It'd be a side deal. Bibi is going to need another diversion.
Like a peace deal and cease-fire? That kind of diversion? Once the agreement is formally approved - as expected - by the Israeli cabinet, a ceasefire will take effect. Reports in Israeli media suggest this will happen immediately, although a spokesperson for the prime minister's office said it would begin within 24 hours of the cabinet's approval.

The Israeli military will withdraw to a line that will leave it in control of about 53% of the Strip, the spokesperson said. According to a map distributed by the White House last week, this is the first of three stages of Israeli withdrawal.

The Israeli military said on Thursday that preparations were under way to "transition to adjusted deployment lines soon".

After this, a 72-hour countdown will begin during which Hamas must release all 20 of the hostages believed to be alive. The return of the bodies of the 28 deceased hostages would follow, although it is not clear how long that could take.

Israel would then release about 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences in Israeli jails and 1,700 detainees from Gaza (based upon the current exchange rate?), a Palestinian source told the BBC. Their identities are currently unclear, but a list submitted by Hamas before the agreement was reached included high-profile figures serving multiple life sentences for deadly attacks on Israelis.

One of the most high-profile prisoners, Marwan Barghouti, will not be released as part of the swap, according to the Israeli spokesperson.

Israel will also return the bodies of 15 Gazans for the remains of each Israeli hostage, according to Trump's plan.

Under Trump's deal, Hamas plans to release all 20 hostages in exchange for roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military will begin a withdrawal from the majority of Gaza.

The news comes just two days after the second anniversary of October 7 - the attacks by terror group Hamas on Israel which sparked the current conflict.

Bibi will have to save the world from Iran and their conventional weapons again.
November 2, 2025
Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial in the Jerusalem District Court is scheduled to resume with intensified hearings starting November 2, 2025. This marks the beginning of a new phase where sessions will occur four days per week, with Netanyahu testifying three times weekly to accelerate the cross-examination process, which is expected to continue for several months. No hearings are listed between October 9 and November 1, 2025, based on recent court rulings from August and September 2025. This schedule follows delays due to national security matters, including the Iran-Israel conflict and Gaza operations, and aligns with the trial's progression since Netanyahu's testimony began in December 2024.

They cant hold Court in a bunker....

Well, let’s hope it’s a sign of good things to come.

The agreement is the “first phase” of an elaborate concordat that goes beyond merely ending the carnage that has taken the lives of tens of thousands of Gazans in a brutal war that was triggered by the barbaric invasion of Southern Israel Hamas and its affiliated terrorist groups carried out during the Simchat Torah holiday in 2023.

All that’s in motion at the moment is part of the third point of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “20-point peace plan” for Gaza, but it’s very much worth celebrating.
1760035594160.jpegA return of the hostages will be their own liberation and will help to heal the agony endured by their families. It will mean a dramatic and sudden decline in the extortionate leverage Hamas has been wielding for the past two years, and an immediate flood of humanitarian aid into the cratered exclave is just around the corner.

Trump’s plan has upset the vast “Free Palestine” constituency in the NATO capitals, which is now the last major redoubt of support for Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the rest. The complaint is that Trump’s plan, like its antecedent in the New York Declaration of July 29, anticipates Hamas surrendering its arms and relinquishing any role in the political life of Gaza and a future Palestinian state.

Trump’s plan explicitly stipulates that Hamas and its affiliated factions must agree to forego any direct or indirect role in Gaza’s governance, and that all military and “offensive infrastructure” including tunnels and weapon production facilities be destroyed. Gaza would be fully demilitarized, weapons would be permanently decommissioned, and a “New Gaza,” policed by troops from an International Stabilisation Force, must be fully committed to peace with Israel.

This is a bridge too far for Code Pink, former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the Electronic Intifada organization, United Nations special rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese, the virulently anti-Israel Democratic Party congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the Vancouver-based, terrorist-listed Samidoun Network, the New York “anti-Zionist” organization Within Our Lifetime, the Progressive International organization and the Sumud Flotilla that recently staged an elaborate high seas mischief-making exercise masquerading as a humanitarian mission.

What cheque and to whom? With more clues I can “Google” that for both of us when time permits.
Read up on the Euston Manifesto which Glavin is into... for a pro-democracy group they're pretty far right.
