Hamas says it will release all civilian hostages in an hour if Israeli bombing stops
NBC News ^ | Oct. 17, 2023, 1:23 PM CDT | Richard Engel and Natalie Kainz

Posted on 10/17/2023 11:34:12 AM PDT by Red Badger

A senior Hamas official told NBC News' Richard Engel that the group is willing to immediately release all civilian hostages — foreign and Israeli — if Israel stops its airstrikes on Gaza.

The Hamas official said the hostages could be released within the hour as long as Israel meets its terms. He claimed that there is no safe place to release the hostages now.

In exchange for the release of Israeli soldiers held hostage, the Hamas official said Israel must release all Palestinians held in Israeli jails.

The Hamas official also claimed that the U.S. and Israel are already aware of its terms for the release of civilian hostages, because the militant group revealed them in its conversations with the leaders of several Arab countries.

Fine. Suspend bombing for one hour. Hamas release all hostages immediately at the border. No terms. Just do it.

No way! The Hammies want to fight. Give them a fight. I’m waiting for all the student loan deadbeats here to put their ass where their big mouth is and go to Gaza to fight for the Hammies!

Israel would be foolish to take this crap deal. Israel should flatten anything of value in Gaza.

Why does this remind me of Lucy promising she’ll hold the football so Charlie Brown can kick it?

The inevtviable result is Charlie Brown on his ass.

Sounds like they want a straight up fight. I’m sure Israel would like that.

So the net result is they get rewarded for taking hostages by getting their fellow terrorists freed? They can go to hell.

Israel needs to pick up the pace of the bombing.

Otherwise known as a “kidnap victim” and “human shield”.

Also known as a war crime.

Only with surrender of the captors for prosecution. Then renew bombing.

I'm wondering how long it's going to take to remove all the rubble and take down all the standing destroyed buildings.

Then what do they do with the debris before they start rebuilding the city?

I’m of the opinion that the hostages are already dead. This deal smells.
