Hamas wants to release the hostages as part of a ceasefire agreement. That’s why they took them in the first place.
Also, Israel declared war against Palestine in 1967 with their occupation, and against Gaza specifically in 2005 with the blockade. From that point onward Israel is the aggressor; if they give Palestinians peace and then Hamas continues firing rocket attacks your point holds. I haven’t seen anyone make the point you’re arguing against.
The ceasefire was for a limited number of Israeli hostages and a limited number of Palestinian hostages to be released, along with a limited time truce. As for why that’s the case, Israel didn’t want a permanent (or long-term) ceasefire. They vowed the war wasn’t over the day they signed the truce, remember?

Why did they stop releasing them while there was a already a ceasefire? No one has answered my original question. I’m just trying to understand that.
