The Hostage Rescue Operation conducted early this morning will have far-reaching unintended consequences.
Many are ecstatic right now about this first "success" after nearly 9 months, but there will be some hard realities and questions to answer come Monday:

1) The hostage families were gaining political traction calling for a ceasefire. Now their voice will be suppressed.
The Israeli establishment only cares about symbolic victories and will never admit that now they recovered 4 hostages, they’ll never get the opportunity again

Hamas will change its tactics and procedures to ensure this will never happen again.
2) How do you claim that a rescue operation that killed 100s of civilians in order to save 4 people, a success?
This disregard for Palestinian life continues to damage Israel's reputation.

3) They will have to answer for the atrocity propaganda about hostages being raped. That’s clearly not true. Period. Don't bother arguing it.
There will be hard questions to answer come Monday. The lies about SA have been used to justify monstrous violence.

4) The U.S Administration has completely lost it. Biden makes a grand speech about a ceasefire/hostage deal, sends Blinken down to the region to broker this deal and makes grand statements that the U.S will put this proposal forward to the UNSC -
THEN they conduct a joint operation with Israel, a country that is currently in trial for genocide, in order to rescue four hostages, whilst jointly killing hundreds of innocent civilians.
What are they thinking? This is the worst kind of ham-fisted foreign policy.

5) The 4 hostages will not change the facts on the ground nor diminish Hamas's leverage.
The only thing the U.S has accomplished here is to isolate itself further, be complicit in war crimes and render themselves unfit to lead any negotiations between the two parties involved.
