JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Hamas said Wednesday it is prepared for a “comprehensive deal” to release the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners — a statement swiftly rejected by Israeli leaders.

The terror group’s remarks came after President Donald Trump publicly called for the hostages’ release.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office dismissed the offer as “another attempt by Hamas to spin the situation,” reiterating that Israel’s war in Gaza would not end without the release of all hostages, the disarmament of Hamas, the establishment of a civilian-led government in Gaza, and continued Israeli security control of the territory.

“Hamas continues to deceive and issue empty words, but it will soon understand that it must choose between two options,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said. “Accepting Israel’s conditions to end the war, first and foremost, the release of all hostages and disarmament, or Gaza City will become like Rafah and Beit Hanun. The IDF is fully prepared.”

Israel has long insisted that negotiations cannot move forward while Hamas retains its military capabilities and holds hostages.

Ya for sure bring them home , but don’t keep any agreement with Hamas , you can’t trust them, you have to wipe them out completely, and they are not worthy of any deal , israel should not honor any deal with them.

They’re right.
May God give them wisdom and strength to do what is right.
Cut off ALL of gazas water, electricity, and gas. Cut off all cell phone and phone systems so they can’t communicate!
Bomb their roads to make them unaccessable, make it impossible to even live in the streets and homes.
Let them BEG us for mercy!
Reestablish gaza all Jewish with a flourishing sea port! Gaza is Historically Jewish Land given to the Jewish People by God himself, don’t be foolish and act like a turtle, putting your heads in your shell
