Does anyone really believed that Hamas will release their hostages who have most likely been abused, raped, tortured, and killed? It’s a ruse and some kind of game plan. Maybe its a coordinated plan with Hezbolla?

If that deal is accepted it will drag on for months.
Hamas will release a hostage here, a hostage there..., in a drip drip fashion. Earning a lot of time to regroup their forces.

Its excellent for their propaganda machine.
Because if Israel doesn’t stop its bombardement after that sneaky announcement, Israel would look bad in the media.

That’s what Hamas want.

Latin Patriach in Jerusalem, Pop Francis' rep, offers himself to Hamas in exchange for Israeli children held hostage.

And,Hamas will capture OTHER hostages, as soon as bombing resumes. Bomb them back into the stone age, as they’re scared sh!tless, obviously.

Good, suspend bombing, get the hostages out, then go in and kill Hamas. Simple.

Because it is. A promise from a fanatic is worthless. Or an abusive husband, Honey I’ll never beat you again, I love you too much. Days later, drunk again, he rapes, beats, stabs, or shoots her to death.

I’m not sure Hamas knows how many hostages they have. And that makes sense from a terrorist point of view. If the IDF takes a Hamas fighter or collaborator prisoner, there would be less chance of a squealer giving up useful info.

Give them their prisoners in a location that can be immediately bombed once the exchange is completed

China needs this material to increase the size of their islands in the Pacific.

Right - because Hamas is known for being honorable and trustworthy.

They don’t value their own people’s lives.

Except for that, it was an idea.

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

Did the release happen?

It’s been over an hour.

“Stop the bombing and we’ll release the hostages.”

Once the bombing stops, Hamas will say, “We’ll release the hostages after these further concessions:”

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


I like that idea

As long as Israel is killing Hamas members, it is doing the right thing.

I call BS.

And likely they’ll be releasing bodies of dead hostages.

Of those tortured within an inch of their lives.

“official said Israel must release all Palestinians held in Israeli jails.”

This is the kicker. There are more of them, all dangerous, than there are of the hostages

Having lived 7 years in the Middle East, I know how they negotiate. They offer you a deal and just as you are ready to implement it, they change the terms. They are testing you to see how badly you want the deal. Unless you are prepared to walk away, you lose. It is the way they operate in the souk.
