    Hamas would free the women, elderly and wounded hostages it’s still holding in return for Israel’s release of hundreds of Palestinians held in its jails.

    Pretty sure the only prisoners they have is maybe a handful of wounded IDF soldiers that were captured in Palestine at this point…

    Gaza has no food, water, or medical supplies and Israel has spent 7 months flattening the entire region.

    How were any hostages from 10/7 supposed to survive Israels bombing for 7 months?

    And what happens when Israel says there has to be more hostages so they don’t have to do even the temp ceasefire?

    Like, releasing hostages is permanent, the ceasefire is explicitly temporary, why not start the ceasefire first?

    And that’s not even getting into how hostages are one thing, and invading military members who were captured while committing are two very different things that Biden and Israel are intentionally conflating.
