They call those prisoners, guess most of them are counted as terrorists. But I would ignore that and assume they are simple Palestinians. It still doesn't change what I said. Israel released that many of them. They could refuse and proceed to bomb Gaza instead.

Hamas keeps its promises

Not true. Also saying some historical figure or a group always keeps their promises means you are biased.

I don't care about Jews or Nazis. Resistance can't work with what they have now. I will not support people who keep doing unnecessary things. I will not support Israel either for now. But there is logic in their actions at least. There is no logic in assuming the remaining hostages will help Hamas, unless they are released.

Those Nazi oppressors released 2000 people for just 33 hostages.

Israel took many released hostages back to the torture camp.

Oh really? Fine then. Let's say Israel will be doing it to 100% of people they release. Then what else could Hamas possibly achieve by still keeping the hostages?

There is no good faith with them.

I could say the same about Hamas.

Israel already said they would continue the genocide even if Hamas released their captives.

All the more reason to stop wasting resources on hostages.

Are those hostages made from gold or something? Why people seem to protect them from possible release? If it's so difficult to just release them - ask Hamas to kill them all. We know it won't change anything, right? But then they could concentrate on other things that are possibly more meaningful for their own survival.

Releasing the hostages won't stop anything.

It will change what many people think about Hamas.

The IDF was headshotting children before October 7th.

Israel released 2000 people for just 33. This shows the hostages are meaningful to Israel. Thinking "there is no point in releasing hostages" is not smart.

Seventeen days later? I don't think you can call that a "trigger"

Fact is, Israel has been violating the ceasefire since the beginning according to the reports I've been reading.

Hamas would violate them too if they could. Ceasefires can't be ideal when both sides hate each other so much.

so they're going to use them to the best tactical, strategic and diplomatic advantage they can. It's the smart thing to do.

How many people already died in bombings? Did it worth the 2000 of people released by Israel? Or 4000 more people they could possibly release for the remaining hostages?

Smart things to do? Hamas are not smart in my eyes. Instead of caring about Palestinians and building defenses, they built rockets and tunnels for useless attacks. They are neither good tacticians, nor good strategists, nor good diplomats.

Even if I forget how "smart" the October attack was, not releasing hostages when being told "release them or we will kill you" is not a smart thing to do, if you really care about your own life and the life of Palestinians.

that you deem acceptable

Releasing about 2000 people for 33 hostages is more than acceptable. Keeping remaining ~50 at this point is strange. "Keep bombing us, killing hundreds, but we will not release your 50 people (out of which you think only half are alive), we need you to... release more of our people" or what?

You are going to just accept it as is, wait until bombings will wipe out all of Gaza, but still tell how those 50 hostages are important for some bargaining?

Whatever they could theoretically gain for those remaining hostages (if they wanted that) is not worth the risk of further bombings. If anything, they waste resources on keeping them alive (if they really do that).

No idea where you get your news, but if you look at multiple sources from the time the ceasefire was signed (mid January), you'll see the terms of the ceasefire, and you'll see that Hamas did not break them.

According to this, Hamas rejected proposition by Israel on march 1. Which then triggered Israel. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/israel-gaza-ceasefire-talks-1.7472338

They would be crazy to give it up for free

They already released 33 of them, and had about 2000 prisoners released by Israel. Are you going to say "we need to still keep the remaining ones to make Israel release 2000 more" or are you going to say "the bombing casualties are big but they are less than 2000 so let's still keep the hostages", or I dunno, maybe "those prisoners are more valuable than hostages and any possible casualties"?

Israelis are protesting to get their prisoners back, not because they want to end the genocide and care about Palestinians. Plenty if polls have proven this.

Are prisoners supposed to fix that or what? What is the scenario where hostages are going to help in stopping the bombings, if they are not released? Israeli protests are going to make them stop? And after that, the protests will also stop? But the prisoners would still be there, right?

What about the rest of the protesters around the world? Do you not consider the possibility of those protesters to increase in numbers if there would be no hostages?

As much as I want to understand the point, I don't see how the remaining hostages are going to benefit Gaza. There are not enough of them. They are not worth it.

The OP image should have also highlighted the second paragraph.

Do we see any adequate attempts to do the bargaining though? Do we know that all the hostages are alive and well? Because having only a corpse of some hostage is not good for bargaining.

Yes, let's have those ~50 stay in an unknown state somewhere, and ignore the possibility of Israel bombings to cease or result in lesser casualties, in case those are released.

Thr arbiter, last I saw in the news, "gave the green light to Israel" because the hostages were not released.

Are there any pros for still keeping hostages? Those few dozens of people are not worth it. I'd say release them all just to prove a point that Israel won't stop. See what they will say in their public announcements next.

My problem with it, it's like WinRAR trial. I know I will never subscribe. Developers know I will never subscribe. They lost me as a potential customer when they refused to revise their pricing model. I switched to Jellyfin and will not go back to Emby. Guess a lot of people did the same, so I can say it's their own fault.

Emby subscription costs a lot even if you just want to use it on a home server. It can work without subscription but will display a warning before playback. Jellyfin is free.

And probably for the same reason. Bad education, that's what I think as a Russian.

Are you ok mate?

Here is an idea. Services that are proud of their user count tend to not hide real time data.

From what I see, there are no places where console networks share their data directly. It can only be found in financial reports or something.
