I disagree with Scott Ritter's assessment that Hamas must release the remaining 53 hostages. The whole object of Al Aqsa Flood was to capture enough Israeli military POWs as currency in exchange for ALL Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. If Hamas were to release their captives does Scott honestly think Israel's aggression would stop? That's pretty naive of him, dontcha think?
As tragic as Israel's bloodthirsty genocidal campaigns in Gaza are, the alternative would be much worse - a Final Solution against an urnarmed and defenseless population with a toothless resistance. This is a non-starter for negotiations and Scott is smart enough to know this.
As I write in my pinned post, you can't make a deal with the devil because he is a deceiver by nature. By adhering to the terms of the ceasefire they expose Israel as the sole violator of the agreement, which even the Israeli public is now convinced of. By holding on to the remaining captives Hamas puts pressure on Netanyahu through the Israeli population and they maintain leverage in negotiations to further the deal. Hamas also can't break their promise to free all Palestinians from Israeli jails, which include resistance fighters and leaders.
Only way forward is MIL, there is no diplomatic way out. Evil must be defeated, it can't be reasoned with. Trump has no other option but to pursue this policy, so his best bet in resolving this in a military fashion is to antagonize the Arabs and Persians into dealing with Israel once snd for all.
