From the above its obvious, Both Israel and Iran, the regional power that
backs Hezbollah, wanted an end to the
fighting in Lebanon, each for its own reasons.
All but decimated, Hezbollah had little
alternative to agree.

Extensive air, naval, and ground campaigns
dismantled Hezbollah’s capabilities over 14
months of fighting.
The IDF released detailed data of Operation
Northern Arrows against Hezbollah on Friday,
following the ceasefire agreement with
Lebanon, which took effect early Wednesday
morning.
According to the data, at least 2,500 terrorists
were killed. This number includes Hezbollah
Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and 14
senior members of the group’s leadership,
including Fuad Shukr, the organization’s chief
of staff. In addition, four division commanders,
24 brigade commanders, 27 battalion
commanders, 63 company commanders, and
22 platoon commanders were killed during the
campaign.
Ground operations were a key element in the
campaign, with 14 brigade combat teams
participating in over 100 special operations
missions and 24 divisional raids. These
operations, combined with the aerial and naval
components, dealt a severe blow to
Hezbollah’s Radwan Force and its operational
infrastructure.
The IDF’s air and naval units played a central
role in the campaign. Fighter jets logged
approximately 14,000 flight hours, including
11,000 sorties (quick military strikes) targeting
Hezbollah assets across Lebanon. Naval
forces, meanwhile, conducted around 25,000
operational hours at sea to secure maritime
zones and prevent arms smuggling.
More than 12,500 Hezbollah targets were
struck during the operation, including 1,600
military headquarters and over 1,000 weapons
storage facilities. The campaign also targeted
infrastructure deep within Lebanon, with 360
sites struck in Beirut and approximately 1,000
sites neutralized in the Bekaa Valley, a known
Hezbollah stronghold.

Hezbollah’s firepower capabilities were also
significantly reduced. The IDF estimates that
the group now retains less than 30 percent of
its pre-war fleet of drones.
The campaign also saw the confiscation of
over 155,000 weapons and pieces of military
equipment. This includes approximately
12,000 explosive devices, drones, and other
explosive weapons, more than 13,000 anti-
tank missile launchers and rockets, and anti-
aircraft missiles. Over 121,000 communication
devices, computers, electronic equipment, and
documents were also confiscated.
Maintaining security on the northern
border
Brig.-Gen. Yiftach Norkin, Commander of
Division 146, praised the operation’s
accomplishments, emphasizing that the IDF
remains deployed along the northern border to
maintain security and preserve the hard-won
achievements of recent months.

“Over the past year, you have pushed
Hezbollah back and cleared the areas from
which the group directly threatened the
residents of the north,” he said, addressing
soldiers and reservists. “Your achievements
are inspiring and have created a stable
foundation for decisions aimed at security. We
are determined to uphold the agreement and
enforce any violations.”

Hezbollah urged Iran in recent days to launch
an attack against Israel as fighting between
the Lebanese militant group and the Israeli
military dramatically escalated, but Iran has
so far refrained, two Israeli officials and one
Western diplomat told Axios.
Why it matters: A direct Iranian attack
against Israel would dramatically destabilize
the region even further and likely draw the
U.S. into more active fighting.
Two Israeli officials said Iranian officials
told their Hezbollah counterparts that "the
timing isn't right" for launching an attack
against Israel because the Iranian
president Masoud Pezeshkian is currently
in New York for the UN General Assembly.
In a briefing with reporters on Monday in
New York, Pezeshkian said Israel is the
party seeking a wider war in the region
and stressed that Iran doesn't want to fall
into this "trap."
A senior Israeli official said the security
cabinet directive to Israel Defense Forces
is to avoid steps the would give Iran a
reason or a pretext to join the fighting.
The Iranian mission to the UN and a
spokesperson for Hezbollah didn't respond
to a request for comment.
Driving the news: Israel and Hezbollah over
the last two weeks engaged in the most
intense fighting between them since the 2006
war in Lebanon.
Israeli attacks have killed hundreds of
people, many of them civilians, and
injured thousands of others in Lebanon.
Tens of thousands of people have fled
southern Lebanon.
On Tuesday, the IDF conducted an
airstrike in Beirut that the Israeli military
claimed killed the head of Hezbollah's
rocket and missile force Ibrahim Qabisi.
The Lebanese press reported five people
were killed in the strike.
More than one million people in Israel —
from the Haifa area to the border with
Lebanon — have experienced the most
wide-ranging rocket and drone attacks
Hezbollah has launched against Israel.
Most have been intercepted but several
people were injured.
Hezbollah suffered massive loses with
many of its top military commanders
killed and its communications systems
compromised. Israeli officials said Israel
destroyed a large portion of the militant
group's rocket and missile arsenal over
the last few days.
Behind the scenes: Two Israeli officials and
one Western diplomat told Axios that Israeli
and U.S. intelligence indicates Hezbollah
reached out to the Iran in recent days and
urged the Iranians to help by conducting an
attack in retaliation for the Israeli
assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh
in Tehran two months ago.
Iran has vowed to retaliate for Haniyeh's
assassination. The U.S. and Israel at the
time said they were concerned Iran would
conduct another missile and drone attack
against Israel, similar to the attack in
April. But two months later, the Iranians
still haven't retaliated.
In their conversations with Hezbollah in
recent days, the Iranians expressed
reservation about joining the fight against
Israel now and didn't give a positive
response, the officials said.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
discussed the possibility of direct Iranian
involvement in the fighting in Lebanon with
his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant during a
phone call on Sunday, Israeli officials said.
Pentagon spokesperson Press Secretary
Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Austin made
clear to Gallant "that the U.S. remains
postured to protect U.S. forces and
personnel and determined to deter any
regional actors from exploiting the
situation or expanding the conflict."
What they're saying: Pezeshkian later on
Monday in an interview with CNN said Iran
doesn't want Lebanon to turn into another
Gaza and pledged support for Hezbollah.
"Hezbollah cannot stand alone against a
country that is being defended and
supported and supplied by Western
countries, by European countries and the
United States," he said.

