Hamas Says It Agrees to Release All Hostages in Gaza

[Tigerace117]

The Palestinians live there and know where they're at, for they're hiding them. Do we even know how many Hamas terrorists are in Gaza?

Oh really? Are you actually under the impression Hamas just goes around telling incredibly important intelligence to any random Palestinian?

 

[CaughtInThe]

They never lie.

 

[PeteEU]

Great, hope it goes to fruition.

It won't. Netanyahu needs the war to continue, and his political backers are against it the deal. This means he will find a way to break the deal and keep killing.

This ain't the first time Bibi has agreed to something and broke the deal almost instantly.

 

[Tigerace117]

There's not a militarized nation on this planet that wouldn't have done the same thing or even worse. Look at what we did after 9/11.

Gee dude, how’d that go for America again?

 

[Metric Mouse]

Amazing if true.

Hamas can't be trusted of course.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

In light of the preceding posts that I've read, ("orange man bad" can't ever do anything right type of posters), it's right on the money.

Feel free to frown though over the possibility of a Trump win if this peace agreement comes to fruition.

Petty, selfish nonsense.

If peace is achieved, it will not be a Traitor Trump “win”.

Trump gives Hamas a 'last chance' deadline to agree to a peace plan with Israel​

https://www.npr.org/2025/10/03/nx-s1-5561801/trump-hamas-israel-gaza-peace-plan-deadline

President Trump has given Hamas until Sunday evening to respond to the ceasefire deal the White House proposed earlier this week, which Israel has agreed to.

In a post to Truth Social on Friday morning, Trump said he was giving Hamas a "last chance," or Hamas fighters would be "quickly extinguished." The deadline comes just days before the second anniversary of the conflict.

"If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

What, is he going to issue a 2 week ultimatum?

 

[beancounter]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Unarmed Palestinians at that.

Poor bastards. Probably listened to all that "a gun is more likely to kill its owner" stuff.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

Hamas said 'yes, but'. Not sure what Trump is looking to pull here, but as long as they don't agree to the proposal in its full form, including the disarming of this terrorist organization and the release of all hostages within 72 hours of the agreement becoming effective, then it's pretty much the same as saying no. They need to surrender, give back the hostages living and deceased, and agree to a different regime taking over in Gaza.

and then what? Donny's Gaza Riviera, with the Gazans removed to gawd knows where?
Besides killing them, what is your option? Camping on the beach for tens years while the unexploded ordinance is removed along with the concrete and rebar from the homes of 2.3 million?

This is in response to a proposal from president Trump.​

Nope.

I know many detest him, and love to call him "I know you are but what am I" childish names, but regardless, if this works, his peace plan, he gets the credit.
That's the way it works in the real world, anyway.

HAMAS now pushing back on the 72 hour deadline, and trying to get out from under observation before it "disarms".

Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk tells Al Jazeera that Hamas accepts in principle the main facets of the US plan for ending the Gaza war, but he argues that the proposal’s “implementation requires negotiation.”

He takes particular issue with the plan’s envisioning of the release of all remaining hostages within 72 hours, calling it “unrealistic under the current circumstances.” The terror group has, in the past, told Arab mediators that it doesn’t know where some of the bodies of slain hostages are located and that it may take some time to deliver all of them back to Israel.

It is unclear whether the US is interested in holding additional talks or whether it expects Hamas to accept the proposal as is.

Parts of the 20-point plan are indeed vague enough that subsequent talks would have been required regardless. For example, the plan states that Israeli forces “will withdraw to the agreed-upon line” upon the sides’ acceptance of the proposal, without specifying where that line is or whether it still needs to be negotiated. It is possible that it is referring to the illustrative map demarcating the phased withdrawal of Israeli troops, but the image doesn’t appear to be created to exact scale.

Marzouk says the US plan’s envisioning of the creation of an international stabilization force to replace the IDF in Gaza “requires clarification.”

Marzouk also tells Al Jazeera that Hamas will not disarm before the Israeli “occupation” ends, reiterating that issues regarding Gaza’s future should be discussed within a comprehensive Palestinian national framework, which Hamas will be part of. He says that another round of negotiations needs to be held regarding Hamas’s weapons.​

Though typically by "Israeli occupation", HAMAS means "Israel's existence".

The bodies thing is plausible, given the chaos HAMAS has been through, organizationally, over the past two years, even if they are major assets to the organization.

