United States Rumors to Foment Hate

2023-12-06 State Dept: Hamas refuses to release women hostages to prevent sharing horrors of captivity he State Department says the U.S. suspects one reason Hamas is refusing to release its remaining female hostages is to prevent them from revealing the horrors they experienced in captivity. Israeli officials believe Hamas still has roughly 18 women in custody, most of whom were kidnapped from an Oct. 7 music festival near the Gaza border, according to Axios. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller says that Hamas’ refusal to release the women led to the collapse of the cease-fire on Friday. “It seems that one of the reasons they don’t want to turn women over that they’ve been holding hostage — and the reason this pause fell apart — is that they don’t want these women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody,” Miller said during a Monday press briefing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/state-dept-hamas-refuses-to-release-women-hostages-to-prevent-sharing-horrors-of-captivity/ar-AA1l2hZv