BALLOSKI:
The Hamas in Gaza hasn't been defeated and It's almost a year now, and you think Israel can defeat with a higher military strength than Israel and the biggest in the region?

If USA and allies no dey for Israel, den for no dey again.

Since this threat of attack on Israel, it has been reported that 500,000 people have left the country, in fact, some are even applying for polish citizenship already.

Israel lives in constant fear, and it's not good. They should do away with Netanyahu, the war monger who uses wars to protect his government.

You are supremely funny

1). Israel are rushing home to carry guns and kill Arabs not the other way around

2). Hamas are holding hostages and Israel cannot be killing their own people (iran and Hezbollah are not holding Israel citizens). Israel will be bombing without mercy

3). The coalition that stopped iran drones and missiles only intercepted the drones. Israel own defence actually destroyed the missiles

4). All the coalition was just not to give Israel the chance to be flying above their country and bombing iran every single day like 10 times like Doctor's prescription. But that will change if iran attacks again

5). There is no scenario israel will not kill up to 1million Iranians if they and Israel go to war. It just that USA have a hard time defending israel with over 40,000 gazans dead and 93,000 injured. Imagine the horror of 1 million Iranians dead.

5). Netanyahu is actually a pragmatic guy, once iran does attack. He will be drowned out by the israel war machine that have been praying for this war for more than 40 years.

This is the language they used on October 7th to start the final DESTRUCTION and DEVASTATION of HAMAS and GAZA.

If IRAN and Hezbollah like make them go give Netanyahu the moral high ground. He will be bombing Iran every day and be saying Israel is still the victim of Iran attack.

Iran as we know it will change forever. If you think I am lying please ask Hamas in Gaza

With Israel bracing for Hezbollah and Iran’s
promised response to the recent killings of
several high profile terror leaders, the Foreign
Ministry has distributed a document to its
ambassadors around the world preparing the
ground for the potential Israeli response.
According to Channel 12 news, the text was
formulated at several meetings involving Foreign
Minister Israel Katz and other senior officials,
and it makes plain that Israel will not allow an
Iranian or Hezbollah attack to go unanswered.
The document, which casts Iran as the “head of
the snake” and “the primary instigator of
regional instability,” instructs Israeli diplomats
stationed abroad to emphasize that “while Israel
always prefers diplomatic solutions, it remains
resolute in protecting its citizens at any cost,
acting as any responsible, democratic, and law-
abiding nation would under similar
circumstances.”
“Iran is the primary instigator of regional
instability, financing, training, arming, and
directing its proxies, including Hamas and
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Gaza, Hezbollah
in Lebanon, Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, and
the Houthis in Yemen,” states a copy of the
English-language document obtained by The
Times of Israel.
“For the past ten months, Iran has led relentless
terrorist attacks on Israel and its citizens,
launching hundreds of missiles and drones from
its territory and threatening further synchronized
assaults from these proxies,” it adds, noting
Hezbollah’s “sustained assault from Lebanon
against Israel,” which “has involved over 6,500
rockets, more than 100 anti-tank missiles, and
hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles, causing
the deaths of 44 individuals and injuring dozens,
including many civilians.”
This includes the 12 children killed by a
Hezbollah rocket strike in the Druze village of
Majdal Shams, which “represented a red line that
Israel could not ignore.”

