The Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization reportedly rejected an Israeli offer Monday for a deal to free the remaining 132 or so hostages still in captivity in Gaza because the proposed agreement did not include a permanent end to Israel’s counteroffensive.

Hamas seized 243 hostages when it invaded Israel in the October 7 terror attack, when it also murdered roughly 1,200 people. An earlier hostage deal saw 110 hostages released over a one-week period in late October; Hamas broke that truce, resuming the war.
