"SNIP..........

“Israel has given Hamas a proposal through Qatari and Egyptian mediators that includes up to two months of a pause in the fighting as part of a multi-phase deal that would include the release of all remaining hostages held in Gaza,” Axios reports.

“While the proposal doesn’t include an agreement to end the war, it is the longest period of ceasefire that Israel has offered Hamas since the start of the war.”

1. "We've killed 25,000 of you so far, give us back our people and we'll stop killing you for two months".

3. Some of those 25,000 are Hamas. Like 6000. So it

is more like 19,000 civilians. Still horrific.

2. I am appalled by the number of people saying Hamas should reject the deal and not give up their leverage (the hostages).

No more lives should be lost or endangered on either side; but it is some dark and twisted reasoning to equate releasing hostages as ceding an advantage.

4. I don't believe there are any hostages left alive!!!

They don't need them to be alive. They have all the videos made with no dates. A live hostage is just a burden now, and they will tell what has been happening to them if they are released.

Come on, now....
