    Hamas won’t even confirm the hostages and their status. The Cartels confirm hostages and their status when negotiating.

      Why would they give away any information? If israel wants their hostages back alive they should try not bombing and starving them to death.

        Because that’s the standard Hostage taking behavior.

          according to who lmao

          This is a war, not some fancy anime with rules and regulations. Even the geneva conventions become nothing more than a suggestion when the goal is to win.

          I still remember when people here were trying to explain that the war would magically end if Hamas released all the hostages because that’s definitely how geo-power works.

            It’s called proof of life. It’s a common thing in hostage taking; because dead hostage aren’t worth as much as live ones.
