First condition for the deal: a list of hostages from Hamas Israel today. Obtaining information about the abductees will ease the ongoing torture of the families and make it difficult for Hamas to eliminate their part at a later stage.
The kidnapping of civilians and soldiers by Hamas constitutes a war crime of hostage-taking. The goal is to remove abductees from the protection of the law, and as part of a systematic and wide-ranging plan aimed at the civilian population. Israel must press all the relevant parties to obtain full details of abductees - and immediately.
