Hamas will place higher values on the hostages before considering their release.
At the same time, Hamas will be interested in extracting maximum value from the large mass of hostages still held, with a primary focus on prolonging the ceasefire for as long as possible.
Even small numbers of military hostages can be valuable to Hamas, once holding an IDF soldier for four years and accepting an exchange of over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. One of those released in exchange was Yahya Sinwar, who is now the head of Hamas in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israel will be keen to keep pressure on Hamas to ensure a steady stream of hostage releases, with the threat of launching a ground attack, reports Skynews.
Israel will be keen to resume the attack if the hostage-release talks stall to show resolve, even if there are further disruptions in response to further advances on the hostage exchange in the coming days and weeks.
