After 100 days of Israel Bombing Gaza, thousands of civilians died, no fuel, food, water, and moving million and a half from north to south and back after pulverizing half of the building in Gaza, still the hostages were not returned.
Not only that, but some hostages died and some got killed by the Israel forces "accidentally."
Israel choose not to have cease fire to get back the hostages since Hamas asked for the release of many Palestinians in Israel Prisons and more humanitarian supply to reach Gaza.
Many hostages were released earlier on a short period ceasefire, Why cant this happened on a longer time of peace.
Israel has a different goal other than the hostage's release........ Just a thought.
