Palestinian group rejected an Israeli offer to stop fighting for one week in exchange for dozens of hostages, saying it wouldn’t discuss releasing their Israeli captives until a cease-fire goes into effect first.

    So you think they will release the hostages but won’t till after the ceasefire? Why wouldn’t they agree then? I can’t understand your point. If they had any intention of actually releasing some wouldn’t that be acceptable?

      Israel has about 7000 hostages (inlcuding kids, poets, grandmothers etc) and also re-imprisoned some of those released under the last deal. Most of those still held by Hamas are actually military so prisoners of war.

      I don’t know if they will or won’t.

      I just know you can’t claim the other side is being disingenuous in negotiations while you’re killing them one-sidedly
