13. Hamas may actually release them.
Fri Oct 3, 2025, 06:12 PM

I read today they were fighting with another clan in Gaza. They are in trouble and know it.

And of course Trump will bitch and moan, domestic policy always takes priority over foreign policy. And he's definately screwing that up. People want jobs, food on the table, roof over thier heads and opportunities. Thus far, he's doing the opposite. Putin is still popular in Russia because he knows that if the populace is happy, they'll go along with whatever he wants to do outside of their borders. H. Bush didn't realize that and was easily beat by a no name governor from a small state because he understood this. Droping a ton on money on Argentina isn't going to do you any favors.

Bibi is going to have to make a hard decision, does he allow Hamas to survive quietly and nuetered. Or risk a civil war in Gaza in which the PA will no doubt regain control? He totally miscalculated by making sure the two were in opposition with turning a blind eye to Hamas.
