Hamas has said it will execute hostages if Israel bombs residential areas with out warning. Now they have issued more demands for their release.

Hamas wants US prisoners freed alongside those in Israel as part of a deal the terrorist group could make to release dozens of hostages taken to Gaza.
An exiled Hamas leader in Lebanon, Ali Barakeh, said that the group would aim to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli and American prisons. He has been the group's leader in Lebanon for years and is in charge of coordinating other Palestinian groups there.
Without specifying who, he said: "There are Palestinians held in America. We will ask for their release."
In 2009, a court in Dallas sentenced two founding members of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, once the largest US Muslim charity, to 65 years in prison for funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.
Three other men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 to 20 years for conspiracy.
Barakeh added: "We have prepared well for this war and to deal with all scenarios, even the scenario of the long war. We will bring life to a stop in the Zionist entity if the aggression does not stop on Gaza."
Barakeh said Hamas has so far employed only a small number of its own forces. He said nearly 2,000 Hamas fighters have taken part in the latest fighting, out of an army of 40,000 in Gaza alone.
Hamas may also be able to count on its allies if it faces a major setback. On Sunday, Hezbollah fired several rockets and shells at three Israeli positions in a disputed area.
On Monday, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group claimed it sent four gunmen across Lebanon’s border into Israel.
The militants said they had wounded seven Israeli soldiers. Israel said its own forces shot and killed several gunmen who crossed into the country from Lebanon. It also shelled southern Lebanon in response.
I hate that Hamas is still speaking.
“Sure. Take them. And here — have $10B too!”
— Joe Biden
Strap them to Jdams, load them in B-52s and release them over Gaza
Time to turn Gaza into a glass menagerie.................
I would think Biden would happily do that and likely add a few billions in cash to top it off.
Sure, do the exchange then le el the place anyway.
I propose that we release them, over Gaza, from FL350 or so, without a parachute. Give him that for which he asks ...
you’re too nice.
MOAB’s.
That POS Biden will do this before Israel has a chance to kill these Fother Muckers.
Uh.....NO!
Fine. Give them all their COVID vaccinations with applicable boosters and let them go.
