Noa Tishby Instagram – Hamas is using the bodies of hostages in order to buy time and tighten their control over Gaza. Meanwhile, they’re slaughtering their own people. This is not just horrific and sadistic, this is a blatant violation of the ceasefire deal.
Since October 10th when the entire Middle East signed off on President Trump’s peace plan, Hamas has done what Hamas always does, which is break its word. They delayed the release of hostages, they fired RPGs at Israeli soldiers, and they executed Palestinians in Gaza that they deemed traitors.
While hostage families wait anxiously, Hamas plays games. They claim not to know where the remaining hostages are, but we’ve seen the evidence. This week, drone footage exposed Hamas staging a fake discovery of a hostage body, burying it, then pretending to find it for the Red Cross. This is deliberate. It’s part of their plan.
Now here’s the thing. Phase 1 of the deal calls for the release of all 48 hostages, 20 alive and 28 dead. Phase 2 of Trump’s peace plan calls for Hamas to be disarmed and removed from power. Hamas does not want to get to phase two, and now they’re trying to stall, buying time and trickling back hostages. They’re trying to regain control over Gaza, slaughtering their own people to get there and terrorizing Israelis who are waiting for their loved ones. This is a violation of the deal.
We can’t go back to square one. President Trump knows this. Our neighbors, our entire region knows this, and Israel knows this too. If Hamas keeps violating the ceasefire, Israel will once again be forced to fight this war that she didn’t want, didn’t start, but has to win.
The international pressure must be put on Hamas to keep the ceasefire deal, release all the hostages, and move to phase two so we can finally start working towards peace in the Middle East. | Posted on 30/Oct/2025 17:38:41
