Hamas warns hostages likely to be killed if fighting in Gaza resumes, is considering US offer for 60-day ceasefire in exchange for 10 living hostages
[IsraelTimes] Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida warns that any Israeli military escalation against the Gaza terror group will most likely lead to the killing of some hostages.

He further adds that Israeli threats of war and blockade will not secure the release of hostages, and claims that the terror group is still committed to abiding by the truce deal with Israel, the first stage of which recently concluded.

Fifty-nine hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip following the end of the first phase of the ceasefire, at least 35 of whom have been confirmed dead by the IDF.

Report: US offers Hamas 60-day ceasefire for 10 living hostages

[IsraelTimes] The US has offered Hamas a deal in which 10 living Israeli hostages would be released in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire, a Palestinian source tells Sky News Arabia on Thursday.

“Washington asked Hamas to release ten hostages… in exchange for extending the ceasefire for sixty days, starting negotiations on the second phase and the position of Israeli forces along the Philadelphi Corridor,” as well as resuming the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, the source says.

The source does not indicate when the offer was presented.

According to the source, “Hamas is still considering its response to the American proposal.”

Time to cease this Hamas continued PR campaign and freeing of 1000's of their jailed terrorist buddies show.

Hamas is just using it every month as a,
"See we have Israel and the US by the Ba_l's.",
stunt to build support and followers.

#2 lead to the killing of some hostages

Seems like the killing of a spokesman would be an appropriate response.
