Israel approves deal with Hamas to free at least 50 hostages in exchange for pause in fighting. A bad deal?

I am not sure this is a good deal for Israel! Is too much Western weakness and pressure to blame?

What do you expect from a senile, demented and corrupt 46th U.S. President! Failure and lack of leadership!

Four days long cease fire? Too much!
Three Palestinian prisoners for every hostage? Too much!

"... Under the reported deal, 50 hostages will be released over four days starting on Thursday or Friday. Afterward, Hamas can extend the truce by releasing an additional 10 hostages a day. Up to 80 of the estimated 240 hostages in Gaza could be released. The deal does not include the release of Israeli soldiers taken captive, nor does it involve the release of foreign nationals. ...

In exchange, Israel will release three Palestinian prisoners for every hostage released, 150 for the initial group released in the coming days, and up to 240 Palestinians in total. That represents only a tiny fraction of the approximately 5,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons on security offenses prior to Oct. 7.

Israel is also agreeing to pause its offensive in Gaza for at least four days and to suspend aerial surveillance for six hours a day during that time, in part so Hamas can locate additional hostages. Israeli soldiers will remain in northern Gaza, which they invaded last month, during the pause. ..."
