I doubt if there are any hostages left alive.

It's been over six months. They're all dead.

Even if hostages were still alive, would you have made a deal with Nazi Germany in 1944, just to save the few Jewish people still alive in the Concentration Camps?

If all the Israeli hostages are dead I hope Israel says, “deal is iff” and then goes scorched earth on Hamas.

I stated on 10/8 that they WERE dead (i.e., that Israel needed to believe that they were, indeed, dead).

The price of getting them back alive is much too high, exponentially higher than their failure to prevent 10/7.
