They are dead Jim
All of the hostages are dead. Hamas is playing with an empty hand. They can only bluff to stay in the game.
EC
“hostage deal between Israel and Hamas after the terror group balked”
Why?
The hostages are almost all dead.
They have nothing to make a deal with.
I wonder what he’s really traveling for? It certainly has nothing to do with hostages. I bet he’s doing something related to Ukraine.
They need to send him to Ukraine.
Israel should take the deal. Show the world the truth about Hamas (again). Then when they get back about FFL few or none at all, drop the hammer on everything and finish it all in shock and awe.
Why would they send a CIA guy rather than a State Dept guy?
The CIA has its fingers in everything.
so Blinken finally sidelined - Bibi has effectively cut him off at the knees along with JObama. they see the Obama Columbia Said Khalidi connection and lack of rejection of the Dem PaliHamas wing. for Israel it is all about wiping out the last bastion of terrorism next door. and the Arab street has remained quite quiet as if in tacit agreement.
Is he collecting bribes for Bye-dumb and barry?
>> This guy sure has been traveling a lot the last four years.
Yes, and every time he and the others in the Obiden cabal get on a plane, I am comforted by the thought that it just might crash and we’ll be rid of them and their corrupt evil.
Hamas just couldn’t help themselves and murdered all the hostages. Thus, they have nothing to bargain with. They were counting on them being able to squeal and whine enough in the West to put pressure on Israel not to bring the hammer fully down on them. They guessed wrong.
>> last-ditch effort to save talks on a potential hostage deal ... after [Hamas] balked at Israel continuing the war against it.
“After Hamas balked at Israel continuing the war”... man, that contorted language speaks volumes about how the arrogant leftist filth in our government view their role, and Hamas’s role, and Israel’s role.
SMOKE ‘EM, BIBI!!! TURN GAZA INTO FLY ASH.
The hostages are dead.
Israel should have offered cash rewards (10000 Euros/dollars) for hostages.
CIA Chief Heads to Qatar, as Hostage Deal Talks with Hamas Near ‘Collapse’, to Apply Drastic Pressure on Israel to Surrender.
Taking the USA checkbook?
Doubtful any hostages are still alive.
Show me the terrorists like Hamas and the countries that fund them like Qatar and I’ll show you the Central Intelligence Agency...
They don’t want to die. Oh, well.
Because the supply of State Department “diplomats” was exhausted.
