This is really, really, really good news. Iran, effectively, drawing out of the war.

There may be a lot of discussion on the Israeli side as to what this means, if the Iranians are faking, and so on.

This is my experience. First of all, I fought Ahmadinejad, and was instrumental in the power shift to mr. Rouhani, who is an Iranian dove. So we have a new dove in office on Iran.

Of cause this does not mean, that the hawks are gone, they are there. Yet, as we speak, the doves are in charge.

This again means, that with a peace oriented leadership in Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis are on their own.

Combined with the prowess of Israel at the battlefield, the time to make a deal is NOW!

Do the math; after a month or two, the forces of Hezbollah will be greatly diminished and add to this, Israel will be even more angry than what we are today.

So, do the deal, it is that simple. What do you want?

The situation is like this. Hamas has actually won A LOT of international support, and if Hamas makes a deal right now, it will be leaving with all of that support.

Effectively it will be a stalemate, Israel has a lot of support as well. But compared to before the 7´th of October, Hamas has improved its international standing a lot.

So, this is it, make a deal, you can leave with your head held high, and Israel can have its hostages back.

G-d bless the will to make peace in the Gaza/Israel war, and may all of the Middle East prosper in the peace that comes after.
