In my opinion: The only card Hamas has are the hostages. If they want to continue to play sick games as forcing starving and tortured hostages into public stages or even worse, threatening to break the agreement, Israel should state it’s conditions and open war until these are met.

Trump does not equivocate when it comes to the hostages being brutalized in the Hamas terror dungeons. Why was Biden unable to do the same thing?

If Trump was competent this would be where he makes Hamas and Israel make secrect compromise and vastly increase the hostages released.
Feel skeptical that is what is going to happen after his Trump plan disaster though.

Are the hostages even relevant? The stated goal of Israel and America is the complete annexation of Gaza and the expulsion of its citizens. Hamas doesn’t really have anything left to lose now.

It’s time to abandon the false belief that the war goal of eliminating Hamas and creating a sustainable peace should take a back seat to the return of hostages.
It’s hard to accept, but the good of the State must come before the potential rescue of ~100 hostages who are being starved and brutalized. Any utilitarian analysis supports this. It’s time for total war.

Some context for this crazy day so far: Hamas has been threatening to delay the release of the hostages, breaking the agreement.
In return the IDF went into high alert and all vacations were cancelled. With Israel threatening that it is prepared for every scenario.
And just now Trump said that should Hamas not release the hostages by mid-day Saturday, the cease fire should stop.
From earlier today: [Hamas suspends hostage releases, blames Israel for ‚breaches‘](https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/02/10/hamas-suspends-hostage-releases-blames-israel-for-breaches/)
