3. Each Freed Terrorists Statistically Represents a Probable Act of Terror!

Extract:
This is not speculation. This is a calculated reality based on historical precedent, - a grim truth the defense establishment avoids confronting. So, we took it upon ourselves to compile the data:
1985, Jibril Deal: 1,150 terrorists released; 164 Israelis murdered during the First Intifada.
1990s, Oslo Period: 9,200 terrorists released; over 1,000 Israelis murdered during the Second Intifada.
2004, Tannenbaum Deal: 450 terrorists released; over 40 Israelis murdered.
2011, Shalit Deal: 1,027 terrorists released, including Sinwar and Ali Al Qadi (commander of the Nuhba). Result: 1,160 Israelis murdered on October 7, 2023, and an additional 400 combat soldiers killed later.

The grim total: 12,000 terrorists released by previous governments resulted in the deaths of approximately 2,750 Israelis.

The numbers do not lie. Using the same ratio, releasing the 1,650 terrorists currently under discussion can be expected to lead to the deaths of another 380 Israelis.

And it doesn't end there. According to a Makor Rishon report, 80% of released terrorists return to terrorism, even if not all succeed in killing more Israelis.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is facing a diplomatic backlash after it recently uploaded an Arabic language map of the biblical kingdoms of Israel and Judea, which included the territory east of the Jordan River that is currently part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
The map of biblical Israel was posted online with the initial sentence, -"Did you know that the Kingdom of Israel was established 3,000 years ago?"- It also noted the division of the ancient Hebrew kingdom into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judea and their eventual destruction by the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.
"However, the Jewish people in the diaspora continued to look forward to the revival of their powers and capabilities and the rebuilding of their state, which was declared in the State of Israel in 1948 to become the only democracy in the Middle East,"- concluded the post published by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

US President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is considering the temporary relocation of some of the two million residents of the Gaza Strip while the coastal enclave undergoes reconstruction following the war Hamas started against Israel, NBC News reported.

According to the report, a source in the incoming Trump administration said that among the countries being considered for temporary relocation is Indonesia.

Throughout the ceasefire, Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to remain in the region "almost permanently" to ensure that the ceasefire is observed by all parties.

It was also reported that Witkoff is considering a visit inside the Gaza Strip.
