Will Hamas finally disarm? That depends on Israel.

Any such announcement should start with "Once upon a time" and end with "They all lived happily ever after.."😷

Nobody in the middle east wants peace.

There's no oil/money/safety/leverage in it.

I'm not holding my breath, but one always hopes for the best.

Here's what the Israeli press is saying:

IDF will not withdraw without Hamas disarmament, Hamas refuses to disarm without IDF withdrawal

A more pertinent question might be: "Will Hamas remove from their constitution the sworn annihilation of Israel."

As long as there is a hole in my arse, there will be no peace in the Middle East.

Nobody there is interested in living quietly with their neighbours. It’s just not on the cards.

Well, let's see...

1. The war with Iran was won in the first hour and it continues to rage on 5 months later.
2. The economy is in its golden age as inflation rages on.
3. The cost of food is way down as prices rage up.
4. The Russian invasion of Ukraine will end on Day-1 as the war rages on going into its 3rd year.
5. Covid-19 was a hoax while deaths raged under Dr. Fauci.
6. Jim Comey raged for the assassination of Cry-Baby-trump by posting a pic of seashells that the Secret Service confirmed was never a credible threat.
7. ICE continues to execute USA citizens in their own streets.
THIS JUST IN: 8. The Lincoln Reflecting Pool's shoddy renovation that was declared ruined by vandals has now been declared by that same government as "ruined by shoddy renovation" after dropping a case to hold an innocent bystander guilty... with no apology.

Yeah, if he pulls off another lie the Nobel Prize will not only beckon him, it will get into bed with him (after his diaper is changed).

The incentives aren’t there like they were for the Good Friday Agreement. There may be some perceived benefit to both sides, but Israel’s policy of ghettoizing and murder (Gaza) and conquest and murder (West Bank) show no sign of abating.

I’d say both sides are equally boxed in

Not going to happen. The west and particular the US has been making false promises along with Tel Aviv since the 40s.

And it is not on resistance groups to disarm as a show of good faith to their oppressors.
