@sfrantzman: “In the days leading up to today’s hostage release, Hamas threatened the foundation of the ceasefire deal, once again illustrating the group’s cynical and exploitive attempts to derail negotiations and project power. President Donald Trump is correct in insisting that all hostages be returned, not just three at a time. Unless Hamas is deterred, it is likely to continue its attempts to manipulate the terms of the deal.”
