Do you think it matters what hamas wants to do?
Israel just proposed another ceasefire in exchange for hostages…
Do you think hamas should take it?
Actually Israel just responded to the proposal. Should Hamas accept it, probably. But I think Israel should have accepted Hamas’s proposal for a ceasefire back in November. Also, I don’t know what Israel’s response is. Are they offering a permanent or temporary ceasefire in exchange for all the hostages? Israel has made it clear that the return of hostages is not their priority do not sure how much weight that will play in negotiations.
Israel did agree in November…
Why do you think Israel would be suggesting a permanent cease fire in exchange for hostages if getting the hostages back was not a priority?
What was the atmosphere like?
“We left the meeting very disappointed because Netanyahu talked about dismantling Hamas as the goal of the war. He didn’t promise anything regarding the demand to return the hostages. He merely said a military operation in Gaza was needed to serve as leverage for the hostages’ release.
“We later found out that Hamas had offered on October 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the government rejected the offer.”

When has Netanyahu indicated that there would be a permanent ceasefire if Hamas just returned the hostages? The primary goal has always been the elimination of Hamas.
