A group of 45 American physicians and nurses who volunteered in hospitals across Gaza are sharing their experiences and demanding an immediate ceasefire and arms embargo.
Israel has always conditioned the return of the hostages by Hamas with “We get to keep killing ‘Hamas’ if we want to after the deal.” Which is not a ceasefire.
You can’t tell the side you’re negotiating with to give you what you want and offer nothing, that’s not how negotiation works. Hamas has offered the return of the hostages at every negotiation, it’s literally the only leverage they have.

Several deals have offered pullouts back to the '67 borders contingent upon return of the hostages. We (the US) strong-armed Israel into offering these deals. They’ve been categorically rejected.
Hamas has demanded the right to keep hostages indefinitely a.k.a. slavery. If one side is demanding the right to own slaves, maybe they’re the bad side.
