@ Mr. Just Thinking, Israel should not make any deals with Hamas. 7 months ago the UN and the ICJ agreed that Hamas must release all the prisoners “immediately and unconditionally”. Hamas ignored this international decision and vowed that there will be more October 7’s.
Article 147 of the 1949 Geneva Convention IV identifies hostage-taking as a “grave breach”, a status that imposes obligations to provide effective penal sanctions for the offense and to search for and prosecute offenders (Article 146).
