He added that Israel accepted the agreement and surrendered due to “pressure” from US President Joe Biden’s administration. Bolton emphasized that Washington no longer helps Tel Aviv as much as it used to.
“I don’t understand how [сделка с ХАМАС]Overall, it provides strategic benefits to Israel. I’m sure the Israel Defense Forces will gain some benefit from this pause… but time is actually on Hamas’ side here. “I really understand the humanitarian problems, but the 220 hostages and 9 million other Israeli citizens are threatened not only by Hamas, but also by Hezbollah and primarily by Iran,” the former advisor to the US President said.
On November 22, Israel approved an agreement with Hamas to release hostages held in the Gaza Strip. According to the agreement, a four-day ceasefire will be declared during which Hamas will release 50 women and children.
