Hamas to release 33 hostages, both living and deceased, in proposed hostage deal

[Almost Heaven]

Hamas plans to release 33 hostages, both living and deceased, in the first stage of the hostage deal, according to details cited in Israeli media reports.

The hostages to be released reportedly include women, female soldiers, children under the age of 19, adults above the age of 50, and those who are suffering from illnesses.

In exchange, Hamas demanded that Israel release Palestinian prisoners in accordance with the different categories of hostages.

On the third day of the deal, which will last a total of 126 days, Hamas will release three hostages. Subsequently, Hamas will release three hostages per week, with women and female soldiers to be first on the list.

In the sixth week, Hamas will release the remaining hostages in this stage.

Despite not having the full details of the original proposal, Israeli media reported that there seem to be differences between the deal Hamas agreed to and the proposal Israel confirmed with Egypt.

The hate and desire to kill is a huge factor. Then perhaps there is a need to keep some hostages to supposedly limit Israel's response. But in all honesty, what part of "ALL" do these cut throat haters not understand when it comes to returning the hostages? It's obvious that they do understand. Eradication has to be the only option.

Holding back due to hostages when you're fighting for National survival isn't wise.

There should be nothing left of hamas by now and Gaza should be rubble.

Releasing dead bodies as part of the deal. Really.

That at least gives loved ones closure. Not knowing if your spouse or son or daughter or whoever is alive or dead, and how they might be suffering if they are alive is a horrible thing.

Israel will probably search high and low for hostages alive/remains after they finish conquering hamas. I wish them success in that endeavor when the time comes.

I think they may yet find some surviving hostages in Rafah. But whether they do or not, Hamas has to be obliterated and the civilians supporting Hamas need to take their lumps in the coming days.