As for the disarmament..... I am very skeptical HAMAS actually intends to give up power and would expect them to try to maintain weapons if they can negotiate opportunity to do so with (regardless of what they say).

We will see how it plays out.

We shall see, and you certainly have the street cred to the reality of the situation.
I like your idea as to what Hamas needs to do. Seems a bit unlikely because as you said.

 

[Spock]

Yes, that is possible. Guess we'll find out Sunday night into Monday morning. Can't trust a word from Hamas, they are just liars, murderers, and terrorists hiding amongst the Palestinians. Never can understand why the Palestinians just don't fight against Hamas to rid themselves of all the problems, destruction, and death. I haven't forgotten them dancing in the streets on the night of Oct. 7th.

Hamas and Trump are actually quite similar when you think about it.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Nope.

Absolutely.

We’ve seen this show before.

Traitor Trump claims all of the credit when anything good happens, even when he has zero or very minimal personal involvement.

Traitor Trump takes no responsibility at all when anything that he’s involved in goes to shit.

That's the way it works in the real world, anyway.

Only in MAGAt world, @trixare4kids.

 

[Spock]

Israel has already proven “surrender” to be pointless by continuing attacks on Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.

Nope. The goal of Israel has been to exist. Until terrorist intent to destroy Israel is curtailed, there will always be war in the Middle East. Hamas surrender, unconditionally, would go a long way toward promoting peace.

Israel doesn’t give a shit about “the hostages” and never has.

a bombastic generalization without evidence and inconsistent with reality.
I'm sure that Israel and Israelis care about the Hamas hostages at least as much as Palestinians care about those imprisoned by Israel.

 

[Spock]

I look forward to Trump slipping up and blaming any peace in Gaza on Biden.

The goal of Israel has been, from day one, to expand at all costs. It’s why Ben-Gurion tried to grab the Sinai in the Suez Crisis. Israel has proven “surrender” means nothing to them, and therefore there is no reason whatsoever to surrender.

Should the Polish Resistance have surrendered to the Third Reich? Would that have “gone a lot way towards promoting peace”?

No nation that cares about hostages carries out an indiscriminate bombing campaign without having any idea where the hostages actually are.

 

[ElChupacabra]

It appears to be so, and it's also good for all who have been affected by the war Hamas started, but not to hear our resident anti-Trumpers whine about it.

Such sad faces.

I sure hope Grok is paying you, but then again we do have the Zerohedge spammer who doesn't seem to be getting paid for his work either.

 

[ElChupacabra]

This. As well as Israel holding to their end of it. The current government is interested in the land without the people on it. Of course this changes nothing for what's going on in the West Bank either, so there will be much to keep an eye on over the next few months should this deal work out.

 

[Integrityrespec]

How many times did your dad teach you to kick someone's teeth in while they are down? (rhetorical question)

What is the end goal of this fight? How do you define the moment to walk away? Is it just to cast wrath on Hamas and those in the area trying to live on increasingly encroached and invaded homes forever? Oct 7th was horrific. Punishment should be shift to be effective, otherwise it seems like dragging it out for the **** of it.

Stop the will they wont they, go in with forces and raid them top to bottom and shot on sight anyone with a gun. Much more of a mercy to end Hamas this way than not knowing when the fight is done and a lifetime Indian rug burn burns the one giving it too eventually

My dad was a believer in not starting fights, but always ending them. Hamas started this with their brutal attack on Oct 7th. They, Hamas, needs to be eliminated so they can never do this again. If you let them walk away can you be sure they will not return?

I agree. That is step 1 though and we are in like 4-5. So what do we do at step 10? I agree, eliminate them.

Do it

When is the fight ending? I'd like it done and over, kick in their teeth, get out. This slow burn is more American way of doing things. Long form torture as justice over quick lessons. Justifying a position and not much doing anything to commit enough to accomplish those goals.

 

[Toggle Almendro]

So, the hostages released, and then what? Does anyone here with an ounce of sagacity believe Hamas won't take an lull in fighting to regroup, re-arm, and recruit new followers?
THEY play the long game. They won't launch another attack next year or the year after, but they will launch another attack on Israel.

Israel won't be so gentle next time.

Plus I am not convinced the hostages will be released just because Hamas says so.

Me either. But I think Israel should pursue this just in case it does work out.

 

[Integrityrespec]

Gee dude, how’d that go for America again?

Last i checked we are still standing.
