Public sentiment around the ceasefire talks is largely negative and polarized, with widespread frustration and skepticism directed at the leaders involved, particularly towards Trump and Netanyahu, who are viewed as hypocritical 'war criminals.' Commenters express a strong desire for genuine humanitarian concern and accountability, while also highlighting the horrors faced by civilians in Gaza. There are mixed sentiments of support for Israel and condemnation of Hamas, illustrating the complexity and intensity of the public discourse on this humanitarian crisis.

Hamas

Israel

Negotiations are tough when you’ve lost.

arrogant_ambassador

It's to bad that hamas hates palestinians more than anyone.

giggitygigaty

10 hostages only? How about all the hostages, hamas surrender?

Musclenervegeek

Lol, do they expect Israel to release 1000 Hamas members in return

ProximatePenguin

it seems hezbollah &amp; iran love their people more than hamas do to theirs. hezbollah/lebanon decided to signed that ceasefire agreement even if it's disadvantageous to them. iran ignored israel's bye bye plane so that the war would stop. i don't understand why the eu &amp; un are so adamant in protecting the status quo. can't they see how the status quo is not good for the region? hatred is so potent that if hamas stays and do oct 7 once again, i think israel would just kill every gazan living in the area.

The problem is that Hamas can never release all the hostages. No matter what is offered.. because that's their only leverage. Without hostages they have no way to influence events at all

That might just be all they have left to bargain with because the rest are dead.

What happened to tRump threats about releasing hostages…must have been too hard, got bored, or just couldn’t do it.  Like the Mexico to pay for the wall, getting Ukraine to surrender in 24 hours, having COVID just fade away, finish the infrastructure bill, etc.

Just some background

Stu_Balls_OC

Unless it includes return of all hostages, there won't be any lasting ceasefire.

c0mputar

Ceasefire is just that, a temporary stopping of bullets and bombs and unless Hamas publicly renounce destruction of Israel it will be back like a weed left with root intact to grow back.

macross1984

Fuck Hamas. Return the hostages, then talk.

hara90

so with Iran broken and proven to be vulnerable, their proxy puppets finally feel like they can't win anymore?

whelp here comes Trump's beach resort I suppose

I mean the europeans can cry and complain about israel bombing the hell out of gaza, but they can't do anything because they don't have an army like the USA

Torak8988

who_ra

I would stop agreeing to cease fires since Israel just immediately breaks them and goes “IT ISNT BROKEN ID YOU DONT RETALITATE”

False flag attack once all hostages are returned, Israel invades again, Palestinians are whipped out and Trump gets his middle east riviera

Not really, all hamas has to do is return the hostages and surrender.

NegevThunderstorm

Qatar is figuring out who they gotta pay in Gaza just to keep the street aligned. While Hamas is busy whacking each other over who gets paid in dollars via cutouts in Doha. Oh, and don’t forget - it’s a competition for who gets first dibs on contracts for Gaza Marine when that gas deal is launched offshore.

ClinchHold

Give the hostages back, and there will be an end to the horror

When Hamas totally disarms and surrenders all control and all of their members leave the stage and disband, it is over. Gaza rebuild begins immediately, and Palestinians can start to rebuild trust and eventually win a country. It is that simple. 

No Hamas = war over. 

There is no other alternative.

XF939495xj6

Hamas keeps refusing every deal while Israel accepted the latest deal.  Hamas is the problem, as always.

B0wwsser

I mean if they could open up the rafah crossing and let some of these people out it would solve a lot of near term problems. I get why Egypt didn’t want to do it but if the Arab states write them a fat check maybe they’ll change their mind. Gaza doesn’t exist anymore and won’t for the foreseeable future. Not enough pressure is put on the Arab neighbors to deal with the Palestinians but perhaps after Israel ass kicking every terrorist  in the region for the last two years they may change their tune. Some positives happening in Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia need to keep that momentum.

renge-refurion

They want a guarantee that if the talks fail, the war won't resume...

Like....what?

TheRiddlerTHFC

&gt;ceasefire talks

What "talks"?  
What's there to talk about?  
There's a finished proposal that tells them to return the hostages and lay down their weapons.  
What do they want to talk about?

BorikGor

So as part of this deal Hamas wants to release some hostages but keep others, they want the aide to go through the UN so they can steal it, they want Israel to leave Gaza completely, and after 60 days they want a complete end to the war while they keep hostages and also want security guarantees from the US. FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU😂😂😂😂.

EDRNFU

These guys sacrificed Gazans and Gaza because they drank the koolaid and really thought they were going to win.

FecklessFool

They have already demanded a commitment from Israel not to resume bombardment. Not going to happen.

Plenty_Beautiful_547

The magic negotiation sauce for Hamas is disbandment.

steve_ample

They're just going to keep making ridiculous demands that they know Israel will never accept.  Hamas wants the war to continue so they can keep dragging Israel's name through the mud.  Hamas is willing to sacrifice everyone in Gaza just to make Israel look bad.

Yes, let's trust Hamas!  Amazing plan.  No chance this fails.

pokemonplayer2001

Hamas is like Russia. Talks about it but then doesn't follow through

Belkan-Federation95

Hopefully this goes through. Expulsion is the path for them.

_chip

They're ready to disarm and surrender? Finally 🎉🎉 this is a great day for the liberation of Palestinians. They will finally be free of Hamas.

DragonBunny23

No negotiating with terrorists.  Only unconditional surrender and the total dismantling of Hamas.

abc123DohRayMe

How does this work with a decentralized group that functions like a franchise? Wouldn't the majority of the members just break off, make their own weapons from humanitarian aids and operate on their own? The region need to be sterile from weapon smuggling but its really hard to do so if rockets and explosives can be easily made with construction and farming supplies. Only then will HAMAS and their sympathizers will fade into obscurity.

catfishgod

Get tf out that terrorist organisation. Let the people rule.

serikielbasa

Guess they got a new supply of rockets and need time to build some schools close to the launchers

Bacardio

So basically they're facing too much internal resistance

NA_0_10_never_forget

I honestly just dont give a flying fuck about Israel, Palestine or any other country in the middle east. They've been murdering eachother over religious nonsense for thousands of years and they aren't going to stop any time soon

kytheon

It’s hard to believe there are any Hamas left.

Colonel-KWP

This whole situation is the worst. It is hard to know who to be more angry at.

And both sides treat Gazan civilians with zero regard. They are just killing people with no reasonable objective in mind.

Suspicious-Buyer8135

Key discussions are underway to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, amidst significant casualties and a critical humanitarian crisis.