Lebanese youth organizations in the southern Lebanese city of
Saida, on August 5, 2024, to protest against the assassination

“Israel’s response targeted a legitimate military
objective, eliminating senior Hezbollah military
commander Fouad Shukr, the organization’s top
strategist, on July 30. This operation was
conducted with exceptional precision to minimize
civilian casualties,” Israel’s diplomats were
instructed to emphasize.
“Israel asserts its right to defend its security and
the safety of its citizens against Iranian
terrorism,” the document continues, arguing that
Tehran’s action also “threaten global stability”
through its nuclear program, its supply of
weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine, and
“attacks on maritime vessels in the Red Sea via
Houthi proxies.”
“The international community must condemn the
actions of Iran and its proxies and apply effective
pressure to halt the escalation driven by Iran.
Iran and its proxies must be held solely
accountable for their attacks and their
consequences,” Israeli ambassadors were
instructed to say.
Hezbollah and Iran have both vowed to avenge
the deaths of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr,
who died in an Israeli strike in Beirut last
Tuesday night, and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh
in Tehran, who was killed in a bomb blast in
Tehran several hours later. Israel has not
publicly taken nor denied responsibility for
Haniyeh’s death.
Iran has threatened to “punish” Israel for the
killing, warning its response would be harsher
than its attack on April 13-14, when it fired 300
drones and missiles, almost all of which were
intercepted, at Israel in retaliation for an alleged
Israeli strike in Syria that killed two generals in
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Despite Iran and Hezbollah’s threats, another
large strike has not yet been launched, with
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah insisting that
the uncertainty regarding the date of its response
constitutes “part of the punishment” for Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated last
week that Israel “is at a very high level of
readiness for any scenario, both defensively and
offensively” and has promised to “exact a very
heavy price for any act of aggression against us
from any front.”
Officials in the US-led multinational coalition that
is reportedly preparing to assist in repelling the
expected Iranian attack have preemptively
warned Israel not to respond too strongly to such
an assault, according to a Tuesday report by
national broadcaster Kan.
Meanwhile, the United States has been engaged
in intense efforts to deescalate the conflict, with
White House officials telling the Washington Post
that diplomatic efforts to temper Iran’s
retaliation might be working — after the US
rushed its forces to the region and passed along
messages to Iran warning of serious
consequences for the new government of
President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Pezeshkian warned Khamenei of the potential
attack's effects on his presidency, with Iran
International quoting sources familiar with the
development.
Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has
reportedly asked the Islamic Republic's
supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to
refrain from attacking Israel, according to a
report by Iran International on Wednesday.
Pezeshkian warned Khamenei of the potential
attack's effects on his presidency, with Iran
International quoting sources familiar with the
development.
Khamenei 'noncommittal'
The new Iranian president cautioned that an
Israeli retaliatory attack could cripple Iran's
economy, infrastructure, and even lead to the
country's collapse.
Iran International said that sources familiar
with the subject noted that Khamenei
"remained noncommittal" during the session,
"neither supporting nor opposing Pezeshkian's
concerns."

Most people don't understand what gdp by purchasing power parity means. So let me explain.

On 2013, our GDP in Naira terms was #80.3 trillion and at the exchange rate of #157 per USD$ our GDP was $510 billion making us the largest in Africa.

Now our nominal gdp was #234.4 trillion currently and if we still used that exchange rate of 2014 which is #157 =USD$1 then our GDP PPP or 2014 standard will be $1.44 trillion.

BUT that is not the case. Bola Ahmed tinubu floated the Naira and our current exchange rate of #1450 per USD$1 now makes our REAL GDP is now $253 billion.
GDP at purchasing power parity terms really means what we would be by now if we were still using GOODLUCK JONATHAN benchmark and practises

My thought so far.

1). There are 2 .3 million people with phones connected to Internet that can send israel forces the locations of hamas and hostages are located. Knowing fully well that one israel gets their hostages, There is no more reason for Israel to be in GAZA. But they refused to do the right thing, showing they all in sync with Hamas.


2). The hostages are with people inside their houses and when they are killed they Become INNOCENT CIVILIANS. There is something called accessory to a crime which means
*person who becomes equally guilty in the crime of another by knowingly and voluntarily aiding the criminal before or after the crime*. They are guilty as crazy.


3). Every country demanding Israel agree to a ceasefire are NEVER going to accept the situation if it was them. NEVER.

4). The fact Palestinians are ready to Bury their whole family and their children than to protest in their country for Hamas to stop SHOW the depth of Hatred in their heart. Ugandan used the opportunity of Namibian -Uganda war to free themselves from Idi-Amin. Palestinians can do that from Hamas.

