Hamas has partially refused a list of hostages that Israel demands be freed in the initial phase of any ceasefire agreement, according to a report from the Kan public broadcaster.

The report, which cites a Palestinian source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, indicates that while Hamas is ready to free 22 of the 34 hostages Israel seeks to release, it is not willing to release the remaining 12.

In response, the report explains that Hamas proposed releasing 22 living hostages along with 12 bodies during the first phase of a potential agreement. However, Israel rejected this offer, firmly stating that only living hostages would be accepted in the first stage of the release and ceasefire deal.

The report did not elaborate on which hostages Hamas is said to be refusing to release. However, it was noted that earlier this month, the Egyptian media outlet Al-Ghad reported that Israel had requested the release of 11 men it considers soldiers, who Hamas categorizes as fighters. According to Hamas terrorists, all Israeli men of military age are deemed soldiers.

  1. As long as brain-dead Biden is in the WH, expect US to respect Hamas opinions and demands. Trump would speak differently. Hamas needs to hear a simple message. No hostages or bodies may be held by Hamas or other terrorists. We, the US, will seek immediate eradication and extermination of anyone involved in such terror actions. Any excuses for taking hostages are null and void, and will not be recognized by America or Israel. As far as the expectations of Hamas for release of terrorists, the answer is zero. Furthermore, those that Hamas hoped to have released, one will be eliminated every day until all hostages are released unharmed.

    These subhuman savages do not understand diplomacy, and all breath expended in negotation with them is wasted. They don’t understand anything but the sword. It’s pathetic that Democrats don’t understand this simple thing. That’s why all Middle East affairs were horrible under Democrat presidents for years.

    • The DamocRats are in cahoots with the terrorist. They are the ones who gave them money to do this. They are constantly giving more money and ammunition hidden in “humanitarian aid”.
      Rest assured, Hashem will avenge the blood on their hands in due time.
