20. By agreeing to only the things they've always agreed to. So much for Trump's red line.

Earlier Friday, Trump had said if Hamas hasn’t agreed to the proposal by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, “all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out.”

Well, Hamas hasn't agreed to the proposal. There is no peace agreement.

We got nothing new. Hamas has always agreed to these parts of our proposals, i.e., releasing the hostages if certain conditions are met. Hamas rejected the parts it always rejects. It refused to disarm/surrender and refused to give up a governing role in Gaza, both key requirements of Netanyahu.

And, Hamas has previously agreed to release the hostages as part of a ceasefire agreement, yet gone back on its word. So any conditional promise by Hamas to release hostages isn't worth much.

Trump is being played by Hamas (they got him to back off his Sunday deadline to accept the deal, with no new deadline) and Netanyahu (who continues to get full monentary & weapons support while clearing out Palestinians from Gaza City). And the MSM is being played by Trump. The MSM continues to be Trump's propaganda stenographer.
