    Imagine how much resources hamas spent on keeping these hostages and how many lives could be saved if they just released them all before the ground operation was started.

      Netanyahu said since November that even if all hostages were released he was going to invade anyway and not stop the war.

        Even more reason to release them all then, and I’m appalled by how hamas was that stupid to not realize that.

          Ahh yes, give away all your leverage when your enemy already stated he will murder you all.

          You should become a negotiator.

            What leverage? You’re saying hostages are needed to save hamas members? Well that seems to be working pretty well huh? Remind me again why they were taken in the first place?

            You should become a negotiator.

            What negotiations? It was a perfect opportunity to show that your cause is a good one, and not to Israel. Instead they kept the hostages… For what purpose? To have “leverage”? Well let’s see how that will help them with anything. Maybe there will be more news about released hostages that you could again associate with Israel trying to release its civilians, not with hamas doing right things.

      Just think about how many lives could have been saved if Israel worked towards a two state solution

        Yeah. October 7 surely didn’t make them start working on that, did it?

            You understand. It happened apropos, not in order to solve problems.

                    Everything hamas did was useless for Palestinians. Israel isn’t stopping because they have the ability. Hamas doesn’t, they won’t win in a military fight and hostages are useless for them. They could start doing something proper like releasing hostages (woyild decrease support for Israel hugely) but they won’t because they think it would help them survive (not even Palestinians).

                    Hamas had a chance to increase its abilities over time, but instead they chose to spend resources on useless attacks.
