They have to be able to negotiate with who. The head of Hamas?
Does teh head of Hamas even know which of Hamas cell members have hostages? Or where they're all located? Or be able to contact any of the 200 hostage taker? Or have the communication tech means for negotiating? Seriously?



See how you don't know how your "here's how" can even work. The KEYS to making your "here's how" actually work are
-- WHO the Hamas are who have hostages,
-- WHO the hostage is with each Hamas hostage taker,
-- WHERE each one is in the 300+ mile tunnels beneath Gaza,
-- HOW to contact teach once they know the above
-- HOW to "drive all (!) the hostages and hostage takers into one location" IF they could do any of the above to begin with.

What you've admitted -- that it takes a LOT of intelligence work up front -- is theoretical, at best. You've got no better answers than the current author in the OP.

Thanks for trying.
