        Conditioned on the full withdrawal and release of all Hamas prisoners.

        Not exactly an offer made in good faith. Just propaganda, and apparently it worked on you.

          yes releasing captured soldiers is always a condition; keeping them is called a war crime (see gitmo)

            Soldiers wear uniforms. Hamas scumbags wear civilian clothing to blend in which causes an increase in civilian casualties. Which is the reason why non-uniformed combatants don’t get the same protections under international law as unformed combatants do.

        Israel didn’t like the terms and they have most of the leverage, Anthony Blinken said there were a lot of “non-starters” in the offer. What exactly those were I don’t think has been made public.
