Very difficult situation, without any good answers but possibly with bad or worse ones. Though I understand why Israel is willing to do almost anything to bring all the hostages home, I do wonder at what cost? As a Jewish man, I would not want to be freed if that was very likely to lead to the deaths of hundreds or thousands of my countrymen.

Freeing large quantities of terrorists, who you arrested, tried and convicted for murder, and who are still committed to killing your people for merely existing, seems like something that is very likely to lead to large quantities of civilian casualties in the future.
