Good luck with that! Hamas does not seem to accept yet that the entire operation Israel launched to clean up Gaza will not end until Hamas is eliminated as a governing and militant entity in Gaza. No other ending is acceptable; Hamas is not going to be part of any future post-war deal. Ismail Haniyeh says any Gaza deal that excludes Hamas will be rejected Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said that any post-war deals must include the group as Israel sent a delegation to Cairo to discuss the invasion of Rafah. https://www.newarab.com/news/haniyeh-says-any-gaza-deal-excludes-hamas-unacceptable
Israel recovers three more bodies of hostages murdered by Hamas. Bodies of Three Israeli Hostages, Including Woman Infamously Abused After Her Murder, Recovered by IDF https://www.mediaite.com/news/bodie...sly-abused-after-her-murder-recovered-by-idf/ The Israel Defense Forces have recovered the bodies of three dead hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 — 22-year-old Shani Louk, 28-year-old Amit Buskila, and 56-year-old Itshak Gelernter — according to an IDF spokesman. Photographs and video of Louk’s twisted, mostly unclothed body being paraded around after the attack were among the defining images in the wake of October 7. “Shani Louk, Amit Buskila and Yitzhak Gelernter were kidnapped and murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7 from the Nova Music Festival. Overnight, our troops recovered their bodies and brought them back home to Israel. We will continue operating to bring all of our hostages,” read the IDF’s statement on the matter. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also released the following statement: “My wife Sara and I grieve with the families, we will return all of our hostages — living and deceased alike. I congratulate our brave forces who, with determined action, returned our sons and daughters home.” According to The Jewish Chronicle, Buskila spoke with her uncle on the phone on October 7, telling him that she was hiding but that Hamas was closing in on her position. She later said that she had been shot and told him “I’m dying, I love you.” All three were taken from the Supernova music festival in Southern Israel where Hamas carried out a devastating massacre. The IDF estimates that 128 hostages remain in Hamas’ hands. One hundred and twelve hostages taken on October 7 have been returned alive by Hamas, 105 of those as as part of an agreement between it and the Israeli government. The two sides have been negotiating over another potential deal to secure the release of more hostages, but have for months failed to reach an agreement.

Just a reminder to protestors on campuses -- Hamas believes that all western women who do not wear a hijab should be raped and murdered. Chilling Hamas video of female Israeli soldiers on Oct. 7 is a ‘wakeup call to the world,’ dad says https://nypost.com/2024/05/22/world...ldier-says-video-is-wakeup-call-to-the-world/ The harrowing new video of Hamas terrorists taunting five female Israeli soldiers with rape before abducting them to Gaza should serve as a “wake up call to the world” to end the hostages’ nightmare, the father of one of the young women says. Shlomi Berger said he was shocked at the footage from a Hamas bodycam showing his bloodied daughter Agam Berger, 19, and four other soldiers handcuffed in their pajamas and surrounded by dozens of Hamas terrorists who took over the Nahal Oz base in southern Israeli. “This is a wakeup call to the world: look what we’re dealing with,” Shlomi told The Post. “You saw how many terrorists were in that video. “You only see three minutes, but we know that they sat in the same place for two or three hours, and in front of their eyes they saw their friends that were murdered, on the floor,” he added. Berger, who watched the video in April and joined other hostage families in approving its release on Wednesday, said it was evident just how terrified his daughter and the other young women were by the terrorists, especially after they were threatened with rape. “When they said, ‘You are pretty,’ and ‘I can get you pregnant,’ I don’t know what a young girl who is hearing this is thinking,” the heartbroken father said. “It’s crazy as a father that my girl is in that situation and I can’t help her. I can’t do anything to help her.” (More at above url including pictures and video clips)
