    I really hope Egypt achieves this, but I have a feeling this exchange of hostages will also be quite disproportionate, with Israel releasing fewer than Hamas.

      Also like, what’s the point of the occupation “releasing” hostages if they’re just being released into a concentration camp where they will continue to suffer and risk death?

      I agree that the swap will be disproportionate, but Israel holds a hell of a lot more Palestinians than Hamas does.

      They’ll probably get most of the remaining Israeli hostages out for ‘many’ Palestinians. If it occurs, I’m predicting more Palestinians individuals released, but a smaller percentage of overall prisoners.
