Re: Ceasefire Rejected
According to the Israeli person who acted as the representative of the hostages in negotiations, Hamas offered a deal to release ALL civilian hostages as early as October 9 or 10 in exchange for the IDF not entering Gaza, which lines up with reporting of Palestinian journalists at the time.
