You can count on the rest of the hostages not coming home alive in that case. If Hamas believes a ceasefire can’t be achieved, and the Israeli occupation/expanding settlements will continue, the hostages have no value. And there will never be peace in the region.
The Israelis have been occupying and bombing Gaza for decades. All with the support of the United States and European allies. At this point, with no hope of a ceasefire or return of occupied territory, there’s no point to negotiating a settlement or returning hostages. From Netanyahu’s perspective, facing criminal trial and mass protests, it doesn’t serve his political interest to negotiate anyway.
What arrangement do you believe will bring peace to the region?
Gaza had complete autonomy without any occupation or bombing by Israel for years prior to October 7, 2023. What changed?
why do you insist on telling this lie over and over again? The Israelis left Gaza more than a decade ago. If Hamas would stop firing Rockets into Israel from it, Israel would never go into it again.
There are no Israeli settlements in Gaza, continuing to lie about it won’t change that fact. It will display your utter ignorance of any facts about the area though.
Netanyahu to resign and face trial for bribery like the thug he is. Return of the occupied territory, long since ruled illegal under international law. Return of all hostages/prisoners on both sides.
Relentless Israeli settlement and encroachment of the West Bank.
Because it’s not a lie. Israel has been allowed, via armaments and support from the west, to bomb sovereign nations for many years. Iran, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, et al. I’m not sure why Israel has so many conservative lapdogs…it’s existence is only due to a planned land grab by the UK and UN after WWII. Could it be due to AIPAC and the bribery…errr…lobbying/campaign contributions to politicians elected to represent ordinary Americans?
The same reason HAMAS and the Islamists have so many Progressive lap dogs.
which has absolutely nothing to do with Gaza
LOL… Bribery? For a box of Cigars. There is no occupied territory, there is no state of palestine, never has been. ■■■■ Hamas, they should all die. The Palestinians will be better off without them.
First off, you are deluded if you think that that would bring peace. “From the river to the sea” is a call for the extermination of Israel. Those murderous bastards won’t ever quit trying.
The only occupation of Gazan territory is the invasion forces of the IDF. Before the October 7th attack, Hamas controlled 100% of Gaza. And Israel is not holding hostages, they are holding criminal prisoners. Learn the difference.
Hamas is not fighting for the West Bank. Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, are bitter enemies.
