Terms of Hostage Deal

Peloni:  This is a useful graphic, but it fails to note that there are many aspects of the deal which are yet to be clarified, over which negotiations will be ongoing as the deal unfolds, which will be used by Hamas to prevent a return of hostilities while they stall out negotiations.  Per the Biden camp, so long as negotiations are ongoing, hostilities will be blocked.  This only incentivizes Hamas to prevaricate and drag out negotiations.  Hence, it remains to be seen to what degree the incoming Trump administration agrees with Biden on this position.  In any event, as has been true since the war began, it will fall to Netanyahu to wield the national chutzpah which characterizes a sovereign nation, and make the decision independently, regardless of what the Trump administration insists upon.

One other issue regarding this deal, the condition of those being released, ie dead or alive, is completely unknonwn, and a comprehensive list of hostages, living or dead, being held by Hamas is still not being provided by Hamas.
