Botragelad: 9:53pm On May 11
Hamas officially announces that it intends to release hostage soldier Edan Alexander, who holds American citizenship.

In a statement, Hamas says the decision to release Alexander comes after recent talks with US officials and “intensified efforts to achieve a ceasefire, open border crossings, and allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.”

It does not say when Alexander will be released.

The terror group also says that it is prepared to enter intensified negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement to end the war, establish a mutually “agreed prisoner exchange, and enable Gaza to be istered by an independent professional authority.”

Hamas uses the term “prisoner exchange” to refer to the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian security prisoners.

For those who don’t understand Hamas’s game, here’s their plan.
They’re desperate. Now they’re clinging to hopes of a ceasefire, banking on Trump’s Middle East visit and dreaming he’ll recognise a "Palestine state." This hostage release? A cheap trick to look reasonable.

Handing back a victim doesn’t make a kidnapper a hero. It doesn’t erase the crime. There is no "Palestine state," and Israel will not allow one, not in a way that favor Hamas, especially not for terrorists.
If anyone tries to force it, Israel will act. With or without the US. And you know exactly what that means.

A week after Isreal hit Sanaa airport in Yemen, there was a retaliatory attack where Yemen carried out drone strikes on Ramon airport in Isreal. The US navy aircraft carrier was also attacked on the red sea. Western media suppressed the news. Forget media propaganda, these guys are fully ready for US and Isreal.

President Trump cannot try to Divide GOD'S Land .
He Clearly knows and Understands the Disatrous Consequences of making such Move for the USA and even Himself.

Whether the TERRORISTS release ISRAELI hostages or not, there is nothing like Palestine state. It is nonexistent in the Land of ISRAEL.

Nobody on the face of the Earth dares to Divide the Land of THE ANCIENT OF THE DAYS! THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. Not even Netanyahu, Trump , the Jews themselves or Whoever.

Doing such will Deliver Earth-Shaking Castastrophies and Disastrous Disasters on the Person, Nation,People and the World at Large.

President Donald Trump, as you Visit the MiddleEast ,dont let them deceive you with their tricks , gifts and all that. We Love you and we onish you. U began well, You Know the word of GOD. Dont donate yourself to Destroy Your Nation.


The Children of ISRAEL that I know will never allow such in the Land of ISRAEL.

Any move of such,
Expect The Children of ISRAEL to Do something Mindblowing that will Scatter the whole thing.

The fear of "Operation Gideon's Chariot " is the beginning of wisdom.

If Hamas terrorists allow the IDF to start Operation Gideon's Chariot, it will be the end of Palestinian rule in Gaza.

Isreal should also seek for ways to deescalate. The figures are not looking good for anybody.

Cumulative Impact on Israel (May 2024 – May 2025)
1. Port of Eilat
**85% drop in shipping traffic → Full shutdown
**Estimated revenue loss: ~$200 million
**Staff layoffs: ~50%


2. Maritime Trade
**Shipping rerouted via Cape of Good Hope:
Extra 10–14 days, ~$1M fuel/ship
**Affects hundreds of vessels
**Cumulative added shipping cost: ~$2–3 billion
**Insurance costs: Up 250%; some Israeli-bound vessels uninsurable.


3. Ben Gurion Airport
**Houthi missile strike in May 2025 injured 6
**Flight cancellations/suspensions (e.g., British Airways)
**Estimated loss: ~$50–100 million from disrupted air travel and added security
**Total Estimated Economic Loss (12 months):
$2.5 – 3.5 billion+ (shipping, port, and aviation combined)

It's so amusing that these guys re still keeping hostages. What exactly is the point they're trying to prove and why use human shields. I really pity the Palestinians not Hamas and families, but the innocent little fragile kids. It's just that they have every chance of becoming another teɍor when they grow up

On the contrary they love it because they love playing the victim's card. They love blood. They are being used for politics just as uneducated northerners are being used for boko haram politics
