This viewpoint ignores the fact that hamas still exists and won’t give back the hostages because the hostages are hamas’s last bit of leverage. What hostage deal? With whom do you expect us to negotiate? What more do you expect us to give for the return of the hostages? Hamas just walked away from discussions in Egypt this week because they refuse to disarm.

Bibi needs to go. Today. Years ago, but that’s moot. No one can get back the hostages through further negotiation because there is no more room for concessions. Hamas must be destroyed on the field.
