President Trump said Wednesday that he expects Hamas to release all remaining Israeli hostages on Monday, following a breakthrough peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian terror group.
“The big thing is hostages are going to be released probably, our time, would be, probably Monday,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity, in an interview hours after he announced both Hamas and Israel had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point plan for peace in the Middle East.
“They’re in a terrible situation there,” Trump said of the 48 hostages believed to be in Gaza, more than half of which are thought to be dead.

Don't do your touchdown dance yet. Hamas and their ilk have a habit of renegging and renegotiating agreed deals.

Trump has Hamas boxed in.
Either they abide by the agreement, or they get obliterated by Israel with America's blessing.
That being said, all hostages released should be interviewed on live TV over how they have been treated, especially the ones left alive.

My question is, what happens when they fail to do so?

Good. Now does this mean we are done paying for mideast wars and injecting ourselves into matters that are not ours? Didn't think so.

I'm wondering if Hamas is heading for a Comanche moment.
The Comanche were a greatly feared Native American tribe in the U.S. West. It was their tradition to kill, enslave, torture, mutilate and rape their neighbors. The U.S. Authorities were aiming to get a treaty with them, to make them stop. Their was a hostage exchange, as I recall. The Comanche hostages, especially women, were in such bad shape and the Comanche so pleased at their art of torture, that the European negotiators promptly killed the Comanche representatives, rounded up a volunteer army, and set out to obliterate the Comanche nation - man woman and children.
Hamas does not strike me as being very prescient...

I don't trust Hamas terrorists in the slightest.

Hamas does not intend to honor any agreement. They’re murdering savages. Those hostages will never be seen alive again.
Then, as Robert Heinlein once said, we can “kill them, without hate - and quickly.”

Praying that this Peace Agreement will occur and that the hostages will be freed.

What happened to the president's ultimatum issued on Friday, October 3, that Israeli hostages, alive and dead, be released by Sunday, October 5, 1800 eastern time - or "all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas?" The same thing that happened with his February 11, ultimatum of a similar nature. The president's current deal, requiring Israel to release 250 Hamas prisoners sentenced to life in prison in trade for the estimated twenty live hostages, further empowers the UN and Red Crescent with the oversight of aid distribution in Gaza. What could possibly go wrong with trading Israeli lives for positive PR?
