Former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton: Hamas Achieved a Significant Victory over Zionist Entity

ALGIERS- Former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton, in an article titled “Hamas has just won a major victory over Israel” in the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, stated that the Zionist entity allowed the Hamas movement to score a major victory by agreeing to a prisoner exchange deal and a humanitarian ceasefire.
Bolton wrote: “While freeing Hamas’s October 7 victims is laudable, there are right and wrong ways to do so. There are costs as well as benefits. Here, Hamas has won a significant victory. Whether the deal sets a definitively negative precedent for Israel remains unclear, but it casts doubt on whether it will attain its legitimate goal of eliminating Hamas’s terrorist threat.”
According to Bolton, “…If Hamas chooses to release more hostages, the pause will be extended one day for each ten hostages. What conceivable justification is there to allow your enemy to unilaterally determine the length of the pause? And what if “technical difficulties” mean only six hostages are released; does Hamas still get another day of respite? Israel will unfairly bear the onus of resuming hostilities, adding leverage to Hamas propaganda efforts to erase its own October 7 barbarity.”
The temporary humanitarian ceasefire between Palestinian factions and the Zionist occupation in Gaza began on Friday at 07:00 local time (05:00 GMT) after 49 days of the aggression on the Gaza Strip.
