    It’s ongoing. Hamas is offering to release Americans. If Netanyahu refuses, it makes America look weak. If he agrees, it makes him look weak.

      As long as Hamas still has any hostages and is talking about how Israel/Jews must be eliminated (good luck changing their minds!), nobody will look weak.

      While the characterization isn’t entirely true, the generally accepted policy is to kill terrorists, not give them concessions after murdering and kidnapping people.
