I wonder if this was some concession by Hamas as part of the negotiations

You got me. I was trying to bait you into saying that ethnic cleansing is obviously a bad thing and we should apply a consistent standard to avoid dehumanizing rhetoric.
There's a fine line between disrespecting a fallible opinion and disrespecting the person. In writing, it's easy to cross that line. It's ok to disagree with people, but it's important to sometimes take the step back and remember that the person is larger than any singular decision. There's likely context you're missing that lead them to that decision.
The biggest thing to remember is that more likely than not, if you really and truly fuck up your job, chances are the worst you do is create extra work for your team. They probably won't even be in danger of losing their jobs if you truly screw up. It's not likely that people will die. The blast radius of most software engineering jobs is incredibly small.
I'll spell it out for you explicitly. The PA cannot govern in Gaza because all their personnel there have been dead since 2007. There are more barriers to the PA taking back governance in Gaza, and that should be plain as day. Yet here we are, with you making immature accusations of moving goalposts.
He benefits from it, sure. But saying he's solely responsible is just false.
Good luck with it!
It is "fun", and there are lessons that Ruby has that should be taken elsewhere, like the principle of least surprise. The most important one is MINASWAN: Matz is nice and so we are nice.
Matz described Ruby as Lisp with C semantics, and Perl convenience.
There's a reason the CLI flags can put it in "perl mode"
11 years after Hamas took over Gaza, and as part of a ceasefire deal brokered by Qatar.
It serves his purposes, but again, was done long after Hamas took over Gaza.
Hamas fought and killed the PLO in Gaza back in 2007.
Are you trying to say that Netanyahu was involved in that, or merely that he benefitted from it?
I have to say that this is the most color I've seen in months on the actual reasons why. On first read, it gives an understanding that both sides are willing to approach a deal - but lack trust in the process and the mediators ability to coerce the other side to actually commit and follow through.
A more cynical read (my second one) through this is that Hamas is still viewing civilian hostages as an asset and leverage. They are hesitant to get a six week ceasefire because they think they should get more than that for civilian hostages. Recent reports are making it clear that Hamas is executing the hostages. Whether as part of their negotiations, a breakdown in discipline, or just simple evil - the mediators have failed to impress upon Hamas the depth of their strategic mistake.
