After being held as hostages by Hamas in Gaza for 477 days
4 female Israeli soldiers were released from their tunnels
stay
With more hostages still held by Hamas to be released in
phases
From captivity in Gaza’s underground tunnel mazes
The female hostages released passed the dubious distinction
of surpassing the 444 day fate
Of the male hostages held when Iranian students stormed
through our American Embassy in Tehran gates
1 day after signing of the Algiers Accord and minutes after
Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President
In return the U.S. agreed not to intervene in Iranian
political affairs and frozen assets were back to Iran to be sent
The Israeli Hamas cease fire agreement looked similar to the
Tehran release déjà vu signed after Trump swore if hostages not released by his
inauguration day
For Hamas and countries supporting and harboring Hamas terrorists
there would Hell for them to pay
Israel and Hamas agreed to the agreement after earlier
rejecting it and 200 Palestinian terrorists some 120 serving life sentences
were to be exchanged for the 4 females to be released
The hopes that the release and agreement might serve as a
foundation for achieving a lasting Middle East peace
Might be short lived as scenes at the release of the 4 hostages to the Red
Cross
Showed hundreds of heavily armed masked Hamas terrorists
trying to show the world they were still boss
Time will soon tell if some semblance of lasting peace we
will see
But unlike a feeble, weak Biden when a strong vibrant Trump
speaks opposing sides look like they will agree
