Why would anyone think there are any hostages held by HAMAS that are still alive?
HAMAS was created by the "Palestinians of Gaza", who are not really "Palestinians", or have any ligament claim on land anywhere, certainly not in Gaza.
The "Palestinians of Gaza" are criminal Terrorists who created the militant organization HAMAS, and then supported a genocidal, "From the River to the Sea", attack on Israel. There is not a single "Palestinian" who is a victim, or innocent, not even the children.
That does not mean that ALL "Palestinians" deserve to die, only MOST of them.
That does not mean that ALL Israeli's are victims or innocent, only MOST of them.
IMHO, in the Oct7 attacks, the "Palestinians" forever sacrificed the right to live in Gaza.
The "Palestinians" can leave Gaza, or they can die.
