This is just stalling.
Extend the cease fire and Then release FIVE more hostages, and Then talk more about the rest of the deal?

How about stick to the previous words to
"release ALL of the hostages Or Else".

Long past time to force Israel into more cease fires. Let Israel in, let them to level the place and kill everyone that resists. There's been plenty of time and opportunity for those who want to leave Gaza. Those who remain, are in approval of Hamas.

It would save more lives in future than are lost in hostages caught in the crossfire. No comfort to the families of the current hostages though.

Negotiations just reward more hostage taking.

Hamas rejects U.S. plan to extend the ceasefire with Israel​

Hamas rejected a new deal to extend the ceasefire in Gaza by several weeks in exchange for Hamas releasing five living and 10 dead hostages, said U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff.

The new proposal, which differs from a previous outline put forward by the Trump administration, would extend the current ceasefire until late April, covering Ramadan and Passover. In exchange, Hamas would release additional hostages and Israel would be required to resume the flow of humanitarian aid into war-ravaged Gaza.

Edan Alexander, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, would also have to be released immediately as part of the deal.

Mr. Witkoff said Hamas rejected the deal, which he said needed to be implemented quickly.

Rubio: Hamas’s demands are ‘nuts,’ we’re dealing with ‘savages’​

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday slammed as “nuts” the terms being demanded by Hamas in hostage-ceasefire negotiations, while insisting the Trump administration was committed to freeing all of the 59 captives held by the Palestinian terrorist group in Gaza.

“We care about all the hostages, we want all the hostages released. … But we’re also talking about bodies. And these trades that are being made, they’re ridiculous trades—400 people for three. These are nuts,” Rubio said at a press conference during the G7 Foreign Ministers Meeting in Charlevoix, Quebec.

“On top of that, you see the condition these people are being released in. … We’re sitting around as the world, sort of accepting that it’s normal and okay for you to go into a place, kidnap babies, kidnap teenagers, kidnap people who have nothing to do with any wars, that are not soldiers … and taking them and putting them in tunnels for almost a year and a half,” he continued.

“The whole world should continue to say that what Hamas has done is outrageous, it’s ridiculous, it’s sick, it’s disgusting. … We’re just dealing with some savages. That’s it. These are bad people, terrible people, and we need to treat them as such,” added Rubio.

IMO deals don't work with Islam.
The ideology in their religion is engrained in them and to them dying for their ideology is martyrdom and they believe it brings them reward in their version of heaven.
Threats of killing them won't stop them, and deals only buy them more time to regroup and strengthen them to attack again.

It's not a deal for Hamas to release dead bodies or five living hostages and in exchange for Israel to release hundreds of terrorist prisoners that will only get right back to doing more terrorist activity.

Hamas has to be eliminated completely and don't leave one left standing.
