A few facts to keep in mind in the coming weeks regarding this deal:
-
All of the "hostages" are really prisoners of war, everyone currently in Hamas captivity was an active duty IDF soldier captured from military bases in Israel or taken captive while in Gaza as they were committing genocide.
-
Hamas has offered to release all the hostages in exchange for a full ceasefire since October 11, 2023
-
Israel is an illegal genocidal apartheid regime that's committed to annexing and ethnically cleansing all Palestinian land, and as such will likely try to scuttle this peace deal and blame Hamas.
A better question is if you can name a country that isn't "anti-foreigner" or don't have a significant % of the population that's anti-foreigner. This is a widespread problem everywhere you go, even supposedly "woke" European countries (especially those countries, really).