5). The Arab world are mad they can insist on yahya sinwar to think of the 2. 3 million people in gaza and walk away. Israel have promised him safe passage out of Gaza for him, his family and his followers BUT NO they actually want them to die in their country and the foolish Palestinians are going their country.


6). Since no ARAB country in the world want to fight israel on this war and NO one wants to harbour Them. Palestinians should use their brains and beg for peace. So far nothing not china, russia, iran and united nations. There did not gain SHI SHI.

Daylight mission to surprise captors; special
forces concurrently raid two buildings where
hostages held by Palestinian families; rescue
vehicle breaks down after coming under fire

The Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet security
agency and Israel Police on Saturday morning
carried out one of the most daring, complex,
high-risk yet successful operations amid the war
against Hamas, rescuing four hostages alive from
the terror group’s captivity in the Gaza Strip. The
mission was conducted in broad daylight and in
an area where Israeli forces had not previously
operated.
The operation to rescue Noa Argamani, 26, Almog
Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv,
41 was planned out weeks in advance, according
to information seen by The Times of Israel.
Known originally as “Seeds of Summer,” its name
was changed after the event to “Operation
Arnon” after Yamam officer Chief Inspector
Arnon Zamora, who was critically wounded by
Hamas fire amid the rescue of three of the
hostages and later died of his wounds.
During the planning period, intelligence on the
hostages’ locations was obtained and studied.
Amid the war, Hamas has repeatedly moved
hostages around Gaza, in an attempt to prevent
Israeli rescue operations.
In the days leading up to the rescue, the police’s
elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit drilled
various models of the extraction from central
Gaza’s Nuseirat, which military officials said
were “similar to the Entebbe raid” of 1976, when
Israeli commandos rescued more than 100
hostages in Uganda.
Also in the days before the mission, the military
launched a new operation in eastern Bureij — to
the east of Nuseirat — and in east Deir al-Balah
— to the southeast of where the hostages were
rescued — in an apparent feint to reduce
Hamas’s defenses in Nuseirat.


And according to a diplomatic source, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense
Minister Yoav Gallant approved the operation on
Thursday evening when a war cabinet and
security cabinet meeting was canceled.
Simultaneous attacks
Ultimately, the raid was carried out Saturday
morning, after the Shin Bet recommended it
would be an optimal time to surprise the Hamas
terrorists holding the four hostages captive.
Previous hostage rescue operations in Gaza have
taken place overnight.

At 11:00 a.m. the order was given to the Yamam
and Shin Bet officers to raid two multi-story
buildings in Nuseirat, where Hamas was holding
the hostages.

Nuseirat is one of the few areas of Gaza where
ground troops have not yet entered during the
IDF’s ground offensive against the Hamas terror
group.
The buildings were about 200 meters apart, and
the decision to go for both simultaneously was
due to the possibility that Hamas may murder the
hostages after identifying the rescue operation at
the other location.
Argamani was held by Hamas guards alone in
the home of a Palestinian family, while the other
three hostages were held at a separate home, also
with guards. According to the IDF, Hamas pays
such families to hold the hostages in their houses.
(Meir Jan said on his release that he, Kozlov and
Ziv were held together throughout their eight
months in captivity, in a total of four homes,
Channel 12 reported on Saturday night.)
Argamani’s rescue was described by military
officials as relatively smooth considering the
circumstances. But a major gun battle erupted at
the home where Meir Jan, Kozlov, and Ziv were
held.
Zamora, the commander of the rescue team at
the second building, where the three hostages
were being held, was critically wounded by
Hamas fire and later died of his wounds. The
Hamas guards were killed in the exchange.
Under fire, and stuck
A short while later, as the three hostages and
Zamora were being extracted from Nuseirat, their
vehicle came under fire, causing it to get stuck in
Gaza. Other forces quickly reached the scene to
rescue them, bringing them to a makeshift
helipad in Gaza, from where they were airlifted
to Tel Hashomer Hospital in central Israel.

Noa was similarly taken by helicopter to the
hospital, shortly before the other three were
extracted from Gaza.
According to the IDF, the rescue forces faced a
massive amount of gunfire and RPG fire in
Nuseirat, leading the ground troops and the
Israeli Air Force to carry out major strikes in the
area.
The strikes, targeting the areas from where
Hamas operatives were opening fire, were aimed
at protecting the rescue forces and the hostages.
Hamas’s government media office said at least
210 people were killed amid the operation.
The IDF acknowledged that it killed Palestinian
civilians amid the fighting, but it placed the
blame on Hamas for holding hostages and
fighting in a dense civilian environment.
“We know about under 100 [Palestinian]
casualties. I don’t know how many of them are
terrorists,” IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel
Hagari said in a briefing with journalists,
reported by Reuters.


