The question arises: what would transpire if Israel were to engage in a genuine war against a nation or multiple nations Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in 6 days. Shows how careful they are being in Gaza because of human shields

You really shouldn't have put that prediction online, you cant get away from it now....lol. Bit like those who occasionally let their veil slip and show their true colours. Its too late. Its online in a post for all to see. Just jesting....:-) Seriously however, the deal has already been etched for a 6 week temp ceasefire as a first stage with the hope that would be extended to a further ceasefire with new talks but those new talks would not happen till the first stage has happened. The first stage is for 40 hostages to be released, which should include all remaining women and some of the other elderly, I think the exchange includes around 400 Palestinian prisoners many of those to be the more hard core convicted ones. So to what is in Hamas's hands. Israel and the US want a hostage list from them to reveal who is still alive and which ones will be released. Obviously in light of the UN report on the sexual abuse of the hostages in Gaza getting the women out first is even more important now. Hamas official says group doesn’t know which hostages are alive, or where they are A Hamas official explained to the BBC on Sunday why the terror group didn’t accede to the Israeli demand to provide the number of hostages still alive: it doesn’t know itself. “Practically it is impossible to know who is still alive because of the Israeli bombardment and blockage. They are in different areas with different groups,” according to Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political wing, who spoke with the BBC‘s London-based “Newshour” program from Istanbul. Qatar told Israel on Sunday that ceasefire talks will not be able to advance after Hamas failed to give Israel the number of living captives, which Israel said was a requirement to move forward with a ceasefire agreement. https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/hamas-official-says-group-doesnt-know-which-hostages-are-alive-or-where-they-are-b45o0ej9

The video above only mentions Kamala Harris calling for more aid and a ceasefire, the full speech is below and includes: "Hamas claims it wants a ceasefire, well there is a deal on the table and as we have said, Hamas needs to agree to that deal. Lets get a ceasefire, lets reunite the hostages with their families and lets provide immediate relief to the people of Gaza." Or like Biden said, its in Hamas hands now.

I would expect nothing else from the terrorists. Hamas Denies UN Report Finding Terror Group Committed Sexual Violence on Oct. 7 The UN’s Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Monday issued the long-anticipated report, which said Hamas may today still be abusing women kept as hostages in Gaza. The inquiry was led by Pramila Patten, the team’s special envoy. In response, Hamas accused the UN of pushing a pro-Israel bias. https://www.algemeiner.com/2024/03/05/hamas-denies-un-report-finding-terror-group-committed-sexual-violence-on-oct-7/

Here's the problem, never trust anything in terrorists hands or let them know they hold all the cards. U.S. President Biden says the hostage deal is 'in the hands of Hamas"

Nah, I can read again one of your disgusting posts and yes a screenshot is taken, you have truly reached the bottom. No more debates with you, it makes me feel unclean. There are hostages out there still being held by these animals who you claim are doing things above board and lawful.

as far as I'm concerned whatever Hamas does is lawful and above board Only just noticed this filth. Jeez. No further words needed.

Do you off topic troll and make personals slurs on the other platforms too?

Still waiting for a link to your claim. Senior Hamas leader says he doesn't know how many hostages are left in Gaza https://www.cbsnews.com/video/senior-hamas-leader-says-he-doesnt-know-how-many-hostages-are-left-in-gaza/

What a load of rubbish, the current sticking point is Netanyahu doesn't want to go anywhere near a ceasefire because if he does that's the end of him. Link to that unsubstantiated claim? But Israeli media say Hamas is refusing to confirm which of its hostages are still alive, so Israel will not attend. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68461543

There are no contradictions in my claims, you are trolling nothing else.

Currently the sticking point for the hostage release is the list of hostages that are still alive. If it gets to UN resolutions from 76 years ago let me know and I'll be happy to discuss. You are deflecting from this serious topic of innocent hostages but that's expected from you.

Topic: Nicaragua files case at World Court accusing Germany of aiding Israel’s ‘genocide’

You are obviously confused as to what innocent hostages being held captive by terrorists are. Until you grasp that its pointless discussing in a hostage topic.

Victim blaming the innocent hostages being held captive and sexually abused.

Absolutely nothing to do with the current war, way off topic nonsense

You should know better than to troll. Hamas are terrorist's but then from a Putin supporter and flat earther I am not surprised you hold such bizarre views

You don't think this has been discussed numerous times in the last 5 months? I also don't read AJ who employees terrorist reporters

Why am I over the map, you just said this: "And yet you posted and quoted form a link that said there had been 8 wars" Wrong, I never said that, I said "The hostilities constitute the fifth war of the Gaza–Israel conflict since 2008."

Wrong topic, and wrong quote "The hostilities constitute the fifth war of the Gaza–Israel conflict since 2008."

Blah blah blah the ICJ has already ordered Hamas to release the hostages immediately with no pre conditions, weeks ago. Ignored. The UN Security Council has already ordered Hamas to release the hostages immediately with no preconditions, weeks ago. Ignored.

Hamas started the war on 7th Oct and have promised to do the same again and again: “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it twice and three times. The Al-Aqsa Deluge [the name Hamas gave its October 7 onslaught] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth,” Hamad continued. “Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-official-says-group-aims-to-repeat-oct-7-onslaught-many-times-to-destroy-israel https://twitter.com/MEMRIReports/status/1719662664090075199

Yes that old, "They have laid out a reasonable set of conditions sponsored by Egypt to end the war." bit really does it. Hamas lay out reasonable conditions! If not so sad it would be laughable

You are confused, Hamas are the terrorists here, who could have stopped this months ago but prefer to sacrifice the civilian population of Gaza
