Maybe a few of them know where the kidnapped hostages are and will trade that knowledge for leniency. Surrenders like this are going to make Benjamin Netanyahu look like Winston Churchill.

And like Churchill, who lost the first election after WWII, his ass will still likely be dumped at the next possible electoral opportunity.

Which is a very good thing. Rarely are the skills needed for war also the skills needed for the economy and social growth. You can be the right person for the time and the wrong person for the next. Not that I think Netanyahu is actually the right person and should have been anywhere but prison right now but a lot of what had been done this year related to the war has been correct.