Hamas operatives also fired anti-aircraft missiles
at Israeli helicopters over the area amid the
operation, without managing to score any hits.
Aside from Zamora, several more troops were
slightly hurt by shrapnel amid the operation.


Third rescue in 8 months
Military officials said the mission was a “hair’s
breadth” between success and failure.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and Shin
Bet head Ronen Bar commanded the operation
together. Netanyahu and Gallant also observed
the mission from inside the war room.
Halevi and the commander of Yamam later
agreed to change the name of the rescue mission
to “Operation Arnon,” in honor of the slain
officer.

It was only the third such successful operation in
the 246 days since the Hamas-led attack in which
the hostages were taken, after female soldier Ori
Megidish was rescued in late October and
Fernando Marman, 61, and Louis Har, 70 , were
rescued from southern Gaza’s Rafah in February.
At least one more hostage rescue was attempted
in December, but ended in failure, with the
hostage being killed and his body remaining in
Hamas captivity.
All of the hostages rescued by the IDF from Gaza,
including the four on Saturday, were saved from
buildings and not from Hamas’s vast network of
tunnels.
Many other rescue operations have been
planned, extensively in some cases, but were
ultimately deemed too dangerous or otherwise
impossible to carry out.
Argamani, Meir Jan, Kozlov and Ziv, who had
been in Hamas captivity for eight months, were
all in good condition, according to initial medical
assessments.
The four had been abducted from the Supernova
music festival near the community of Re’im on
the morning of October 7, when some 3,000
Hamas-led terrorists killed 1,200 people and took
251 hostages in a murderous rampage in
southern Israel.

Hamas own counter deal that they say they agreed to for cease fire


Al Jazeera has obtained a copy of the Gaza
ceasefire proposal that Hamas said it
accepted on Monday. The deal, which was
put forward by Egypt and Qatar, would
come in three stages that would see an
initial halt in the fighting leading to lasting
calm and the withdrawal of Israeli troops
from the Palestinian territory.
The proposed agreement would also
ensure the release of Israeli captives in
Gaza as well as an unspecified number of
Palestinians held in Israeli jails.

