Tragic news: According to Amichai Stein on Channel 12 Israel news, Hamas has told the mediators that it does not have 40 hostages in the humanitarian category that are still alive. That is a category of women, children, the elderly, and the sick. The number that they say is alive, which is significantly lower, has not been made public. This, of course, is a serious obstacle for the ceasefire talks that seem to be progressing.

Considering this tragic event, what steps do you think nations or organizations should take to prevent such outcomes in future conflicts?
@9LF378K2mos2MO
Its the most important because it tells you how you could stop it from happening to you.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
In situations of conflict, how important do you think it is to protect vulnerable groups like children and the elderly, and why?
@9LF3GZQIndependent2mos2MO
children, women and elderly come first
@9LF25C52mos2MO
I think that everyone should be protected

According to Barak Ravid, after Hamas informed Israel that it did not have 40 humanitarian hostages to release, Israel asked to make up the quota with men and soldiers.
In return, the Netanyahu government has agreed to make more concessions, such as offering more Palestinian prisoners and removing more barriers on the return of refugees in the south to northern Gaza. The move reflects increasing desperation to get a deal done.
@9LF5R2R2mos2MO
How many Palestinians have the Israeli army slaughtered over 70 years? More than forty. Get out of my face with this propaganda BS.
@TautH0u5eDemocrat2mos2MO
We knew this would happen. We knew this is why they refused to give proof of life, & stalled through Ramadan. This is sick, sick **** —& all while Hamas sits comfortably, fed, clothed, safe in Qatar & elsewhere.
The Israeli protests are about the HOSTAGES.
Hand of God in Rafah.
@MildHedgehogTranshumanist2mos2MO
I wonder what the situation was when the ICJ said to “release the hostages immediately and unconditionally”!
For sure they wouldn’t leave the women alive to talk about their abuse!
@LegislativeSamMountain2mos2MO
Then the only hostages left are soldiers. The question is 100 soldiers to protect the lives of thousands for the next 20 years.
@AdoringFreeTradeDemocrat2mos2MO
Explains why they don’t want to provide a list. It’s their responsibility under international law to keep them safe. They’ve certainly failed in their duty and in the law!
@NeedfulMandrillDemocrat2mos2MO
Please let this not be true. And if it is not true not bc they are trying to keep people indefinitely but bc it’s simply incorrect information. Please.
@BoastfulD3b4t3Veteran2mos2MO
They just want to keep some. It's not worth it, they're not dealing even in bad faith. Time to end the negotiations. There are plenty of Hamas targets in the Strip, even excluding Rafah.
@ContentSparrowRepublican2mos2MO
Then Rafah should proceed. Without question. Iran as well.
