Does anyone have evidence the hostages are still alive?
My guess is that most of them are dead. Even if some of them are still alive, Hamas will never release them because the hostages will go on TV and they will divulge the details of Hamas' crimes against them. So that's a no-go, unfortunately.
Bibi knows that so he's right to write them off. But the Israeli population won't let him do that. And the Americans.
Israel has asked Hamas for a count but they won’t provide one. It’s assumed that’s because most of them are dead. Maybe all of them.
Not really. The word of hamas? But they are probably saving a few to use to trade for a 1000 terrorists in Israeli custody.
I believecthe answer is no.
