Hamas Agrees to Release Israeli Hostages if Plan Changes

Friday, October 03, 2025

Hamas has agreed to release all the remaining Israeli hostages but says it wants further negotiations on a number of key points outlined in the US peace plan.

In a statement, the group said it agreed "to release all Israeli prisoners, both living and dead, according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump's proposal" - if the proper conditions for the exchanges are met.

"The Hamas statement does not specifically mention or accept Trump's 20-point plan but says it "renews its agreement to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats), based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support."

However the statement makes no mention of one of the key demands of the plan " that Hamas agree to its disarmament and to playing no further role in the governance of Gaza."

Why should they Disarm?

Is Israel going to?

Dumb. Not Good Faith at All.

Israel just wants cover to keep the Ethnic Cleansing Alive and the Status Quo maintained.

Abject Surrender.

I think it's Unlikely.

So nothing is going to happen.

Israel just wants cover to keep the Ethnic Cleansing Alive and the Status Quo maintained.

Is this really a genocide, when the victim chooses for it to continue while waiting for the "proper" conditions for it to stop?

Yes, Nancy, it's really a genocide.

According to HRat, Trump jumped on this like it was from MickyD's, and told Israel to stop.

We'll see.

Trump Embraces the Dark Side

In today's news, Trump said there will be peace in the Middle East "one way or the other," followed by Hamas basically accepting his plan for Gaza.

This after Trump embraced the dark side in a series of posts on Truth Social which showed him leaving his plane to the music of "The Undertaker" (called "Rest in Peace"), and an AI video to the music of, "Don't Fear the Reaper."
