Strange, no mention of it on the Zion thread.

Weird timing. I wonder what that's all about.

I am guessing that once Israel gets all the remaining hostages back war will resume, with a vengeance!

Weird?, not really.

President-elect Donald Trump warned that if the hostages whom Hamas is still holding in Gaza are not released by his inauguration on January 20, “all hell will break out in the Middle East” – offering one more stark indication of how much the incoming president would prefer to avoid inheriting the Israel-Hamas war as he prepares to take office in less than two weeks.

“It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out. I don’t have to say anymore, but that’s what it is,” Trump said in remarks at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Tuesday, adding that “there should have never been” the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel.

Only if they're attacked.

I was working on the basis that Trump would have wanted to be the one to fix it as soon as he took office. To avoid giving any credit to Biden.

It will only take some breakaway militant to lob a couple of rockets into Israel to kick it all off again.
