It’s just breaking in the last hour that Hamas has reportedly admitted that they can’t release the 40 hostages put forth in the latest ceasefire deal because most of them 136 hostages are already dead.

Here’s the report via OSINTdefender:

Hamas Negotiators have reportedly told International Meditators in Cairo that it has No Ability to Release the 40 Hostages in the Humanitarian Category (Women, Children, and Elderly) that were included in yesterday’s Ceasefire Proposal because out of the 136 Hostages that remain in the Gaza Strip, a Significant number are now believed to be Dead.

I believe this report, in part, comes from News12:

First publication in edition | Hamas says in talks in Egypt to the mediators: I have no ability to release 40 abductees as part of the humanitarian deal and insists on other numbers – less than those compiled in Israel.

 
Meanwhile, Netanyahu says they have set a date for the invasion of Rafah:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set a date for an IDF operation in Rafah to destroy the remaining Hamas battalions, as the United States reiterated its opposition to such a step, which it fears will create a humanitarian disaster.

“This victory requires entering Rafah and eliminating the terrorist battalions there. This will happen; there is a date,” Netanyahu said in a brief video message he issued to the public on Monday night.

He spoke after the IDF removed Brigade 98 from Gaza, a move believed to be necessary so the troops could rest and regroup in advance of any further military activity in the enclave.

It sparked speculation, however, that Israel had decided not to send the IDF into Rafah. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir threatened to leave the government if the IDF did not enter Rafah or if it prematurely ended the war.

Israel has insisted that it can not oust Hamas from Gaza without such an operation