Israel has said that it does not agree to the
proposal but that it will engage in further
talks to secure an agreement – all while
pushing on with its assault on Gaza.
Meanwhile, the United States, which is
also involved in the negotiations, said it is
reviewing the Hamas response.
Here’s the text of the proposed deal:
Paper by the mediators in Egypt on May 5,
2024
The basic principles for an agreement
between the Israeli side and the
Palestinian side in Gaza on the exchange
of captives and prisoners between them
and the return of sustainable calm.
The framework agreement aims at: The
release of all Israeli captives in the Gaza
Strip, civilians or military, alive or
otherwise, from all periods, in exchange
for a number of prisoners held by Israel
as agreed upon, and a return to a
sustainable calm that leads to a
permanent ceasefire and a withdrawal of
Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, its
reconstruction and the lifting of the siege.
The framework agreement consists of
three related and interconnected stages,
which are as follows:
The first stage (42 days)
[Herein] a temporary cessation of military
operations between the two parties, and
the withdrawal of Israeli forces eastward
and away from densely populated areas to
a defined area along the border all along
the Gaza Strip (including Wadi Gaza,
known as the Netzarim Corridor, and
Kuwait Roundabout, as below).
All aviation (military and reconnaissance)
in the Gaza Strip shall cease for 10 hours a
day, and for 12 hours on the days when
captives and prisoners are being
exchanged.
Internally displaced people in Gaza shall
return to their areas of residence and
Israel shall withdraw from Wadi Gaza, the
Netzarim corridor, and the Kuwait
Roundabout:
On the third day (after the release of
three captives), Israeli forces are to
withdraw completely from al-Rashid
Street in the east to Salah al-Din Street,
and dismantle military sites and
installations in this area.
Displaced persons (unarmed) shall
return to their areas of residence and
all residents of Gaza shall be allowed
freedom of movement in all parts of the
Strip.
Humanitarian aid shall be allowed in
via al-Rashid Street from the first day
without any obstacles.
On the 22nd day (after the release of
half the living civilian captives in Gaza,
including female soldiers), Israeli forces
are to withdraw from the centre of the
Gaza Strip (especially the Netzarim/
Martyrs Corridor and the Kuwait
Roundabout axis), from the east of
Salah al-Din Street to a zone along the
border, and all military sites and
installations are to be completely
dismantled.
Displaced people shall be allowed to
return to their places of residence in
the north of Gaza, and all residents to
have freedom of movement in all parts
of the Gaza Strip.
Humanitarian aid, relief materials and
fuel (600 trucks a day, including 50 fuel
trucks, and 300 trucks for the north)
shall be allowed into Gaza in an
intensive manner and in sufficient
quantities from the first day. This is to
include the fuel needed to operate the
power station, restart trade,
rehabilitate and operate hospitals,
health centres and bakeries in all parts
of the Gaza Strip, and operate
equipment needed to remove rubble.
This shall continue throughout all
stages.
Exchange of captives and prisoners
between the two sides:
During the first phase, Hamas shall release
33 Israeli captives (alive or dead),
including women (civilians and soldiers),
children (under the age of 19 who are not
soldiers), those over the age of 50, and the
sick, in exchange for a number of
prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention
centres, according to the following
[criteria]:
Hamas shall release all living Israeli
captives, including civilian women and
children (under the age of 19 who are
not soldiers). In return, Israel shall
release 30 children and women for
every Israeli detainee released, based
on lists provided by Hamas, in order of
detention.
Hamas shall release all living Israeli
captives (over the age of 50), the sick,
and wounded civilians. In return, Israel
shall release 30 elderly (over 50) and
sick prisoners for every Israeli captive,
based on lists provided by Hamas, in
order of detention.
Hamas shall release all living Israeli
female soldiers. In return, Israel shall
release 50 prisoners (30 serving life
sentences, 20 sentenced) for every
Israeli female soldier, based on lists
provided by Hamas.
Scheduling the exchange of captives and
prisoners between the parties in the first
stage:
Hamas shall release three Israeli
detainees on the third day of the
agreement, after which Hamas shall
release three other detainees every
seven days, starting with women as
much as possible (civilians and female
soldiers). In the sixth week, Hamas
shall release all remaining civilian
detainees included in this phase. In
return, Israel shall release the agreed-
upon number of Palestinian prisoners,
according to lists Hamas will provide.
Hamas will provide information about
the Israeli detainees who will be
released at this stage by the seventh day
(if possible).
On the 22nd day, the Israeli side shall
release all prisoners from the Shalit
deal who have been re-arrested.
If there are fewer than 33 living Israeli
detainees to be released, a number of
bodies from the same categories shall
be released to complete this stage. In
return, Israel will release all women
and children who were arrested from
the Gaza Strip after October 7, 2023 –
provided this is done in the fifth week
of this stage.
The exchange process is linked to the
extent of commitment to the agreement,
including the cessation of military
operations, the withdrawal of Israeli
forces, the return of displaced persons,
as well as the entry of humanitarian
aid.
All necessary legal procedures to
ensure that freed Palestinian prisoners
are not re-arrested on the same charges
are to be completed.
The steps of the first stage above do not
constitute a basis for negotiating the
second stage. Punitive measures and
penalties that were taken against
prisoners and detainees in Israeli
prisons and detention camps after
October 7, 2023, are to be lifted and
their conditions improved, including
individuals who were arrested after
this date.
No later than the 16th day of the first
phase, indirect talks will begin between
the parties to agree on the details of the
second phase of this agreement, with
regard to the exchange of prisoners and
captives from both parties (soldiers and
remaining men), provided that they are
completed and agreed upon before the
end of the fifth week of this stage.
The United Nations and its agencies,
including UNRWA , and other
international organisations, are to
continue providing humanitarian services
across the Gaza Strip. This shall continue
throughout all stages of the agreement.
Infrastructure (electricity, water, sewage,
communications and roads) across the
Gaza Strip shall be rehabilitated, and the
equipment needed for civil defence
allowed into Gaza to clear rubble and
debris. This shall continue throughout all
stages of the agreement.
All necessary supplies and equipment to
shelter displaced people who lost their
homes during the war (a minimum of
60,000 temporary homes – caravans – and
200,000 tents) shall be allowed into Gaza.
Throughout this phase, an agreed-upon
number (not fewer than 50) of wounded
military personnel will be allowed to
travel through the Rafah crossing to
receive medical treatment, and an
increased number of travellers, sick and
wounded, shall be allowed to leave
through the Rafah crossing as restrictions
on travellers are lifted. The movement of

Lebanese report: Israel’s offer
would see partial IDF pullback
in 1st phase of deal
Egyptian mediators said to convey terms to
Hamas: 33 hostages to be released in initial 40-
day phase; all hostages ultimately to be freed,
with provisions for sustained calm in Gaza


