Re: Israel mulling conditional release of 900 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 40 hostages

There must a joke in this proposed deal——

Hamas does not get to make deals— Netanyahu is correct, Hamas wants to exchange hostages for prisoners with blood on their hands.


Hamas does not get to make deals— as the UN and the ICJ clearly called for the “immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages” months ago. —Zero response

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)
