Whew. I'm glad to hear this.
I have to say that I'm highly, highly incredulous that this deal won't break down eventually. I don't currently see anyone who is interested in actually completing the deal who has sufficient leverage on Netanyahu to compel that outcome. But I hope they get as far through the deal as possible. I'd like as many hostages on both sides returned, and as much of a respite as possible.
Still, it's so hard to find hope in this moment. They turned a genocide down from rolling boil to a simmer, but the military is still actively shooting people in both Gaza and the West Bank, and people in both are facing shortages of food and shelter.
Under the best possible circumstances, if all Israeli hostages are released, I don't see any reason why Netanyahu wouldn't just resume the extermination campaign in Gaza.
