Releasing the hostages won’t stop anything. The IDF was headshotting children before October 7th.
According to this, Hamas rejected proposition by Israel on march 1. Which then triggered Israel.
Seventeen days later? I don’t think you can call that a “trigger”
Fact is, Israel has been violating the ceasefire since the beginning according to the reports I’ve been reading.
Hamas shouldn’t even have the hostages, but stealing a few hundred people is nothing compared to the way Israel bullies Gaza. Now they’ve got the hostages, they’ve lost any moral high ground anyway, so they’re going to use them to the best tactical, strategic and diplomatic advantage they can. It’s the smart thing to do. It’s not the right thing to do, but I think everyone lost all hope of either side doing something right a long time ago.
It will change what many people think about Hamas.

Israel released 2000 people for just 33. This shows the hostages are meaningful to Israel. Thinking “there is no point in releasing hostages” is not smart.

Hamas would violate them too if they could. Ceasefires can’t be ideal when both sides hate each other so much.

How many people already died in bombings? Did it worth the 2000 of people released by Israel? Or 4000 more people they could possibly release for the remaining hostages?
Smart things to do? Hamas are not smart in my eyes. Instead of caring about Palestinians and building defenses, they built rockets and tunnels for useless attacks. They are neither good tacticians, nor good strategists, nor good diplomats.
Even if I forget how “smart” the October attack was, not releasing hostages when being told “release them or we will kill you” is not a smart thing to do, if you really care about your own life and the life of Palestinians.
