Israel can probably get most of the hostages back by just stopping the air strikes.

And that's exactly why they are doing the air strikes and also committing violence on the west bank. They are terrorizing civilians as a bargaining chip.

This way of working should not be supported by western nations.

Especially here in Europe, we are going to become victims of terrorism due to blindly supporting that apartheid state.

We need human corridors and to start sanctioning Israel for war crimes ASAP.
