Israel on Saturday described as "propaganda" a claim by Hamas that the militant group had wanted to release two more hostages on humanitarian grounds but that Israel declined to receive them.
That site blocks my country. So I can’t read the article.
But yes everything in Gaza has danger. But they could publicize the fact that they’re dropping off at the Red Cross, post a video, live stream it, whatever. It would show the willing and it’s not dependent on Israel

Here’s the first 2 sentences.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) confirmed Wednesday that five staffers were killed in armed hostilities in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
“Today, in two different incidents, ambulances were hit killing four Palestine Red Crescent paramedics who were helping those in need,” IFRC said in a statement.
I understand it’s not the whole article but please try to extrapolate with the information given
Edit: Or like… you could def read enough from that URL that you could google it yourself if you actually cared…
Yes. I agree. It’s a war crime. It’s terrible. But it has nothing to do with Hamas releasing hostages. They could release them to the UN, or the Red Cross. The incumbent danger of the war zone doesn’t change. They could get the credit for releasing the hostages even if a bombing later destroys the Red Cross building.

You’re not giving an honest answer. How can you release a hostage to somewhere that isn’t safe? Why not just release them inside Gaza 2 minutes from the building where their being held? What if they get attacked on the way to release the hostage?
Your answer is cute and works for middle school dodgeball but doesn’t work in a world where governments actively engage in disinformation campaigns
They have the options of releasing hostages. They could live stream the entire thing. They could bring a reporter along. They could demonstrate their intention.
And yes there’s active bombings, but the probability is they would be able to make it to a UN compound, or the Red Cross.
The fact that they were able to release two hostages I believe it was yesterday, through the Red Cross, demonstrates they can.
I only take issue with the fact that they said they were unable to release hostages without Israeli support. Clearly that’s not true, as they demonstrated yesterday by the release of two hostages to the Red Cross
With what internet my guy? Gaza’s sole power station ran out of fuel on the 11th. Any backups are being used for hospitals.
They could bring a reporter along. They could demonstrate their intention.
Alright and what happens with the reporter, the red cross workers and the hostages are murdered in a knife attack 45 minutes after being dropped off by Hamas? Who are you blaming? Who is the global theater blaming? Realistically there is no live streaming anymore so if no one uploads the footage later how are you even gonna know this happened?

can != should. Could yesterday != can today.

They didn’t indicate they had Israeli support, the news article didn’t say it, and then Israeli government didn’t
But that’s immaterial, everything has risk. Everything. You might have a heart attack in the next 30 seconds. It’s just part of life. We do what we can within our bounds.
Pointing out that hamas is lying about needing Israeli permission to release hostages shouldn’t be a strong political take we have to debate forever.
