This temporary ceasefire and hostage exchange was only possible due to Hamas' ability to successfully fight back against the occupiers. I hope they continue to be successful.

Israel is already starting to lay the groundwork for an admission of failure in their war.

=============================

The advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister said that Israel is ready to extend the humanitarian truce in Gaza to get more of its citizens out.

They're going to turn the ceasefire into a stabbed in the back myth and blame Netanyahu for failing to complete the genocide while doing everything they can to get the gently caress out of Gaza.

- She wanted fuel
She wanted to release the terrorists.
- She wanted to suspend IDF operations.

Yeah.

To be honest I'm still in shock.

Hezbollah beat the idf to a standstill in 2006.

But Hamas with some support from hezbollah and the houthis actually beat and defeated the IDF at full power.

Jesus Christ we're in a new world, the world has been changed forever.

Israel was defeated in a set piece full scale war, and out of all the people who did it, it was Hamas.

Israels two biggest assets, their air force has been rendered useless and their armor has been vaporized with a double-barrelled rocket launcher.

If the ceasefire holds, it's an unbelievable victory for humanity as a whole.

still sucks for the enormous damage the IDF caused to houses, hospitals, general infrastructure and lives. Like, enormous respect for the military capabilities, but I'm not sure how Gaza can be restored.

Especially bc Israel's more than capable of restarting the siege at any time.
Maybe it's better not to think ahead for than one day at a time, atm

still kinda reeling from the relief that the ceasefire includes "hundreds of trucks" of supplies.

i am judging by military and political and even repuationally, obviously the nazi level destruction israel has caused was a nightmare and clearly we can see that they cam try to gently caress things over at any moment.

but when we judge this by the military, political and reputational goals, which is the thing that will last longer than the destruction (see vietnam where america killed millions but the north cane out on top), Hamas came out on top, they prevented israel from all their goals and succeeded in attaining many of theirs. with thr added bonus of reminding a whole new generationnof arabs why israel has to be destroyed and also the israelis have made themselves look like the single worst criminals of the 21st century.

ill make a mega post later when my thoughts have clarified on this.

while a lasting ceasefire would be a major victory for hamas, where do they go from there? i imagine they can’t just return to the status quo with gaza as a concentration camp being slowly strangled to death by israel while lobbing the occasional rocket in their direction?

this is the thing that might make the difference in my book as to wether Hamas won the war instead of the battle.

hamas has successfully undermined normalization, i think at this point its very likely no further arab countries of note will make a peace accord with israel unless a palestinian state on 1967 happens. the question that still needs to be resolved is will gaza have their siege finally lifted by egypt and the other states? to be honest i dont know, arab dictators are really stubborn about their stupidity, but Hamas beating israel bought it so much capital and arab governments are under so much pressure from people who have been completelty crack-pinged about the horrors theyve seen to save gaza it might just do the trick.

And there was some concern in the administration about an unintended consequence of the pause: that it would allow journalists broader access to Gaza and the opportunity to further illuminate the devastation there and turn public opinion on Israel.
Israel is unlikely to ramp down its military operation in Gaza when the temporary pause ends, experts say. Israeli officials have vowed to continue the offensive until it destroys Hamas, arguing in some cases that the campaign from the enclave’s north to the south helped the hostage negotiations by making a halt more attractive.

That's because everybody has correctly recognized that a withdrawal from Gaza and failure to completely root out Hamas will be a loss. After everything, after all the talk about this being a new era, about what will happen "the day after", there is simply no way that Israel can sheepishly return to the status quo and claim it was a victory because we "greatly weakened Hamas" or whatever. This isn't 2009, 2012, 2014, or 2021. This is different. It's total victory or bust.

And it's not just "technically" a victory for Palestine. There are some genuine achievements here beyond just humiliating and repelling the IDF. Normalization of relations between Israel and Arab/Muslim countries has been brought to a screeching halt. The Israelis who were evacuated from the Gaza Envelope are absolutely not coming back for a long time if Hamas is still there. Once the initial hostage exchange is made, there's gonna be some enormous pressure on Netanyahu to continue trading until the last hostage is back, at which point the Israeli government and the IDF will receive an additional humiliation as they're forced to acknowledge how many hostages died during the war. Spinning it as "Hamas killed them all" will be a lot more akward if people learn of their deaths not because soldiers find their corpse, but because Hamas says "we've run out of hostages to trade, you accidentally killed the rest of them."

That's why they want more war. Otherwise, this has unquestionably been a total loss for Israel, from start to finish, with geniuenly long term consequences. It's either victory or the hostages, Israel can't have them both.

there was a conversation with Pepe Escobar which had an interesting russian connection re: Israel/Gaza, the entire video is interesting for an analysis of this whole shitshow

specifically North Gaza. And it's not by accident that what what we're seeing in front of us, that the genocide in motion on every smartphone is taking place in isolated North Gaza,
because according to all all the legalistic uh framework of the offshore oil and gas reserves, that were discovered in that part of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Palestinian reserves are essentially in front of North Gaza offshore. Another very very important point the concessions: they end next year. The current concessions for British gas to exploit it, and starting next year when
the concessions are going to be renewed there is a very strong possibility that the government in Gaza could sell these concessions to ... Gazprom. I confirmed this with the Russians "yes it's true, we don't know what's going to happen but yes, we made an offer already"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbs2WgV34HE&t=1380s


It'd be extremely funny if Gazprom got to exploit the Palestine gas supplies for an infinite amount of reasons
