The Israeli security establishment is a sacred cow that needs to undergo major scrutiny in terms of its strategy, tactics, and desire to win and protect the citizens of Israel, as opposed to listening to DC as to how to fight its wars, and to stop blaming Charedim and preventing hesder trained officers from reaching the top ranks. One has to be worried about its capacity to fight Hezbollah after being caught unprepared for the events of 10.7.

It is hard to believe that just 30 years ago Hamas was not yet murdering Jews. Oslo was a huge failure and people who created it were criminals. Sorry about your son's death.

We are becoming increasingly convinced that what is written in the headline is not what is actually happening.

Signing some document under China's guarantee does not mean the unity of Hamas and Fatah.

The fact that all the intelligence services insist on a temporary ceasefire is also manipulation and an attempt to present it as if the military wants a ceasefire, but Netanyahu does not.

In fact, this is completely wrong, and only the art of headlines and the ability of journalists to interpret everything so that the news coincides with the desires of the majority of users in the world and certain circles in Israel.

Translating into the language of reality, we can say that Hamas, trying to slow down its destruction, is trying with the help of China (Qatar is no longer helping) and fictitious agreements (Fatah will never commit suicide, only a fictitious agreement under China's guarantee) to prolong the agony and find the best way out.

Israeli intelligence services recommend a truce, but only in order to be able to exchange hostages, about which they have no agreement. Hamas has not yet agreed to this, but now is the most favorable moment to put pressure on Hamas.

Netanyahu does not agree because he does not know whether this is not another trap (of which there have already been several dozen), when under the guise of negotiations on an exchange they drag out time and postpone the destruction of Hamas.

That is, everything that happened in the previous months is happening, nothing unique.