The report by Lebanese outlet Al-Akhbar, the
latest news organization to claim to offer details
on the proposal, came after Egyptian mediators
conveyed the text of Israel’s offer to a Hamas
delegation in Cairo on Tuesday.
According to Al-Akhbar, the first stage of the deal
presented to Hamas would last 40 days, and
would include a staged withdrawal of Israeli
troops from parts of the Strip to allow the
movement of humanitarian aid and the return of
civilians to their homes.
The deal would provide for 500 trucks, including
50 fuel trucks, to enter the Gaza Strip each day,
and would include the delivery of supplies
designed to rehabilitate the Strip. Half of the
trucks each day would be earmarked for northern
Gaza, which has been largely cut off from the aid
entering via the south of the enclave since the
start of Israel’s ground operation.
At the same time, Israel would cease aerial
surveillance of the Strip for eight hours a day, or
10 hours on days hostages are released.


In return, Hamas would be required to release at
least 33 living captives — female civilians and
soldiers, children under the age of 19, the elderly,
the sick and the wounded. On day seven of the
deal, Hamas would provide the names of all
other living hostages beyond the 33.
Previous offers rejected by Hamas had included
the demand for 40 hostages to be released under
the same criteria, but this number was lowered
to 33 during the most recent round of
negotiations after Israel reportedly assessed that
some of the previously sought 40 hostages had
died in Hamas captivity.

For every female civilian and child released
during this phase of the deal, Israel would free
20 minors and female Palestinian security
prisoners, Al-Akhbar claimed. For every sick,
elderly and injured hostage released, Israel
would free 20 prisoners over 50 who are also sick
and injured, as long as they are not serving a
sentence of over 10 years.

Finally, for every female soldier released during
the first phase of the deal, Israel would free 20
Palestinian security prisoners serving a life
sentence, and another 20 serving 10 years at
most. The prisoners would be released either to
Gaza or abroad.
Should Hamas agree to the offer, it will be
allowed to provide a list of up to 20 security
prisoners that it wants Israel to release during
the first 40-day phase of the deal, although Israel
will retain a veto.
According to the report, Hamas would release
three captive women on the first day that the
agreement comes into effect, and then release
three more hostages every three days, until the
33rd day, with Israel releasing the corresponding
ratio of Palestinian security prisoners at the same
time.
On the 34th day of the deal, Hamas would be
required to provide a list of all remaining
hostages who fit the criteria for release.
The initial 40-day truce could then be extended,
with the agreement of both parties, in exchange
for the release of additional hostages.
A similar plan was implemented during a truce
in late November — the only one of the war —
which had originally only been expected to last
for four days but was extended to seven, bringing
about the release of 105 hostages in total.


As per the reported text of the offer drawn up in
Egypt, indirect negotiations between Israel and
Hamas would begin anew on the 16th day of the
truce, to set out an arrangement to restore
sustainable calm to Gaza over the second and
third stages of the deal.
As such, the exact details of the latter two stages
have yet to be defined and were only broadly
outlined in the Lebanese outlet’s report.
According to the report, the second stage of the
deal would last 42 days and involve completing
the agreed-upon arrangements for sustainable
calm. In exchange, Hamas would be required to
release the remaining Israeli male civilians and
soldiers, in exchange for a yet-to-be-specified
number of Palestinian security prisoners, and the
full withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza.
The third and final stage of the deal would again
last 42 days and Hamas would reportedly be
required to hand over the bodies of those who
were killed on October 7 or died in captivity, in
exchange for bodies of Palestinian security
prisoners who died in Israeli custody.
War erupted on October 7 when thousands of
Hamas-led terrorists burst into southern Israel in
a shock attack, overrunning military posts and
carrying out brutal massacres in multiple Israeli
communities. Some 1,200 people were killed in
the onslaught and 253 people were taken
hostage.
Israel has estimated that 129 of the hostages
seized on October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of
them alive — following the November truce. Four
hostages were released prior to that, and three
were rescued alive by troops. The bodies of 12
hostages have also been recovered, including
three mistakenly killed by the military. The IDF
has also confirmed the deaths of 34 of those still
in captivity.
In addition to the hostages seized on October 7,
Hamas has also been holding the bodies of fallen
IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin since
2014, as well as two Israeli civilians, Avera
Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are both
thought to be alive after entering the Strip of
their own accord in 2014 and 2015 respectively.



With regard to the terror group’s capabilities, the
deal offered via Egypt stipulated that Hamas must
refrain from reconstructing military
infrastructure or facilities in the future, and none
of the equipment or raw material imported for
the rehabilitation of Gaza may be used for
military purposes.

