A four-day pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip began Friday as Hamas released 24 hostages (13 Israeli women and children, 10 Thai nationals, and one Filipino citizen) while Israel released 39 Palestinian women and children detainees. The exchange is part of a short-term cease-fire deal brokered by Qatar and marks the first time fighting has temporarily halted between the two sides since Hamas captured more than 240 people during a surprise cross-border attack seven weeks ago.

Israel shouldn't be too nice on these exchanges. Hamas cannot be trusted.

No Americans released and Biden takes a victory lap. Americans will be held as the gold chips and Hamas will extract more from the US because Biden is weak and looks for a win anyway he can get it … he will pay $1.2Billion per hostage. The market price has been set.
