Hamas Tries to Split Israel, U.S., with Latest Hostage Release Offer

The Palestinian terrorist organization known as Hamas offered Friday to release one living American hostage and the bodies of four dead American hostages while retaining about 55 Israeli hostages, in response to American proposals.

The offer came after U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff proposed a second-phase hostage deal that would see half of all the remaining hostages freed at the start of a ceasefire period, and the other half released at the end of the period.

Israel immediately accepted the deal. Hamas

I’m a Christian and my God is actually Jewish. LORD Jesus became one of us, born in Israel, circumcised on the 8th day, resurrected in His Jewish body. A trillion years from now, you can still ask him to show you his scars on his Jewish body— these hostages are literally His close family. He is going to deal with these Terrorists with perfect judgement. When He judges them for what they’ve done, no one will shout—“no, that’s not fair. “ These guys will get exactly what they deserve, which is why I don’t rant about how much I hate them. They’ll be dealt with soon enough. You don’t stick your finger in God’s eye and then not except him to react.

So, then…

What about that line in the sand?

Now they’re emboldened. A needless black eye. I had more expectations.

[MtnClimber]

Release all of the HAMAS prisoners too. Just release them in a non-CO2 polluting condition.

[Tommy Revolts]

Now they’re negotiating dead bodies? The evil Hamas needs to be wiped from the face of the earth.

Witkoff and Boehler botched things immediately, and the President seems very uncharacteristically tolerant of that.

yeah, Trump said they had to release ALL the hostages by Saturday a few weeks ago or Hell would rain down. Then it didn’t happen in fact, nothing happened,sometimes, Trump says some weird stuff and it’s difficult to know what’s real and what’s not with him if he’s bluffing or not. Part of his way of doing things I guess.

[jjotto]

Just yesterday, Rubio backed down from the ‘hell to pay immediately’ gambit. At least today news is breaking that Houthis are getting another whack by US forces.

“… to release one living American hostage and the bodies of four dead American hostages…”

I’ve just about reached the point where I wish Pres. Trump would ask Congress to declare war on Hamas.

I have a counteroffer.

[rdcbn1]

Yup, Trump absolutely said that Hamas had to release all the hostages or all hell would rain down on Hamas.

Trump has settled for the release of the last living American hostage and the dead bodies of the remaining American hostages.

Frankly, Americans could care less about the dead bodies of American hostages but it keeps the dead hostage narrative intact so god on them and there will no doubt be much outrage when we discover how the living American hostages became dead dead American hostages.

Trump is not even remotely bluffing. He is just trying to get as many living hostages out of Gaza before the hammer falls. Getting the last living American hostage out removes any domestic down side risks for Trump of killing an American in what is coming for Hamas.

Next step will possibly be the Izzys trying a last ditch rescue attempt of the remaining Israeli hostages before very bad things happen in Gaza.

Then Trump will most likely start begin preparatory demolition of the Gaza to pave the way for the new Gaza along the lines of the Trump vision for the future of Gaza so the old Gaza we know and love is not going to be around much longer.

The Arabs have had their chance to settle this thing and they have failed.

It may mean the first shovel full of dirt for the ground breaking of new Gaza Lago on the future Gaza Rivera is about to dug by a Mk84 JDAM

Putting troops into the middle east even more than we already do- wow I dunno. It literally should be called “Crazytown” over there. Hornet’s nest. They do have one of our people. Hey, Caesar back in the day would have wiped them out and salted the earth.

[Strict9]

I just don’t see in this universe or in any parallel universe or timeline where we do anything over there and it ends up working out. Those people are just that screwed up. And they’ve been fighting each other for thousands of years. I really doubt that we’re gonna be able to do anything to clear that up. But, they do have one of our hostages so as soon as that person’s out then they can go back to killing themselves.

[rdcbn1]

The Gaza has an clear solution - level the Gaza and relocate the Gazans.

The way to make that happen is to use the Palestinians own strategy against them.

First make the Gaza uninhabitable and destroy Hamas.

Then make living in the Gaza such a humanitarian disaster that the only solution is to relocate them and have the Gazans beg the world to let them leave and have their beloved rich Arab brothers do Allah's work and build the Gazans a new homeland.

So let me explain to you since i live in israel.

1) Trunps statements are a green light to israel to do what it needs to do to destroy Hamas.

2) Trunps positions on Islamic terrorism have not changed. He’s been speaking about since he was running in 2015—the same time as the pulse club attack and the san bernardino attack and the bataclan club attack and the marseilles attack

3) i highly highly recommened you follow Amir Tzarfati on telegram or youtube if you want to keep on the pulse of world events. He’s super in tune and connects all the dots

4) to answer your question: There are still 20+living hostages alive in gaza. The bottom line is that if Israel launches an operation to wipe out Hamas, then the hostages will be dead. So Israel is doing everything they can to secure as many living souls as they can before d-day arrives. Once d-day happens then its all over. So israel is doing everything it possibly can to squeeze out the live ones before d-day happens and the situation will remain delicate until then

5) d-day will happen eventually though and it wont be pretty. Hamas may very well launch a surprise of their own which will force Israel into action

“....to release one living American hostage and the bodies of four dead American hostages......”

Sounds like part of the accepting of the bodies of four dead American hostages, should be the killing of 4,000 people associated with Hamas. The only way to deal with terrorists who dream of dying to get their 72 virgins is through death, not negotiations.

Israel and the US use to have a policy of no negotiations with terrorists. One cannot negotiate with terrorists as it is just enabling their future terrorism.

[Strict9]

That’s cool that you live in Israel. Who knows how many people are still alive. You folks are literally dealing with animals so you just can’t predict what they’re going to do. King David would have slaughtered them in one night, and then he would have written a Psalm about it. Pity David isn’t around when you need him.

[logi_cal869]

Yes, but now the damage is done, absent planning about which we know nothing until it happens.

The worst possible outcome here is that the bait is taken, a few bodies released, and nothing happens...again.

I hold hope that an op is in the works, but my other hand is filling up fast.

[logi_cal869]

They are negotiating dead bodies because bibi signed on to this tactic and DJT’s threat has thus far proven empty.

*sigh*

[Strict9]

and if they do release bodies, who knows if they are the right ones. We aren’t exactly dealing with girl scouts or rocket scientists
