Assume all hostages are dead and proceed accordingly.
What will Hamas do during that time?
Hard to say whether this is good or bad because we don’t know how many Hamas are left and exactly how much damage has been inflicted on Hamas. But I suspect Israel knows this and they have now had weeks to root them out.
Sounds like it.
On the contrary...
Yours is the wisest question asked on his threat so far.
That’s about right. Hamas also wanted a certain amount of time each day with no Israeli drones overhead. I think they need time to move things around without Israel seeing. Israel said NO. The tunnel system must be severely compromised if they are worried about eyes above.
Islam’s proxy can then re-organize, re-arm.
50 for 300??? Now the question is... Will there be 50 hostages still alive?... Most are likely dead already.
The United Nations is already waiting with their ‘humanitarian’ supplies like rocket launchers and anti-tank mortars hidden in trucks with Red Cross symbols on them. This ‘pause’ can help only one group... HAMAS.
All of these soon to be ‘released’ hostages will likely have loved ones still in captivity, so that they will keep their traps shut about the deplorable conditions and tell the media how awesome their captors were to them.
We’ll all be paying the cost of this mistake. Not just Israelis, but us, too.
LUNATICS!
Israel really has no choice buteg to make a deal. It is awful the choices she faces, but the World is the way it is. The World is against Israel and the Biden Regime is too.
And Hamas is the government of Gaza. Governments don't drag hostages out of their homes, and back across the "border". They are not a "government". I hope Israel hunts down and kills every identifiable terrorist from 10/7, along with the Elite of Hamas. I may need to watch MUNICH again.
Hamas is already starting to state that one hostage a 77 yr old died she needed medication so just wait they will start saying that more and more just died
Release them, track them, then kill them as soon as the ceasefire is over.
Just enough time for Hamas to booby trap the area so idf soldiers step on them and get blown up
Nothing. Congress is petty inept at getting things done. No bill for Israel. They are on their own.
They will never be allowed to start the action again if they stop it.
Biden Admin will hold them by the short hairs for ammunition and weapons. They do the deal with Satan…and Satan will have them captured. And make no mistake, this United States government IS Satan.
Israel gives: four days for Hamas to regroup and find new hidey holes in a much decreased battlefield and a few hundred (maybe even a few thousand) low level criminals who were doing nothing in Israeli jails other than gaining street cred and becoming more militant.
Israel gets: 50 hostages back alive who otherwise had an uncertain chance at surviving their captivity, four days of rest for their troops who have been conducting house-to-house urban and tunnel warfare for a month straight, and four more days for their intel services to process the pocket litter and leads so they can rebuild their target decks.
Israel also gets to do this after capturing hospital sites in Gaza City that were previously untouchable by Israeli bombs.
Israel's military is not built for sustained siege warfare, and Hamas' isn't built for actual warfare. Both sides gain something, but Hamas doesn't gain nearly as much and often a pause in conflict allows the losing side a chance to think real hard about how badly it wants to keep losing.
