    Because that way they won’t be able to extort goods and services for the hostages … so sad seeing good hostage wasted…

      In this press release Hamas said they tried to release more prisoners but Israeli wouldn’t accept them.

      If Hamas is being genuine, there shouldn’t be any tit for tat on a humanitarian hostage release.

      I’m just trying to demonstrate how The Hamas statement feels demonstrably disingenuous. Because they have other options.

      Hamas is not a good actor, the plight of the people in the Gaza strip does not helped by Hamas being such a bad actor.

        From what I understand they released two hostages via the Red Cross and things went fine. I think Hamas willing to return hostages is a good thing. Why won’t Israel take them up on it despite them already releasing two? Most likely imo because Israel’s long term goals include genocide and their handling of the hostage situation so far has been shit.

          I think the balance of probability is demonstrates that’s Hamas is lying here. If they wanted to release two hostages, with no strings attached, they could simply drop them off at the Red Cross, the UN, or at the Egyptian border. To claim that they need Israelis agreement, and support to release a hostage is extremely disingenuous.

          Honestly, it sounds like they’re just trying to get a sound bite for propaganda purposes. It doesn’t matter that it’s obviously a lie, the people who can see it’s a lie aren’t the ones the propaganda’s for.

            . If they wanted to release two hostages, with no strings attached, they could simply drop them off at the Red Cross, the UN, or at the Egyptian border.

            They did drop two hostages to the Red Cross just 2 days ago.

              Great. Why can’t they do that again? Why press release that Israel is preventing them from releasing two more hostages with no strings attached?
