DID HAMAS JUST “BLINK”?????

A 72 hr “truce”?

Will it hold?

Are there stipulations?

Both great questions, but I want to address what I believe to be a far more critical issue.

What made Hamas agree and do so somewhat out of the blue?

Did Hamas blink?

If so, why?

Let’s once again play one of my favorite games….. “WHAT IF”…

What if:

Hamas came to the realization Hezbollah and the Persians were not coming to their aid?

What if:

Hamas realized Sisi has them sealed off from escaping into the Saini?

What if:

They truly began to believe the IDF was not going to stop until the leaders were drugged out of their bunkers.. .bunkers that would show how well they were surviving while the children are blown to pieces on the streets of Gaza?

 What if:

Hamas realized their ability to resupply was completely cut off and they would soon be weakened to the point of falling prey to Fatah or other group’s eager to replace them as the money makers of Gaza?

What if:

The West said, “this is your last chance… we are walking away and the IDF will destroy what is left of you… 10,000 dead in Gaza is acceptable to those who have accepted 200,000 dead in Syria”?

And finally.

What if Hamas is truly tired of hiding behind their own children?

What if that action has caused so much division in their ranks that their forces are about to walk away…. Walk right into the arms of the Islamic State?

Something took place today.

Something Hamas was willing to accept.

Will it hold?

What are the stipulations?

Do either of these questions really matter?
