  Yep, Joe Bidens amazing negotiating skills persuaded  Hamas to release hostages .

  Well done Joe 

To start with, no hostage has been released yet.

 

There are ongoing negotiations involving Hamas, the Israeli government and the U.S. government. Trump is not at all part of these negotiations. 

 

Hopefully, it will succeed!

I tagged you in a post a few hours ago .

Don't tell me that you cannot find that !!!!!

I have a feeling that you are now just winding me up 

"Hamas stated how many hostages they are holding and what their condition is and Hamas also state they will find out where all the other hostages are and what their condition is . Hamas released that info just after Trump made his threat  

    That is the first step in resolving the issue and the hostages being freed"

 

So none have been released?

Not quite, it all stalled after Hamas refused to negotiate and then Biden told them to leave Qatar.

 

The talks only really kicked off again in Dec.

 

Trump aides asked Qatar to recall ousted Hamas chiefs in bid to revive hostage talks
Sources tell ToI that after Biden requested terror leaders’ expulsion, president-elect’s team urged reversal of move, deeming Doha’s mediation critical to get a deal before Jan. 20

   Not yet , no . 

They were told to release the hostages BEFORE Trump took the White house seat , which is in a few weeks time .

Well let's hope so.....the hell they've been through doesn't bear thinking about......

 

....Which clashes, somewhat, with someone else's post...... that the kids in Gaza (paraphrasing) are not innocents.....sad.

I felt, on balance, that it was such a sensitive issue I wouldn't engage.

That would depend on how old those children were really and what their roles were, we know that quite a few of those so called children were released in the last prisoner and hostage swap back in November last year. Here is an example of Hamas children in a child terrorist training camp in Gaza.
