I don’t see Israel adhering to this, they’ve violated every single one thus far
They’ll probably wait until the hostages are exchanged and return to annihilation

Probably won’t even wait that long.
While the broader population seem to genuinely consider the hostages extremely important, the decision makers in the government don’t care about them except as a convenient excuse for doing what they’ve always wanted to do.
So when is the food coming into Gaza?
Israel will not honor this one , just like they have not honored many in the past.
Yeah lmao who is gonna believe the people that bombed negociators in a sovereign third country
Celebratory gunfire aimed at the nearest Palestinian.
This is a lunch break in preparation for the next wave of attacks.
Technically a ceasefire is just a pause in hostilities. Like if you stop bombing to refuel the bombers. And there is a good chance that Bibi will do just that.
Too early to celebrate
Gunfire to celebrate a ceasefire… Nicely shows in what crazy kind of world we are living in…
But also: Phantastic news!
A really positive start into my day for a change!I now just hope that actually works out as planned.
I believe it’s common there to celebrate with gunfire. It probably wasn’t especially chosen to celebrate ceasefire with gunfire. I could be midtown though.
When I visited Jerusalem with my wife several years ago we were also standing upright in our hotel room when we suddenly heard yelling and gunfire and when we spoke to the hotel guys they told us we shouldn’t worry, it was just a wedding celebration.
That is some of the crazy part.
Guns being so common and widespread that they are routinely used in everyday civil life events without anyone bashing an eyelid.
I have the slight fear that it will take a very long time until the Middle East won’t regularily erupt into violant outbursts any more…
I’m from the region and this is a thing even in places that aren’t and have historically not erupted into violent outbursts. It’s just a local culture thing, and according to Wikipedia isn’t even an exclusively Middle Eastern thing.
This gives me some hope. Maybe the connection to actual violence is weaker than I think.
Still a crazy form of behaviour, though. People regularily get killed by it (I just now read the mentioned Wikipedia article).
Bro it’s a fucking war zone. Get a grip for fuck sake!
Not everyone live your comfortable life in a “first world” country.
Bro it’s a fucking war zone.
Wouldn’t that not be just another reason to not fire weapons randomly in populated areas?
But what you are saying is basically exactly what I am trying to get at:
War has become so much normalized in the region, that people just don’t know otherwise any more.
Quoting the somewhat fitting Cranberries song:
“In your head, they’re still fighting”.
Even while a glimmer of peace is shining across the horizon.Ok Dolores…
Some of those gathered in the city’s hostage square said Trump should be recognised for his role in brokering the deal, calling for a “Nobel prize to Trump” as they gathered in the early hours of the morning to celebrate.
Oh, he’ll love to hear that. I, for one, find it hard to give him any credit beyond ‘he was there’. Then again, Biden was so incredibly weak stopping Israel, fighting under him might have dragged on for longer.
