    Is there any source for that idea, or that this is actually happening? The only source for this article are US officials, who are full-throated allies of Israel, so there likely could be a bias. Telegraph is widely known as biased.

      I’m just saying that a group that has taken ACTUAL hostages certainly isn’t above using foreign nationals as quasi-hostages to pressure other countries to exert influence on Israel to get them to stop shelling Gaza.

      I have failed to find any statement made by Egypt to confirm this.
