The Hamas terror group has expressed uncertainty as to whether it could gather 40 civilian hostages for release in a prisoner swap deal with Israel, officials familiar with the negotiations said.
The terror group's uncertainty complicates talks for a deal which would include a six-week ceasefire, the return of Gazans to northern Gaza, and the release of hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for less than a third of the hostages currently held in Gaza.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a Hamas official said that the terror organization would not commit to releasing 40 living hostages, but would commit to 40 hostages in total.
Hamas took approximately 240 Israelis hostage on October 7, and approximately 100 were freed in a November 2023 prisoner swap. Of the 133 remaining, 34 have been confirmed dead, but later reports claimed that at least 50 had been killed, indicating that around 80 might still be alive.
WSJ noted that US officials familiar with intelligence have said that according to some US estimates, most of the hostages are already dead. Of those, it is likely that most died of injuries from their initial capture, while others died of health issues or from violence. Still others were already dead when their bodies were taken hostage by Gaza terrorists.

How many did they rape and murder? Libs don’t care as long as they can wave their cute little flags.
-——The terror group’s uncertainty——
results from loss of command and control.
The brutally mangled hand doesn’t know if there is still a right hand
IOW, most of them are now dead as we’ve all figured.
From Israel Breaking News: “Hamas acknowledges it lacks sufficient living Israeli captives for a deal, with intelligence indicating most hostages are deceased. The group delays negotiations fearing exposure of its deceit about captive status. WSJ”
“...results from loss of command and control...” ??
Seriously!
That Oct 7 thing was a motor march from the giddy up!!
The media is as low as the common criminal/pedophile. They are embarrassments to their friend’s, family and their children should shun them.
When the Iranian terrorists took Americans hostage during the hapless Carter administration, the nightly news kept a running tally of the days in captivity and the media SAID THEIR NAMES. “America Held Hostage Day…” I have not seen anything like that from the lowlife media.
Instead the mendacious reprobate talking heads of today side with America’s enemies. Disgusting vile people.
The Hamas ‘leadership’ gave civilians a green light to do as they wished with absolutely no accountability and THAT’S exactly what they did!
Even worse, what if the hostages are still alive but Hamas doesn’t dare release them because of the stories they would tell about their treatment? How much of that could the media hide from us?
ham ass murdered (a war crime) more than 90 of the hostages they took (a war crime).
It is time that we start pushing back against these propagandist. A divided house will not stand, and these traitors are doing their best to divide our house.
Amazing the lack of concern for these hostages by Biden, especially the Americans.
After all this time I’d be surprised if there was one innocent hostage still alive. We stopped hearing about them a few months ago. There was a one-year old among them. Sick and elderly.
Forced to remain underground, with miserable food and water and no bathrooms. Damp, cold and dark. No possibility of medical care.
Nobody talks about them. The left doesn’t want to hear about them, because then someone might think that the followers of hamas are vicious, mean, cold, cruel subhuman religious fanatics with no compassion for other humans.
“Le’olam al tishkach, Le’olam lo” “Never forget, never again”, but the world forgot, and it happened again.
If they are alive, they’ve been experiencing inhuman conditions and demonic torture, for sure. It stands to reason that Hamas will not run the P.R. risk of allowing the rest of us to learn the true tale of what these poor people have been through since 10/7.
No one is asking for “proof of life”?
They asked. But Biden is putting enormous pressure on them. Surrender or else.

Also many terrorist organizations are notvorganized hierarchically. They are more like franchisees. Their leadership provides arms and tells them to kill Jews. Something they don’t have to be told twice!
Wow. Hamas is very incompetent.
It’s almost like these are an unorganized group of 80 IQ medieval peasant farmers who are just trying not to get murdered and kicked off of their ancestral land by an invading force of atheist Europeans in funny hats.
That can’t be it though. It has to be instead, that Hamas is an organized paramilitary unit who are trying to genocide the poor religious scholars who are basically proto-Christians.
They’re all dead.
Israel should proceed accordingly and wipe Hamas out to the last member. Then kill their families, every last one no matter where they are.
