So no surprise that Netanyahu is reneging on the hostage deal even though Hamas has followed through on their end thus far. What motivation does that give them to release more hostages? I thoroughly expect Israel to resume bombing Gaza within the next couple of days.

There's a solid chance this blows the ceasefire, and it's so so stupid. It's theatrics... Netanyahu caught a lot of anger from the usual sources+ when the dead family's bodies were returned, and needed to be seen to be smacking hamas somehow so he's making a stink about their (garbage theatrics) practice of forcing hostages to parade in front of an audience to smile and wave goodbye before being exchanged, and holding back palestinian prisoners. He expects hamas to back down and resume the exchanges, which is incredibly dumb because hamas doesn't care about the Palestinians and would love to resume hostilities and make it Israel's fault. And he knows this but he doesn't care either.

It was bold to ever expect Israel to honour a pause in its goal of extermination.

'bold' is not a word i would use in describing hamas in lining up civilian victims knowing full well israel will resume bombing at the first opportunity.

I think negotiators were the bold ones in expecting Israel to keep up their end of the deal.

I don't think there was ever much of a realistic chance that would have, given the international community's milquetoast response / support in some cases.

no argument here - that it has even lasted this long is surprising.

Part of me wants to see him try. The less sadistic part of me acknowledges that will cost a pile of American and Palestinian lives and thus hopes this is a(nother) 'hey look over here' thing while his DOGE stooges continue to ransack.
