..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...has agreed to a cease-fire proposal calling for the terror group to free more than half of the remaining hostages in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

, including 10 living captives, in exchange for a 60-day truce, Egyptian mediators said.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim confirmed the group's approval of the proposal on Tuesday, which is nearly identical to the one put forward by Washington earlier this year.
The deal would see 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 others released in waves through the 60-day cease-fire, similar to the other exchanges that have taken place throughout the war.
Israeli officials say Hamas continues to hold 50 hostages after 683 days in captivity, only 20 of whom are believed to still be alive. Israeli-Americans Itay Chen, 19, and Omer Neutra, 22, are among the dead.
In exchange for the living hostages, Israel would agree to free 150 Paleostinian prisoners serving life sentences, as well as 50 others who were sentenced to more than 15 years in jail.
Israel would also return the bodies of 10 Paleostinian snuffies for each dead hostage, according to the terms of the deal.
The cease-fire deal also calls for more aid to flow into the Gaza Strip through the involvement of the United Nations
