Israel, Hamas agree deal for release of Gaza hostages, truce

  • The English language version is self published and not translated. Hamas also has a number of members who are fluent English speakers.

  • Edit: Confirmed that hostage is the terminology used by Hamas to describe their Israeli captives.

    “Therefore, we declare that any targeting of our defenceless civilians' homes without prior warnings will be met with the execution of an Israeli civilian hostage in our custody, and this event will be broadcast publicly“

    Original comment: Maybe I’m just confused, but doesn’t Hamas themselves use the same terminology?

  • I’d be more likely to believe that if spoofing your user agent didn’t immediately fix the issue.

  • Edit: On second look, this is the article, just a very poor “summary” for whatever reason.

    Original response:

    Sorry, I’m confused. Here’s the first 5 paragraphs in the linked article. I’m not seeing any of it summarized by the bot.

    Israel's government and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a four-day pause in fighting to allow the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.

    Officials from Qatar, which has been mediating secret negotiations, as well as the U.S., Israel and Hamas have for days been saying a deal was imminent.

    Hamas is believed to be holding more than 200 hostages, taken when its fighters surged into Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies.

    A statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said 50 women and children will be released over four days, during which there will be a pause in fighting.

    For every additional 10 hostages released, the pause would be extended by another day, it said, without mentioning the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

  • I think this bot is broken. This isn’t the article linked.

    Edit: On second look this is the article, just a terrible summary missing pretty much everything important.

  • Well yes, but actually no.

    Regardless I hope you have a good evening and I wish you better interactions with others. I don’t plan on replying anymore.

  • Ah, you just like to fight. Got it.

  • If you mean people should be able to financially afford to live alone by choice. I 100% agree.

  • Are you always this antagonistic? Calling what I said “legitimately stupid” is pretty rude.

    I had 3 roommates in a small apartment out of necessity for years and it was stressful, but it did help me feel less lonely. I was literally just pointing to one small positive (in my opinion and from my perspective) in an otherwise shitty situation.

  • Fair response, but being around and meeting people can help even if it’s something you’re forced to do out of necessity.

    Living with disrespectful or negative people can suck too though.

  • I mean, people are reportedly lonely as fuck these days too, so maybe there is a silver lining to this terrible situation?

    Edit: Thanks for the downvotes y’all. Rage and negativity are apparently the only appreciated responses here. Lol

  • I appreciate your service moderating this place. I think I’ll keep including it in my posts because I find it helpful, but I’m sorry you have to deal with additional spam reports about it.

  • Just so it’s not misunderstood, the reason I am posting Media Bias/Fact Check summaries is to add context. It is not to say that one particular news source is biased or shouldn’t be trusted. Perspectives and life experiences vary, and I don’t think we can assume everyone here is on the same page or that everyone is familiar with any particular American news outlet.
