If Hamas releases the hostages, obviously, Israel should guarantee to withdraw its troops from Gaza because it’s their territory.

Another common leftist posting here has been debunked:

“Woodruff posted an apology to X expressing regret for reporting this week that in a phone call, Trump urged Netanyahu to delay a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas until after the 2024 presidential election to benefit him politically.

"This was a mistake and I apologize for it," Woodruff wrote. “

Hostages will be freed if Gaza gets a permanent ceasefire and full IDF withdrawal .

Even Israeli press saying Netanyahu doesnt want a ceasefire or even progress in negotiations.

Israeli negotiators saying the same.

Times of Israel is a good source for info.

A large part of Israeli society want to retake Gaza for Israel to build "settlements by the sea '

Some real estate groups have already designed land area where condos would be built.

And never forget Netanyahu's "no Palestinian State while I am PM "

How could anyone expect good faith negotiations from Israel.

Bibi is never going to agree to anything, and Hamas knows it.

Hamas will be a fool to negotiate with this war criminal.

Israel and it's backer are playing a deadly game at the cost of human lives on both sides hoping that by prolonging the genocide Hamas will crumble, but it hasn't happened yet in fact the opposite.

Peace can be achieved if and when Bibi is put behind bars.

It seems that all that should matter is getting the hostages out. Netanyahu doesn't seem to care and Hamas is cruelly keeping them as playing cards. Whoever gets them out (the ones who are still living) will be the one with the most class, even if it's a commando force from Scotland.

It seems that all that should matter is getting the hostages out.

But why were the hostages taken in the first place? Why not also address that?

“In what world do families have to beg and cry for the return of their family members alive and murdered?” Esther Buchshtab, the mother of one, 35-year-old Yagev Buchshtab, asked at his funeral Wednesday.

Easy answer: the world that Americans and the Jews (and bit players from Britain and Germany) have made since 1947. All the killings and land theft by Israelis since then had been silenced by western politicians and media until the October 7 military operation of Hamas and Netanyahu's "Amalek" war of annihilation finally opened the can of poisonous worms on the world, now horrified witnesses to this ghastly "crime of the century" (so far).

Note that the details of Blinken's supposed deal makes his description of said deal worthy of the term 'alternative facts'.

Add in that the US has rushed warships and ammunition to the area, rather than hospital ships and humanitarian aid, and the purpose of the 'bridging proposal' becomes clear, bridging the gap between the awfulness of what the Netanyahu regime is doing and a reasonable sounding excuse to commit American lives to protecting such awfulness.

The origin of the story was the "New Republic". PBS and other media covered it. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu deny any such conversation took place and Woodruff from PBS apologized for publishing the story. The allegations however cannot be proved or disproved. It seems pretty clear that Mr. Netanyahu is resisting a cease fire agreement for his own personal political reasons. Mr. Netanyahu has never in his life been an honest or honorable man. And the same is true of Mr. Trump. They were both torn from the same wretched piece of cloth.
