In reply to the discussion: Hamas Accepts Draft Agreement For Gaza Ceasefire And Release Of Hostages, Officials Say [View all]So,
Obviously, this doesn't mean that if they kept the hostages but everything else happened would be a total victory for Israel.
Why did you leave it out if it is a condition of a total victory?
Did you just forget to add the hostages to the requirements of a total victory? Certainly seems so which is funny from someone that said I forgot the hostages. I'm sure the families of the hostages disagree with "PA, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people taking control" is a much more sufficient condition for "total victory" than releasing the hostages which is "woefully insufficient for "total victory". "
It's always fun to talk with you.

No, in my words, return of hostages is woefully insufficient for "total victory".

So Oct 7th was a preemptive strike against Israel? A music festival? 1200 people and hostages.
