The Thai government has called for the release of all remaining citizens being held in Gaza. So far at least 33 Thai nationals have been killed, according to figures shared by Thai authorities with CNN – with 18 Thai nationals still being held hostage as of October 26.
Hamas could achieve a cease-fire right now by releasing the hostages. But then they would have to account for the ones they have already murdered.

stop caring for downvotes on this topic. this discussion has lost its objectivity a long time ago and the current meta is that israel is bad and should somehow bow to terrorism.
I don’t know why though 😅

Because I can.
Lol, lets just assume for simplicity this is exactly what Hamas demands:
Cease-Fire agreement if we release the Hostages
Israel doesn’t care, they already killed several hostages in the bombing runs. Hell the US probably had to tell them to hold back to give them more time for negotiations. They will not accept any agreement with Hamas, so the only thing Hamas would accomplish releasing the Hostages with no agreement would be an instant full invasion.
Moreover, the actual demands from Hamas are basically cease fire + release arrested hamas members in exchange for hostages. Surprisingly, I don’t think they actually made one of those impossible demands like “cease the existence of Israel’s government”
The reason Hamas is trickling out hostages is because unlike Israel, every other nation does care about the hostages, especially the international ones. Hamas knows this, and can use it as leverage to force Israel to either slow down, stop, or eventually negotiate some sort of agreement. The most important one obviously being the American hostages because the USA has direct military involvement and leverage over Israel.
Whether or not it works is a different story.

That’s a lot of down votes for an honest statement
you’re on lemmy, what do you expect?
It’s quite interesting looking at Lemmy and then going back and looking at Reddit. The latter is taking IDF’s words as gospel, and the former likes to pretend Hamas and their atrocities don’t exist.
Flitting between the two actually helps cancel out the absurd bias.
Hamas will only release the hostages in exchange for all Palestinians in Israeli jails
