In a recent announcement Hamas said in an agrangement with Qatar and other countries they were willing to exchange all remaining hostages and bodies off. those. dead for a ceasefire and some. prisoners from Israeli jails. The response from the Israeli goverment was surprising. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will accept nothing more. than total victory. Now in a w ay that's a little stupid. Why not a ceasefirfe and end the war. You'd get the hostages released and business as usual could start to get back to normal. Lives of IDF soldiers could be spared. In a way not too smart Bibi. I think not his greatest move. Then again maybe Hamas about to collapse. In World War 2 the Allies had a No Negotiate-Total Victory Attitude about Germany. Its sorta similar Chuchillian-Rosevelt attitude.Maybe its sorta October 7th is a recent day Israelis mark was a day they were violated by the brutal Hamas incursion. So that is possibly no end to the conflict is in sight.
