Remember when the war was supposed to end when all the hostages were released?

I wonder what all the people who told me that the objective of this war was to free the hostages are going to tell me now?

    Is it ok to quote Khalil al-Hayya, senior Hamas official ?

    From Al Jazeera:

    Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the group’s political bureau, said that Hamas “is serious about releasing Israeli captives within the framework of an agreement” that also ensures the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

    So to summarize: The Palestinian prisoners are referred to as prisoners by Hamas. The non combatants taken hostage by Hamas are not referred to as prisoners by Hamas.

    Whether you think the terrorist organisation Hamas are paid off by Isreal or not is a different discussion that I’m not interested in taking part in.
