| [IsraelTimes] Hamas said to demand life-term murderers in return for civilians, not just for soldiers Citing a White House official, the Washington Post reported Sunday that Hamas introduced its own "poison pill" into the talks in the past week, demanding the release of Paleostinian murderous Moslems serving life sentences in Israel in return for hostages who are civilians, not just IDF soldiers. The Washington Post on Sunday cited a White House official as saying that Hamas has made the truce-hostage negotiations all the more difficult by demanding that murderous Moslems serving life sentences be released for civilian hostages in the deal’s first stage, a six-week ceasefire. Until now, the formula was that hardened murderous Moslems would only be released for kidnapped IDF soldiers, including 150 life-term murderers to be released from Israeli jails during the first phase in return for the five female surveillance soldiers held hostage. Citing "officials involved in the details" of the talks, Kan News reported Sunday that Washington is holding up presenting its new formula for a deal because of the new Hamas demand — which was made Friday, according to Kan. The public broadcaster cited a Paleostinian source as saying Hamas’s demand was not new. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... an unsourced Channel 12 report said Thursday that Hamas was demanding an increase in the number of life-term murderers to be released in return for the five female soldiers. It is believed that 97 hostages kidnapped during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 33 confirmed dead by the IDF. Negotiators said to believe chance of hostage deal ‘close to zero’; US also pessimistic [IsraelTimes] Families reportedly told deal unlikely to happen as Netanyahu, Sinwar both hardened stances; US to delay presenting new proposal, does not want to reward Hamas after executions |

| #1 No surprise here. HAMAS will keep stalling and adding conditions, to drag it out in the Media. Plus, it will need time to locate the hostages actually being held by its collection of constantly moving terrorist cells. Then there is the real serious issue, as sad as it is to say. That likely the number of living Hostages is lower than what Hamas is claiming, for its constantly delaying and increasing demands. |
