Hamas says it does not have 40 Israeli hostages to trade in cease-fire deal
The Hill ^ | 04/10/2024 | LAURA KELLY

Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel, a source familiar with the talks confirmed to The Hill.

The admission raises questions over how many of the remaining hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 129 hostages out of more than 240 abducted that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.

The Biden administration is pushing a plan to have Israel and Hamas agree to a six to eight week cease-fire that is contingent on Hamas releasing hostages, a group that includes older men, civilians and both male and female Israeli soldiers who have been held for 187 days.

If that’s the case, and the hostages are all dead, then it’s time to go in and finish the job. God help the innocents who will be caught in the crossfire, but at this point Gaza needs to be leveled and Hamas eliminated.

They had about 123, I’d say maybe a dozen are still alive.

Amazing that Biden doesn’t care about the Americans.

Dead Americans with dead Israeli hostages and not a thing said about it by Obama’s Biden puppet. Not a thing said about it by the media thus far. Hamas controlled Palestinian protestors storm senate cafeteria and not a thing done about that either. Palestinians chant death to America and death to Israel in Michigan and not a thing done about it either. We have enemy combatants among us attacking citizens, churches and synagogues-nothing done about that either.
Remember the church attack in Texas? That was a terrorist attack too. Now terrorists have said they will attack more. Nothing done about it.
America is going down unless something is done to change this.

The brutality and murders of Hamas cannot be a focus, it would hurt the pro-hamas progressives in America, so mums the word.

Maybe they’re telling the truth and they already killed them all.

Better use of the land than letting Hamas stay there.

Doubtless they expired after being passed around as “comfort people,” after which they may have endured adrenochrome harvesting.

They don’t dare the the bodies be returned to the IDF, lest the torture to the bodies be documented outside the HAMAS enclave.

The Israelis will eliminate Hamas when they think it’s the right moment. Right now there’s too much pressure from the US and others, but they are waiting: eliminating Hamas from Gaza is not just Netanyahu’s position but the whole government. If it becomes clear the remaining hostages are dead, there will be less pressure for the Israelis to wait.

And the clown at 1500 Pennsylvania Ave demands Israel declare a UNILATERAL cease fire.

“What I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country...”

Hamas leadership is in Lebanon. The “Hamas” you see in Gaza
is a facade, a foil.
