Hamas has indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the discussions, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than are publicly known.
Why should over 13,000 dead Palestinian children be the “expected outcome” of far fewer dead Israelis and far, far fewer hostages? Because that still sounds like a justification.
