There's a solid chance this blows the ceasefire, and it's so so stupid. It's theatrics... Netanyahu caught a lot of anger from the usual sources+ when the dead family's bodies were returned, and needed to be seen to be smacking hamas somehow so he's making a stink about their (garbage theatrics) practice of forcing hostages to parade in front of an audience to smile and wave goodbye before being exchanged, and holding back palestinian prisoners. He expects hamas to back down and resume the exchanges, which is incredibly dumb because hamas doesn't care about the Palestinians and would love to resume hostilities and make it Israel's fault. And he knows this but he doesn't care either.
It was bold to ever expect Israel to honour a pause in its goal of extermination.
'bold' is not a word i would use in describing hamas in lining up civilian victims knowing full well israel will resume bombing at the first opportunity.
