Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said on November 26 that Israel will return to fighting the Hamas Movement “with determination” once the temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip ends.
“The IDF and its soldiers fight fiercely to protect the lives of our people while upholding the values of the IDF. We created conditions for the framework of the release of the first group of hostage children and mothers [that is taking place] during this pause” in the fighting, Halevi said in an official letter to Israeli troops.
“When the framework is completed, we will return to our operations with determination, for the continued release of the hostages and the complete dismantlement of Hamas,” the IDF’s Chief of Staff added.
Hamas released a total of 26 Israeli citizens, all women and children, in addition to 15 Thai and Filipino nationals on the first and second day of the four-day ceasefire. In exchange, Israel freed 78 Palestinian women and children from its prisons.
Egyptian officials said on November 25 that the ceasefire in Gaza could be extended for a one or two days to enable the release of more Israeli hostages.
Citing the officials, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster said that there were “positive signs” that the temporary ceasefire could be extended.
However, a senior official involved in the indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas called reports regarding the extension of the ongoing truce in Gaza “ridiculous” and “false.” The official told The Times of Israel that it’s highly unlikely any deal extending the temporary ceasefire beyond four days will be finalized more than a day or even hours ahead of time.
During the ceasefire, Hamas is supposed to release only 50 out of more than 240 Israeli who were taken hostages during the October 7 surprise attack on Israel. In exchange for their release, some 150 Palestinians prisoners will be freed from Israeli jails.
The remarks of Herzi and other Israeli officials were likely meant to pressure Hamas into accepting the extension of the ceasefire under terms that are more favorable for Israel. In the end, talks with the movement remain the only realistic option for freeing the hostages.
as long as the gallant freedom fighters of occupied palestine keep whacking and stacking the choseniites the rest of humanity will celebrate. david against the brain dead goliath is truly a spectacle to behold. meanwhile with the fun loving houthi brothers attacking “mo$$ad” mafia shipping and hezbollah keeping the beast bleeding, the anglozionazi abomination “is paying the price” of its genocide.
full agree except for david vs goliath comparison. david has put some qualub (a drug used by famous pedo) in the hans bier and in the louis glass of vine. davy the perv is now on the back of goliath and drives it to attack mohammed. momo counterattack and trows rocks on david head. ali join the fight trowing rock on goliaths legs. hans and louis are still sleeping but let’s pray they join the final fight against david when they wake up.
is it possible to get a trans/lation?
the zionazi abomination has been brought to its kness and is forced to release “women and children” that it has kept jailed for years. yet never a question from the anglozionazi “media”, in the evil west, as to why the chosenite beast has kidnapped and imprisoned children. palestine will be free no matter what it costs and those that feed the chosenite pit-bull will learn that sooner or later as they have with their rump ukrapland “project”.
while they liberated 39 hostages, they killed 250 others, lots of their prisoners never received accusation and never passed in front of a judge, they just hold them illegally, they are hostages as well.
i resolve to lick all pene but now io must pay
according to a poll published friday in the israeli newspaper maariv, if elections were held now, the ruling coalition parties would collapse securing only 41 seats in the israeli parliament, while the opposition parties would rocket to 79 seats.(the end of the murderers will come from within israel).
no…. elections are an illusion. the
but how long will it take to get rid of sadistic netanyahu et al? their bombs are massacring little children in most gruesome manner. the gazan’s are running out of time.
against the backdrop of the days-long truce deal, iranian foreign minister hossein amir abdollahian began a new tour of lebanon and qatar on thursday, warning that if the truce is not extended, war could spread across the middle east.
the entire adult diaper industry is depending on the zionazi genocide to continue, to many shekels at stake…
when i see those vomit colored suites, fascism comes to mind. the idf descended from irgun, haganah and betar extremists
puke green shlomo baby burners and their fake hollow co$t barbarian “religion”.
they will keep going until they achieve “the final solution.”
hamas terrorists will all be barbecued – not one will survive 😀
there is no better way to turn children into future fighters than to barbecue their parents.
if zionism had never emerged in later 1800s – what would the world be like today? better imho. many problems today revolve around israel & usa where majority zionists reside, incl christian zionists. if israel did not exist, there’d have been no destruction of iraq, libya, syria, ukraine, and no palestinians exiled, no 5000 children in gaza mutilated/mass murdered. there’d be no sadistic likkud party running anything, & psychopaths like netanyahu would have no power.
and there would have been no open border policies which have caused cultural clashes between immigrants and native europeans. better relations with the brics nations.
why are.israeli civilians held by palestine called hostages, but not the palestinian civilians held by istael? what is the difference between palestinian women and children in israeli captivity, and israeli women and children in palestiniam captivity? nothing as far as i can tell.
the palestinian juvenile offenders and women are criminals caught in the act, israeli innocent women and children in their pajamas are innocent civilians. and idf officer sitting in their barracks watching with cameras is not a combatant, only a hostage or murdered. an obvious difference even the most barbaric terrorist could understand. you must be worse than the knuckle dragging terrorists, even hamass spokesliars would never utter such a vulgar comparison.
kill more palestinians, my money is at stake here.
