A vital point about the hostage situation

The family of a hostage of the Hamas makes clear that a ceasefire without release of prisoners would only spell doom for the Israeli hostages:

Omer’s mother appeared alongside his father and brother and pointed out that those protesting for Israel to simply stand down should remember the prisoners:

Bringing the hostages back should be the top priority. It should be the world’s top priority.

Everyone looking for de-escalation in the region should be opening the sentence saying, you know, “Release the hostages.”

Any demand of cease-fire without release of hostages is a death sentence to them.

Exactly. That's what the defenders of evil don't care about, and it's repulsive.
