Hamas tells negotiators it doesn’t have 40 Israeli hostages needed for first round of

[Guno צְבִי]

Hamas has indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the discussions, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than are publicly known.

The framework that has been laid out by negotiators says that during a first six-week pause in the fighting, Hamas should release 40 of the remaining hostages, including all the women as well as sick and elderly men. In exchange, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners would be released from Israeli prisons.

Hamas has told international mediators – which include Qatar and Egypt - it does not have 40 living hostages who match those criteria for release, both sources said.

Some of the hostages were reportedly sexually abused and then perhaps murdered.

BUT BUT BUT...the Palestinian children

I don't know how MAGA feels about it, but I can be both simultaneously disgusted by the depravity of Hamas, and concerned about harm to civilians.

I start from the premise that Israel has a right to self defense, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about other issues of morality.
