The so-called experts
Way back in September 2024 I brought back a deal from Hamas for ending the war and returning all of the hostages -living and deceased. All of the so-called experts who in their lives never spoke to someone from Hamas insisted that Hamas will never release all of the hostages – the hostages are their insurance policy, the asserted. I disagreed – but they knew more than me. Even when the deal was done the same so-called experts said that Hamas would not release all of the hostages. They were wrong back in 2024, they were wrong in October 2025 and they were wrong now. So much for the so-called experts.

Gershon in this article from September 2024 you clearly say that the deal you proposed included Israel fully withdrawing from Gaza, which it did not do following the final ceasefire deal. https://gershonbaskin.org/interviews/gaza-truce-former-israeli-negotiator-reveals-three-week-plan-accepted-by-hamas/
