What is the magic other term you’re planning to get? A pinky promise to not do it again?
My point isn’t whether this is the best possible terms that can be expected. My point is that Israel isn’t acting in good faith, and we (international observers) should all be acutely and actively aware of that fact.
As much as I’d love to believe this, ‘Gaza disarmed’ sounds a lot to me like “We’ll try this exact same thing again next year”.
Next year? It’s more like Russia saying they’ll stop attacking if Ukraine surrenders and accepts being conquered.
It’s basically saying “we will stop the war if you let us exterminate you”.
And we see how that already went when Ukraine gave up their nukes.
I’m sorry, what were you expecting here?
This is more or less the best cease fire we could think of for the short term:
They demanded the hostages back (guessing most are dead by now).
Gaza disarmed? I don’t even know what that means, but whatever.
