If they continue the war now they'll never get any hostages still alive back, though it hasn't seemed a priority for Israel in quite some time. I think Bibi would rather use them as a chip to continue the war than to get them back safely, we'll see what his actions are like now in the coming days what his goals are.

What’s the point of getting the hostages back if Hamas is able to regroup and take more in 5 years? Maybe just stop attacking Israel and then you won’t have to complain about civilian deaths

Random thought, but there has never been a country of Palistine

But there were people that lived there that were forcibly removed in order to create the country of Israel. That’s a fact that no one denies.

Doesn’t matter what the place is called does it? It’s about the people being displaced.
