When is Israel going to release the thousands of Palestinian hostages they have in “administrative detention” that have not been accused of any crimes? hrw.org/…/why-does-israel-have-so-many-palestinia…
The side that’s a recognized country with their own standing military and also the backing of the largest military in the universe while holding hostages 200:1 gets to answer first.
Nonsense. The Israelis have worked with the Red Cross on hostage release in the past. They are an intermediary in the process, a role the Red Cross has taken since WWI. And, Hamas is the first to refuse their reviewing hostages and prisoners.
I honestly don't think they know, not for all of them at least. The bombing has likely disrupted their communications with various regions that their groups are residing in and any groups that stopped reporting in makes it unclear if they all died and whether the hostages died with them.
Additionally, we already know that there were a number of other groups involved on October 7th that weren't Hamas and they each kidnapped a handful of hostages. I don't know if Hamas is able to get info from those other groups on the status of things.
You mean the zero evidence Israel has presented to back up any of their UNRWA helping Hamas claims?
Diplomats who saw the OIOS preliminary report said it contained no new evidence from Israel since the initial presentation of the claims in January – which were not backed by any proof. In summarising the findings, the UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, confirmed that the investigation had yet to receive corroborating material from Israel.
zero looks different. Acting as if no such thing happened is extremely odd given the large amount of people working there. The Economist gets it right:
It is hardly surprising that some members of an organisation that has been embedded in Gaza so deeply and for so long have links to Hamas. But that defence of UNRWA in turn raises difficult questions about whether it is sufficiently neutral, transparent and accountable.
Video of the university being blown up, a clearly very controlled explosion where the IDF easily walked into rooms and placed explosives. Not something people would do when “endangered by Hamas tunnels”.
Here’s an article with a video of an AP journalist grilling the US state dept on this 1 month ago
Gonna need to split out the links for the video and article at the end. You’ve put two links and at least Jerboa just doesn’t do anything when you click the link.
For the lazy:
Whoops thanks for the correction. I initially placed the video but later found the full article which was more fitting. I did not edit my comment correctly.
