Hamas seems to reject new hostage deal offer, says it'll only accept full IDF pullout
2024-01-30
An impasse. Back to fighting the war, then.
[IsraelTimes] Hamas on Monday evening appeared to reject a new framework for a hostage deal that had been agreed to by Israel, saying it would not accept any agreement that did not include an end to the war and the withdrawal of all Israeli troops from Gaza.

The terror group issued a statement alongside a smaller terror group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, insisting Israel must halt its "aggression" and pull out of Gaza before any exchange deal takes place.

A senior Hamas official added that the terror group wants a "complete and comprehensive ceasefire" in Gaza.

#4  Hamas needs the hostages as human shields for the big shots.

#3  "Surrender and we will negotiate!"

Taking hostages definitely improved Hamasses bargaining position, but the value of hostages tends to zero over time as their deaths become more and more likely.
