An estimated 63 hostages are still alive inside Gaza after they were

believed to still be alive.

Note that Israel is also demanding the bodies of those no longer

burial and are unlikely to get it in Gaza.

As for HAMAS - by NOT immediately releasing American hostages they're
demonstrating they're complete idiots. I know they want the
destruction of ALL Jews - not just Israelis - but I'm pretty sure
Uncle Sam has different opinions on that particularly with respect to
Americans.

My thoery is that they're dead and HAMSAS is stalling so they can use the
hostages as a bargaining chip.

I really don't think he will, but I could see Trump sending a list
with all American hostages saying they have 24 hours to release them
all to US custody or he would demand a war declaration from Congress
as one of his first official acts.

I think he already did issue a statement.
