A senior Hamas official tells Reuters that Israel is unilaterally ending the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

The terror group issues a statement saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s decision to resume Israel’s “aggression” against Gaza exposes the hostages “to an unknown fate.”

Historically, Israel would eliminate the threat with any loss of hostages considered a cost Israel accepted. It kept so many from taking Israeli hostages.

When did that policy change.

I have to believe Israel has placed sensors all over Gaza - probably look like rocks

How many hostages are still alive? I want proof.

Even if any hostages still live, how many would survive being paraded through the streets with hostile Gazans attacking them?

How many are so near death they won't survive even if immediately hospitalized?

Time for hard choices. Continue to kiss Hamas’ ass in hopes of getting a few hostages back alive or destroy Hamas once and for all. Pretty certain that the new administration will let Israel finish the job. Hard choices indeed.

Hamas has been using hosrages to jerk Israel around for for 1.5 years.
They were supposed to have returned them all dead or alive by now.
They broke the deal and got hundreds of THEIR prisoners back.
They broke the agreement.
Ceasefire over.

Hamas could have freed the hostages and ended the war anytime they wanted…they don’t want to end the war…they are a death cult

It’s seems pretty obvious Hamas does not have any more living hostages. Since they knew the cease fire would end when the hostage releases ended, they had a clear motive for “refusing” to release any more.

I think it’s pretty well known what their fate is going to be.

Exactly right.

And people need to remember that nobody forced them to attack Israel, torture, rape, and kill Israelis and take hostages.

Every move involving the hostages is hamas' own decision and doing.

BS

Hamas is infiltrating terrorists and arms to begin the war again. And they refused to release a hostage and bodies as the agreement said.

It changed when it was clear that Hamas had broken the agreement of the truce. And they failed to deliver a live hostage, and several dead hostages as promised.

Hamas and Hezbollah LIE. They are both terrorists. End of story.
