Hamas planned to exhume the remains of British soldiers and hold them "prisoner," The Telegraph reported.
The plan was explained in detail in a seven-page document shared with The Telegraph by Israeli officials, and referred to British and Commonwealth troops who fought the Ottomans and were buried in Gaza in 1917.
Under the plan, Hamas would exhume the remains of these soldiers and then "blackmail" the British government for their return.
The document shared with the Telegraph was uncovered by the IDF on January 31, in a Khan Yunis compound linked to Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif. It is believed that the document dates from early October 2022, and was written in response to comments made by then-Prime Minister Liz Truss following her statements regarding moving the British Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The demands to be met in exchange for release of the soldiers' bodies would have included at least one of the following: retraction of the statement on the Embassy move, evacuation of the soldiers' remains to cemeteries outside Gaza, or the retrospective payment of fees for the use of the cemeteries' land, dating back to 1917.
According to the document, if the British government fails to meet these demands, then the Gaza authorities will "act to remove all the corpses from the cemeteries and collect them in a special location by judicial order, declaring that the corpses are considered captive until a solution or deal is found."

Typical vile Muslim behavior. But to be fair, the British monarchy did dig up Oliver Cromwell. But it wasn’t a hostage thing. It was a post-death punishment thing.
Jeremy Bentham had a taxidermist stuff him and put him in a glass case, I forget whether it was in Harvard or Oxford. More than a hundred years after their death in a forgotten campaign of a long-ago war, it’s just plain lame.
The UK is so whipped they would have submitted
Wouldn’t put it past the new Labour government. They’ll crack down on anything white, give all the other hues a pass.
That’s extortion, not blackmail.
Pretty inept extortion at that. Two hoodlums tried to hold Charlie Chaplin’s corpse for ransom. The family refused, so they left his remains in a ditch and scarpered.

A comical pose that only a dead philosopher would appreciate.
“Reverend came to bury me.
My wife said through her tears,
‘Do you have to take him, Reverend?
HE AIN’T BEEN THIS STIFF IN YEARS!’”
-old Blues song.
Would have made a great Chaplin short film. Rich man apparently dies but is only comatose. Family buries him. Brigands steal the corpse, thereby saving his life, and try to get a ransom. Heir, a worthless social butterfly and tennis bum, refuses to pay. The brigands want to do something heinous to the corpse, but as they’re transporting him, the deceased wakes up and wants to know what’s for dinner. They run away, horrified, and the deceased millionaire walks home with his wicker cane and trademark gait, derby on head.
the Fakestinian terrorists are so Satanic, evil with all their lies, false narrative, murder raids, kidnapping, bombing, and over-arching bullsheit.......
but UK isn’t gonna care all THAT much about Fakestinian sacrilege of old graves in Fakestinian-Occupied Israel.
UK has a problem with several million very dangerous Fakestinian cousins, many Moslem “immigrants” right in Londonstan, Birmingham, and throughout the country.
But Labour’s in control of the government, and their party calls for sucking up to all WOGs and FOGs at every opportunity, and never giving the REBs (Regular English Blokes) the time of day. Maybe they’ll compromise and only pay rent from 1917 on the graves of the Indian Expeditionary Force, and let them abuse the graves of the REBs to their hearts’ content, in case they’ve already killed all the hostages and still want to abuse a corpse or five hundred.
that’s great, do you know the name of the song or who did it?

Not off-hand. I can search. But so can you and anyone else.
I just remember that lyric, which is pretty shocking.
The “little tramp” now fabulously rich and still walking alone.
Yep, I did a quick lyrics search on Google first, but no luck, so I wrote my query above. No worries, it’s gotta be out there somewhere. It’s.... remarkable. :-)
