A few facts to keep in mind in the coming weeks regarding this deal:
-
All of the “hostages” are really prisoners of war, everyone currently in Hamas captivity was an active duty IDF soldier captured from military bases in Israel or taken captive while in Gaza as they were committing genocide.
-
Hamas has offered to release all the hostages in exchange for a full ceasefire since October 11, 2023
-
Israel is an illegal genocidal apartheid regime that’s committed to annexing and ethnically cleansing all Palestinian land, and as such will likely try to scuttle this peace deal and blame Hamas.
All of the “hostages” are really prisoners of war, everyone currently in Hamas captivity was an active duty IDF soldier captured from military bases in Israel or taken captive while in Gaza as they were committing genocide.
How do you figure this? Here is an article from just yesterday about Bipin Joshi, a Nepali student abducted by Hamas on Oct 7, 2023.
The Nepali student is very likely dead and buried in an Israeli mass grave or under rubble unfortunately. All of the foreign workers were released in January.
Joshi is confirmed dead. But this AP article lists people taken from the festival and their homes and only names one as an actual soldier. What’s the truth here?
I’m happy someone else came back to this. I’m amazed at how many votes the OP got here while literally just making shit up.
Are people really this blinded to just…basic facts?

It was very clear that Israel didn’t care about the hostages and would have killed them . This is a logicial decision
I’m speechless. They dont have that many choices but this doesnt seem like a great thing. It pretty much ensures a boot will stay on the face of every Palestinian in the region.
They only accepted the part about hostages it is pretty clear that they have no value for Israel. They have this position since the beginning.
Trump will ptobably reject negociation and declare it as a failure and blame Hamas for it
It pretty much ensures a boot will stay on the face of every Palestinian in the region.
Agreed, but the alternative is 6’ of earth on the face of every Palestinian in the region.
It’s a very poor look that they continue to hold civilians hostage, and a number of countries haven’t supported Palestine to the extent they otherwise would because of it.
I don’t think they have a lot to gain from keeping the hostages, and a huge amount to lose.
