“Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel,” The Hill reports.

“The admission raises questions over how many of the remaining hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 133 hostages out of more than 240 abducted that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.”

I fear that many died quite a while ago and Hamas has been playing a dangerous game to the detriment of many.

Just to be fair. And their billions have to go to compensate victims and families.

Seem reasonable? I don't want to be insensitive here.
