Israeli official says Hamas doesn’t want to release remaining women because it doesn’t want them speaking publicly about what they endured on Oct. 7 and in their time in captivity

The temporary truce between Israel and Hamas broke down this week after the Palestinian terror group that rules Gaza refused to release 10 more female hostages, and instead sought to free abductees taken on October 7 from other categories, in violation of the agreement, Israeli officials said Friday.

The terms of the deal, brokered by Qatar, specified that Hamas would first release all women and children being held in Gaza and Israel would agree to a pause in fighting for up to 10 days, the Walla news site reported Friday, citing three Israeli officials.

Ahead of the eighth day of the truce, Hamas failed to propose a list of hostages set for release that would be acceptable to Israel in the final hours, as stipulated in the deal, and instead sent a message through Qatari and Egyptian mediators that it was prepared to release male hostages. Hamas had also proposed to release bodies of hostages it said were killed during captivity.

    It’s almost like one side is arresting specific people with handcuffs and eventually pressing actual charges instead of sending in a giant group of people to abduct as many people as possible.

      We call that an apartheid state. Framing laws to specifically target an ethnic group so you can expell and eradicate them. In the US we called them Jim Crow laws.

      What are you on about?

      One side has snatched up thousands from Israel, Gaza, West Bank and held them without trial.

            Again, arrested not abducted. They are going to an actual prison with actual charges applied eventually. Whether or not those charges are warranted is up for debate.

              No.

              Many of them never get charged, they just get taken and if they’re lucky a month or so later they’re dumped somewhere random.

                So arrested and released? Bruh. That makes what Hamas did even worse in comparison.

                  So far 1000 are still unaccounted for and 6 are confirmed dead.

                  Those recently released mention being tortured during their detainment.

      Alright, that is simply not true. Most of these people are held in “administrative detention” indifinetely and don’t even get to see a judge. When they get to see a judge, they end up in a military court for offences as simple as throwing rocks, and the punishments are disproportionately harsh. The conviction rate of these courts was at around 99.7% a few years ago. Don’t just take it from me, take it from Breaking the silence, an israeli NGO comprised of ex IDF soldiers that served in the occupied territories and are now speaking out.

        Dude, throwing stones at people is definitely an arrestable offense. If a group of people started to chuck rocks at me, I’d want them arrested. The fuck?

        I never said they were right or just charges just they do in fact get charged or released eventually. They aren’t literal fucking hostages with demands being made. Fucking christ I don’t really like Israel but all you people are dumb as fuck if you really think Hamas captivity is anyway comparable.
