⚡️🇪🇬🇵🇸 Egyptian authorities have presented a mechanism for the de-escalation that would both insure a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip and the return of Israeli detainees to Israel.

Israel has not rejected the proposal, and is supposed to review it in an official capacity on the 25th of December, while the response of Palestinian officials from Hamas and the PIJ is not noted - they were there in Cairo during the talks.

The Egyptian proposal includes "one or two weeks of ceasefire" in exchange for the release of 40 Israeli women, as well as any men above the age of 60 + the ones in dire medical need.

Thus concludes the first stage - the second stage involves an exchange of all bodies between the Palestinian and Israeli side, moving into the third stage - includes an All for All deal - all Israeli military personnel in captivity in exchange for the release of all Palestinians in Israeli prisons, followed by an Israeli withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

📄 Hamas and other resistance factions are rejecting all current ceasefire and prisoner exchange deals, as they stress that they won't accept a temporary halt to this war.

The demand is to end this war, and that to be followed by the prisoner swap. This was rejected by the Israeli government who is adamant at achieving further damage to Hamas and increase pressure on Gaza to pay less for the hostages.

— 🇮🇷 A note to those who claim 'regional tensions will skyrocket' because 'Iran wants revenge'

Yes, Iran wants revenge, and it will avenge, but Iran has rarely openly responded to any such assassinations in the past. The responses have mostly remained unpublicized.

Just a few weeks ago two senior IRGC generals were killed in Syria, and Iran did not escalate or avenge them openly, despite people saying they would.

Iran seeks its revenge in the shadows. There will suddenly be a fire at some chemical plant in Haifa, or a senior IDF commander will be in a suspicious car crash, or Benny Gantz' secretary will turn out to be an Iranian spy.

This is how it's been, and how it will be. Iran rarely responds publicly unless the enemy publicly announces the assassination, such as with Soleimani.

لعنك الله

— It is shamelessly obvious what Israel is planning to do to the Palestinians in Gaza

The only question that remains, is whether Egypt will be complicit in this second Nakba.
