I see. So you think Israel wants the hostages to be kept in order to give them a public excuse to continue their campaign?
No. I said they're a convenient excuse. If they were to return then a new excuse would be found. The impetus for this campaign started as "self defense" in response to the Oct 7 attack. Then when that was no longer sufficient to justify things they moved onto the hostages as a bargaining chip.
