GAZA/TEL AVIV, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Israel’s government and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a four-day pause in fighting to allow the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.

    There will be no peace.

    Once Israel recovers the hostages or confirms their death, Gaza becomes a parking lot.

      Israel could have made Gaza a parking lot well before any hostages were taken if that’s what they wanted to do.

        It seems that’s the plan right now. They’re making it a parking lot as fast as the international community (well mostly the US) will tolerate.

          So extremely slowly? Gaza’s population has doubled in the last 17 years since Israel’s withdrawal.

          If they wanted a parking lot they could have had it.

            Nobody said Israel wants to kill all Gazans. However, by their own admission, they want to forcibly relocate them (which is ethnic cleansing and depending on who you ask genocide) for Lebensraum.

              Just as the Gazans want to forcibly relocate the Israelis, most of whom were born there, and a large percentage have families that have been there for hundreds of years.

              Both sides want to ethnically cleanse the other, yet idiots on this site seem to love to support Palestine only, and ignore their own attempts at genocide.
