Hamas has yet to publish the names of the three male hostages who are set to be released tomorrow from captivity, in violation of the ceasefire terms which oblige the terror group to update Israeli officials via the mediators by 4 p.m.

In recent days, Hamas has accused Israel of violating the deal’s terms by withholding humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.

Perhaps because they are still trying to find three live hostages to produce and they still have no idea of who they can locate.

And this is the Gaza where we’re supposed to build condos and swimming pools and restaurants and sell timeshares to non-Muslims?

Israel was taken to the cleaners by Hamas on this hostage release deal. Thirty-three alive or not Israelis in exchange for sending 1,999 very much alive Hamas fighters back to Gaza who had been doing time in Israeli jails?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Any deal that buys Hamas more time is a lose/lose for Israel. That’s why the hostages are being released so slowly. Hamas are regrouping and restrategizing, all the while Israel just sits and waits.

Unless somebody turns out the Mullahs and Iran is given back to its people, nothing will change in the Middle East.

I think Hamas may be stalling for good reason. Rumor has it they will release the bodies of the mother and the two infants they kidnapped. HAMAS claims they were killed in an air raid. It is possible, but they kidnapped the babies and held them as human shields in a war zone. They are responsible for the deaths.

Israel does what is called a "knock" before they bomb a building that houses civilians. They drop a dude bomb, like the blue practice bombs, on the building to warn the residents they have to evacuate the building. When they knock, you can feel it throughout the buildings. That means the "innocent" Palestinian civilians being paid to hide the hostages left them knowing the building was to be bombed. When those babies' bodies are released, there will be hell to pay. HAMAS has claimed in the past that hostages died in bombings; some did, some did not.

HAMAS needs to stall Israel to prepare for what will be coming. Israel may wait to get more hostages back, but eventually, they will hit GAZA and HAMAS hard. It is possible Shin Bet and Mossad already know which family held them. They will be marked for death, and rightly so.

This is the game they play. They will demand you prove you’re living up to every jot and tittle before they budge on basic obligations. They will go round and round through meetings and follow ups and never accept that you’re doing enough to honor your side of the deal so why should they?

It's reasonable to assume that Hamas has already released all the living female hostages that Hamas can or is willing to release.

Not sure how many men are still left alive that Hamas is willing and able to release.

One way or another, I think the hostage game is coming to an end after the six week cease fire ends and I doubt that Hamas will follow through on the deal.

Hamas is probably unsure if there are any healthy enough to stand and be paraded before being releases....or if there are any that are still alive.

I doubt that Hamas can be trusted to keep any promise.
