Things seem to have moved after the Cabinet meeting this morning, but there are some pretty big caveats:

[The announcement] will stipulate the need for the release of all the hostages still held by Hamas and be based on a guarantee the terror group no longer rules Gaza, sources say.

Also made me wonder how Starmer’s conversation with Trump went yesterday. Not good?

    and you still don’t see my point - calling them hostages when they are actually pows is a thing because it delegitimizes the struggle hamas has in booting zionists out of palestine. call them what they are: pows.

    heck if only because israeli adults are conscripted military assets anyway.

      But not all the hostages were adults, nor were they even all Israelis, conscripted or not.

        cool. the point still stands. hamas is not holding “hostages” if israel is holding “prisoners.”
