What about the remaining hostages?

Under what circumstances are the remaining 130 or so hostages held underground by Hamas in Gaza going to be released? Right now the war is back in full swing, and Israel's negotiators in Qatar have been withdrawn. So there seems little prospect of a new round of hostage-releases in the near future. This is terrible news for the hostages who are being held in poor conditions and with limited food, and for the hostage families who are getting more and more desperate for the return of their loved ones. As I have written before, Israel cannot advance its battle aims at the same time as negotiate freedom for the men, women and children still being detained. Israel has chosen to return to airstrikes and ground operations, so the war cabinet clearly decided it was time to pummel Hamas for a period, perhaps to encourage them to release hostages. I suspect that's a false logic. Hamas is more likely to drop any plans to free more hostages and will just focus on firing rockets into Israel. This is an organisation designated by the US, UK and others as terrorists. So, like other terrorists, they are not given to acts of humanity. It's not in their DNA. They have only released hostages so far to get a quid pro quo from Israel, ie hundreds of Palestinian prisoners released from Israeli jails. So Hamas is never going to free more hostages while Israel is launching airstrikes. I fear some of the hostages will never be freed.
