Israel and Pro Israeli US are now saying that Hamas and the Palestinian civilians must surrender, hand over the hostages, without Israel returning their prisoners (hostages) and allow themselves to be fully occupied by the Israeli army, then perhaps they (Israel) may let them live. No, there needs to be a prisoner exchange, a total withdrawal of Israeli forces and a credible roadmap to Palestinian Statehood. Anything less is a humiliating capitulation and decades more of armed resistance against these evil occupiers!
