Thousands attend first in-person rally for Gaza hostage deal since Iran ceasefire
So repetitive. Sooooo boring. So very, very stupid and self-destructive.
[IsraelTimes] Demonstration urging end to war highlights plight of mothers of soldiers fighting in Gaza; hostages’ families reportedly pushing for meeting with Trump next week

Thousands of protesters gathered at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square on Thursday to demand a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, the first such demonstration since a truce ended 12 days of war between Israel and Iran.

One of the organizing groups of the protest was Ima Era (Wide-awake mother), which brings together mothers of soldiers. The group’s name alludes to mothers’ difficulty sleeping knowing their children could be killed at war — a fear that speakers say is foreign to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and many of his ministers.

After the speeches, protesters marched to the Begin Road entrance to IDF Headquarters to continue the demonstration there. Many of the protesters held small battery-powered toy candles. Backing up the march was a mock funeral procession with eight faux coffins.

Police arrested at least four anti-government protesters on Begin Road, according to a lawyer group offering pro bono services to people detained at anti-government demonstrations.

The Haaretz daily reported that protesters were detained for blocking traffic on Namir Road, a major route that feeds into Begin.

The families of hostages held in Gaza are working with senior US government officials to organize a meeting with US President Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
next week, Channel 12 reported Thursday.

"Trump is the one who can put pressure on the mediators, on Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
, and also the Israeli government to choose a comprehensive deal, despite opposition from [hard-right Finance Minister] Bezalel Smotrich and [National Security Minister] Itamar Ben Gvir," families told Channel 12.
Bibi Netanyahu has his own opinions, as he’s made very clear.
The apparent push to meet Trump came amid several media reports that said the US President was pushing Netanyahu to conclude the war against Hamas following the success of the 12-day war against Iran.
The same media that reported that Bibi and The Donald were feuding? It’ll be very interesting to see how much of what was reported in recent weeks turns out to have been a deliberate ruse to fool Iran...
Kan news reported that Trump’s call on Thursday to cancel Netanyahu’s criminal trial was also linked to this effort.

According to Israel Hayom, as part of the American president’s plan to end the war, new countries would join the Abraham Accords, and Israel would be required to commit to supporting a future Paleostinian state.
Required??
Citing an unnamed source familiar with a phone call between Netanyahu and Trump, the newspaper reported that during the call, the two leaders agreed to wrap up the war in Gaza within two weeks, requiring Israel to halt its military offensive and Hamas to release the remaining 50 hostages.

The Paleostinian terror group’s leadership would then be exiled, and four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would be tasked with jointly governing the war-torn enclave in its place, the report said. It did not identify the other two Arab states that would supposedly help govern the territory.

As part of the rehabilitation of the Strip, any Gazooks wishing to emigrate would be absorbed by several unnamed countries, Israel Hayom said.

Arab states have repeatedly asserted that they will not take part in the postwar rehabilitation of Gaza absent Israeli acquiescence to the Paleostinian Authority gaining a foothold in the Strip as part of a pathway to a future two-state solution, a demand that, until now, Netanyahu has flatly rejected.

Moreover, Hamas’s leaders have also long rejected demands to go into exile.

As part of the plan, Trump and Netanyahu were said to have agreed that Israel would be required to express support for a future two-state solution, conditioned on reforms made by the Paleostinian Authority. In exchange, Washington would recognize Israeli illusory sovereignty in some parts of the West Bank.

With the end of the war in Gaza and a renewed Israeli commitment to a future two-state solution, both Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
and Syria would establish ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords, the report stated, and other Arab and Moslem countries would follow suit.

Saudi Arabia has long conditioned the establishment of diplomatic ties on Israel’s commitment to Paleostinian statehood, while the possibility of peace with Syria has been raised repeatedly in recent months as the two countries are reportedly in direct contact following the fall of the Assad regime last year.

But even amid the renewed push to bring an end to the war, Kan reported that no progress had been made in Cairo, where Paleostinian American political activist Bishara Bahbah has been in talks with senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad about a US ceasefire proposal.

A security official with knowledge of the details of talks told Channel 12 on Thursday that associates of Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya were pushing him to reach a deal.

"They are telling him, ’You have no support and no sponsors. You have to begin to move, you have no one to lean on,'" the official said.
