Hamas gunmen battled Israeli forces trying to push into Gaza's largest refugee camp on Sunday and at least 11 Palestinians were killed by an Israeli air strike on a house, medics said, as hopes rose of a deal to free some hostages from the enclave. The Washington Post said on Sunday that U.S. mediators were close to a deal between Israel and Hamas to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza in exchange for a five-day pause in their war that would help boost emergency aid shipments to Gaza civilians, citing people familiar with the matter.

What emotions surface for you when civilians, especially women and children, become pawns in warfare?
@9H4FJBKLibertarian 6mos6MO
Using women, elderly, disabled or children as pawns for war is inherently unethical. Hamas must be extinguished either biochemically or with the use of military force. Gaza is not immune, and the ends justify the means.
@9H4FQZH6mos6MO
I think its insanely unfair that those women have to suffer and be in pain along with their children and other families and men, in my opinion war isn't nessacary and we should stop making it an acceptable option.
@9H4FRKN6mos6MO
i think women and children being targeted is very overwhelming and demented but at the same time the ideas of anyone getting unwillingly put in a position of danger feel that was.
@9H4FXRW6mos6MO
being a citizen of a country does not require you to support the country's motives and goals in times of war. women and children are the most vulnerable groups and they should absolutely not be dragged into this war.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you could influence the negotiations, would you prioritize ceasefire and humanitarian aid over military objectives, and why?
@9H4GLHT6mos6MO
yes absolutely war is never the answer and only causes more fatalities over stupid military objectives.
@9H4GDB96mos6MO
yes I would because innocent lives are being lost for no reason.
@9H4GKFYRepublican6mos6MO
No cease fire Hamas needs to be destroyed immediately and with no restrictions
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you were in charge, what personal principles would you consider non-negotiable in negotiating the release of hostages?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What values do you believe should guide decisions when discussing a ceasefire in exchange for hostages?
@9H4BG9N6mos6MO
How valuable are the hostages (ie are they dangerous or not)?
What will be the best outcome for hostages?
Can we rescue hostages without a ceasefire?
