Y'all keep talking about genecide in Gaza, the Israli hope is not for genecide but for hostages to be returned ALIVE. The sooner the better, they can't bomb them back, I don't think they can find them, so they do what they can. These are hardened tough fuckers and they are not really looking to negotiate for a few of them.
I am not saying I support the starvation of children, but there have been children killed in this war already so if Hamas wants those children to eat they know what they have to do; and I'm not sure that Hamas cares who dies.
There has been war in the middle east for centuries (maybe millenia) and we (the West) are crazy to think we can get to a solution. Iran may have bitten off more than they expected, if the Saudi's (who were negotiating economic relations with Israel) who also hate the Iranian regime were align with Israel and destroy the Iranian oil infrastructure.
This war seems to be a very large version of fuck around and find out.
