The hostages who are slowly rotting in Hamas' tunnels for more than 10 months have become supporting characters in the great drama of the fluctuations in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's position regarding the hostage deal.
The general public and the hostages' families in particular are trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment: Netanyahu is ready to negotiate, Netanyahu agrees to give the Israeli delegation some rope, Netanyahu is willing to show flexibility, but suddenly Netanyahu is adding more conditions, Netanyahu says in confidential forums that it's not certain there'll be a deal, the deal collapses, and then it starts all over again. Meanwhile, more and more hostages are dying.
On Thursday night, Netanyahu spoke to U.S. President Joe Biden and said he was ready to be flexible regarding the Philadelphi corridor along Gaza's border with Egypt. But then a government official said in response to the report that Netanyahu "has not changed his position on the need for Israeli control and presence in the Philadelphi corridor." A day earlier, senior officials in the Biden administration said the position Netanyahu expressed at his meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken are hindering progress in the talks. This was in contrast to what Blinken himself said on Monday, to the effect that Netanyahu had fully accepted the American "bridging proposal" and that the main obstacle remaining in the negotiations is Hamas' position. [this was a blatant lie.]
Over the years, Netanyahu has become a master of faking negotiations: a lot of talk but zero action. He cannot be allowed to continue carrying out sham negotiations, which abandon the hostages, instigate a battle of Gog and Magog and prepare the ground for territorial expansion in the form of "Israeli security control" in the Gaza Strip, meaning a "temporary" occupation of Gaza.
