What was the original duration of the truce between Israel and Hamas? -On 22 November, an agreement was reached that was brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S. after weeks of negotiations. The deal provided for a four-day pause in fighting, the release of 50 Israeli hostages and 150 Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of more humanitarian aid into Gaza. –What did that accomplish.
Israel should not have to negotiate with anyone, as the UN and ICJ called for unconditional release of all the hostages, as hostage taking is a major violation of UN rules of war and Geneva Conventions.
