Why did Hamas fighters come in full uniform
Why did Hamas fighters come in full uniform to release the hostages? This is a message for Israel
Tel Aviv: Israel and Hamas have finally reached a ceasefire agreement. But Benjamin Netanyahu is hardly happy with this ceasefire agreement, because his vow is still unfulfilled. Israel's longest war so far has failed to destroy its biggest enemy, Hamas. Despite suffering devastating losses, Hamas is considering the Gaza ceasefire agreement as its victory and a failure for Israel. Some Israeli leaders are also seeing this ceasefire as a defeat for their country.
Gunmen celebrating on the streets of Gaza
The hostage exchange took place on Sunday, immediately after the ceasefire came into effect, masked gunmen were seen roaming in vehicles and celebrating on the devastated streets of Gaza. During the hostage exchange, members of a special unit wore their full uniform at Al Saraya Square in Gaza city. This was Hamas' message that even after 15 months of Israel's attempt to destroy them, their armed wing is still here. They are not finished yet, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed.
Hamas' message to Israel...
As soon as the ceasefire came into effect on Sunday, fighters of Hamas' elite force suddenly started appearing on the devastated streets of Gaza. These fighters appeared in their full uniform, with masks on their faces and weapons in their hands. Actually, this is also being considered as a message from Hamas to Israel that it is still alive despite all its efforts.
In fact, Hamas showed its strength on the streets of Gaza after 471 days. Hamas fighters wearing masks on their faces came out in the streets of Gaza waving weapons in a white pickup truck. During this, their supporters were also seen raising slogans in enthusiasm. Actually, this is being considered as a direct message to Israel and the countries of the world that Hamas has not been destroyed. It has certainly suffered heavy losses, but Israel has failed to break its back.
What was the agreement between Israel and Hamas?
Hamas' aim in taking about 250 hostages during its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 was to ensure the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. As Israel attacked Gaza, Hamas in response vowed not to return the hostages until Israel withdraws its forces from the enclave, permanently ends the war, and allows Gaza to be repopulated. After more than a year of fighting, Hamas and Israel have now reached a phased agreement that will include the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, in addition to a 42-day ceasefire and the entry of aid. The agreement also opens the door for further negotiations that could lead to Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire.
'Not a deal, but a surrender...'
Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya said in a speech on Wednesday that Israel had failed to achieve its goals. He also praised Hamas' armed wing, the Al Qassam Brigades, whose spokesman Abu Obeida hailed the war in Gaza as an 'inspiration' from which future generations will learn. Israel's main goal was to destroy Hamas, but it has not happened yet. On the other hand, some Israeli ministers, lawmakers and even some members of hostage families see the acceptance of the deal as an Israeli defeat. Far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir and his party resigned from the government and the Knesset (parliament), calling the ceasefire a 'surrender'. Fellow rightist, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, called it 'disastrous' and a group of army reservists called it a 'surrender deal'.
