A pious doctor.

"Us President-elect Donald Trump said...there would be 'hell to pay' in the Middle East if hostages held in the Gaza strip were not released prior to his Jan 20 inauguration." "Around half of the 101 foreign and Israeli hostages are believed to be alive." "Hamas has called for an end to the war and total Israeli withdrawal from Gaza as part of any deal to release remaining hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the war will go on until Hamas is eradicated and poses no more threat to Israel." Reuters. It is not clear if Netanyahu is following the controversial Hannibal Directive which authorises the prevention of taking hostages even at the cost of harming Israelis. wikipedia. He has certainly put himself at risk because the judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued ridiculous and highly biased arrest warrants against Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and only one Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, who is dead anyway. BBC. The label 'Kangaroo Court' (wikipedia) would be too respectable for this bunch of shysters. Why? "The Aljamal family was widely respected in Gaza's Nuselrat camp. They were known as pious and prominent members of the community." How pious? "When Israeli forces stormed the Aljamals' building on June 8 they found Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shloml Ziv, hostages who had been captured from the Nova music festival on October 7, cowering in a darkened room." "Dr Aljamal, 74, was a general practitioner and also led the call to prayer at the local mosque." CNN. A physician indulging in torture, a pious man whose god blesses his butchery. There are 18 full time judges at the ICC (wikipedia), no doubt with enormous salaries and luxurious perks. Many of these judges are from countries where denial of the Holocaust is a crime (wikipedia). Would they have issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu for killing Josef Mengele who also had a medical degree (wikipedia)? Hamas is using ordinary Palestinians as human shields and cannon fodder (wikipedia) without their knowledge or consent. Meanwhile, "A ceasefire deal to end 13 months of conflict between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has taken effect." Both sides have 60 days to withdraw from southern Lebanon allowing the Lebanese army to take over. BBC. The Hezbollah has been devastated. "Many of its leaders have been killed, including long-time Chief Hassan Nasrallah, while its infrastructure has been extensively damaged." "The group has been severely weakened, some would say humiliated, but it has not been destroyed." BBC. Without Hezbollah support, and with Trump's help, Israel may be able to take out most of the Hamas leadership. Will it be wiped out? No chance of that? Despite concerted efforts, have the Western countries been able to wipe out the Mafia, drug suppliers or, more recently, people smugglers? Crime is highly profitable and an irresistible magnet for all kinds of psychos, lowlife and losers. They will return. Till then Israel may enjoy some peace. We hope so.
