“Anyone well familiar with the history of the conflict” doesn’t describe the vast majority of opinions I’ve found on the internet so I felt it was important to clarify since the headline is misleading at best.
Secondly, I think the calculus has changed. Netanyahu used to have no problem propping up Hamas. So, sure, trade Yahya Sinwar and a thousand other prisoners for Gilad Shalit. In Netanyahu’s mind, that will only help destabilize the PA and allow him to keep building settlements in the West Bank. That strategy came home to roost on October 7.
Thank you for the further clarification. I’ll need to learn more about the current situation. I was aware of the cash he was giving to HAMAS, but I do not know enough about the interior affairs of domestic Palestinian politics to understand the deeper ramifications of these moves.

No worries, have a good day.