The text does not specify, however, how this
would be enforced.
The rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip would begin
during the first phase of the deal, starting with
the restoration of Gaza’s roads, electricity, water,
sanitation and communication infrastructure.
Preparations for a 5-year reconstruction plan for
Gaza’s homes and civilian infrastructure would
be completed during the second phase of the
deal, and construction would begin in the third
stage.
The Lebanese report largely dovetailed with
previous reports on the details of the possible
deal, including the staged structure of the
agreement and the requirement for talks aimed
at ending the war and allowing Gazan civilians to
return to the north of the country, both key
Hamas demands.
Speaking to the Times of Israel on Tuesday, an
Israeli official said one of the timelines under
discussion is a 10-week pause in fighting in
exchange for 33 living hostages.
Israel was also said to be examining the
possibility that Egypt, not Israel, would be
responsible for carrying out security checks for
Gazans moving back to the north of the Strip.
An Israeli official told The Times of Israel on
Tuesday that Israel was expecting a Hamas
response to its offer by Wednesday evening

That you think this fall happend in under 1 year shows how myopic you and your ilk are

Nominal Gdp in US Dollars is calculated by dividing the figures produced a countries central bank/statistical bureau with the exchange rate of the country currency to US Dollars.

By May 2023, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics said our GDP in Naira was #219. 3 TRILLION. If it was divided with the official rate of #460=$1 that translated to $476.7 Billion. Still making us the largest economy in Africa.

Your foolish, sick and incompetent President decided that the cocaine he is taking makes him see the matrix and he floated the Naira on June 13th, 2023. By the next day, the exchange rate at banks, I & E window, NAFEX etc was #700= $1.
And the economy by Nominal still calculated same #219.3 trillion divided by #700/$1 was now equal to $313.43 BILLION

In 1 day, 14th June 2023, this NATION lost a whooping $163.3 Billion.

We lost the equivalent of the economy of Uganda, Tunisia, Togo, Niger, Burkina Faso & Mali

But Tinubu and his group arrested emefiele and be using it distract 220 million Nigerian from his GENERATIONAL Bleep UP.

Every day Naira is not going back to #700 =$1, the country Loses $400 million.

And some celebrate Naira above #1,000 is a great thing.

For those who SHAMELESSLY DEFEND TINUBU GOVT, Numbers don't lie,
Under 1 year, Nigeria went from number 1 in Africa to number 4.
And this is not the End of this self inflicted catastrophe

Nigeria is projected to slip to the fourth largest
economy in Africa in 2024, behind South Africa,
Egypt, and Algeria, according to IMF forecasts
for April 2024.
Nigeria which has held the title of “Africa’s
largest economy” since the GDP rebasing in
2013 is projected to have a total GDP of $253
billion in 2024, primarily due to the devaluation
of the Naira.
According to IMF forecasts, South Africa will be
Africa’s largest economy with a GDP of $373
billion, followed by Egypt with $348 billion, and
Algeria with $267 billion.
Recall that in 2023, it was projected that South
Africa will overtake Nigeria as the largest
economy in Africa.

Based on IMF’s estimates, Nigeria’s GDP in US
Dollars declined from $477 billion in 2022, to
$375 billion in 2023, it is estimated to drop to
$253 billion in 2024.

However, in the Naira, the
GDP improved from N202.4 trillion in 2022 to
N234.4 trillion in 2023. For 2024, the GDP is
projected to hit N296.4 trillion.
Recommended reading: IMF sees Nigeria’s
inflation dropping to 26.3% this year
What you should know
According to IMF data, Nigeria was the largest
economy in Africa in 2022, however, a
devaluation of the Naira caused Nigeria to drop
to third place in 2023, behind Egypt with a GDP
of $394 billion and South Africa with a GDP of
$378 billion.
In 2024, the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira
and the Egyptian Pounds will see Nigeria and
Egypt’s fortunes decline, with South Africa
taking the reins as Africa’s largest economy.
Since President Bola Tinubu took over as
President in 2023, the official exchange rate of
the Nigerian Naira has plunged by over 55%,
leaving a significant dent in the GDP
computation of the country. Meanwhile, in
Egypt, economic reforms since March 2024
have caused the Egyptian Pounds to decline by
almost 40% in just over a month. In South
Africa, the Rand has devalued by a slim 4% in
2024.
IMF estimates that Nigeria’s GDP will grow by
3.34% in 2024, up from the 2.86% growth rate
posted in 2023. South Africa’s GDP is estimated
to grow by 0.9% in 2024, from 2023’s 0.6%
GDP growth rate.
Egypt’s GDP is projected to grow at 3.0% in
2024, a decline from its 2023’s GDP growth rate
of 3.76.
