This is true. And so obvious that I've been left believing that getting the hostages back isn't a particularly high priority.Bombing the shit out of the very place where the hostages are located is just as likely to get them killed as getting them released.
You say this like it's simple. Or at least feasible. I don't think it's even possible.How about the old-fashioned way of negotiating?
I don't think that there's anyone in Gaza who has the authority to negotiate much less willingness much less credibility.
The October 7 attack looks like "suicide by cop" to me. A hopeless attempt to go out with a bang, knowing how utterly self destructive it is. Then holding on to the hostages while Gazans die by the thousands. I see absolutely no chance that anybody in Gaza is willing and able to negotiate. I think that the hostages are doomed because they were abducted by cold blooded killers who don't even care about Gazans.
