    The war ends today if the hostages are released.

    Oh come on. It was never about the hostages. If anything, Netanyahu must have had a cramp trying to hold back a huge smile when he heard about the hostages. It is the perfect alibi to wage this war. He doesn’t want the hostages released, they are his best reason for the war. At least for starting it. It is obvious there is no intention to stop even if they will be released now. If I remember correctly, they suggested a two month ceasefire for all hostages. Not the end of the war. Just a short break, and God knows how likely it is to be broken.
