He wants it darker
Bibi kills the flame
As others have noted, prolonging the hostage crisis is very much to his benefit. The moment they're rescued is the moment one of his flimsy pillars for invading Gaza falls apart.
I really have to wonder whether his brother issues affect his approach to hostages. Given that Yonatan died, and became a hero, rescuing the hostages at Entebbe, it wouldn't surprise me if Bibi is twisted enough to basically go to the other extreme.
Hamas didn't just ask for a ceasefire, they wanted combatants released back into the field from Israeli prison so that they would have more fighters when the ceasefire ended. Combatant prisoners like the one who masterminded 10/7 and was traded for Gilad Shalit. That's a joke of an offer.
Now they’ll say Hamas wrote this article and try to bomb the guardian and their children for being human animals. It’s funny Hamas is in every ambulance, school, cute Palestinian kids and every other hospital but Hamas is not part of the actual hostages thing so they don’t solve that side.
Must be, after Israel going to the UN on sep 22, 2023, showing a map of Israel AND Palestine (2 separate states)both as Israel(label both or neither?) they pointlessly start issues.blatant terrorist govt. instead of containing Hamas, they kill 6x the unrelated civilians including ‘human animal’ kids
I've been saying since the beginning of this that nobody wants those hostages dead than Bibi, not even Hamas. It's the most despair inducing aspect of all of this because unless all of the players understand that Bibi is the greatest threat to them and acts accordingly, we will never free them.
When strikes inevitably kill them, he can just blame it on the Hamas terrorists in whatever terrorist ambulance he has personally confirmed was a terrorist stronghold.
Like the Kaplan Street protestors (or George Soros…or Yitzhak Rabin who he famously depicted as a Nazi), Bibi & many of his ministers do not view kibbutzniks (who are certainly not his supporters) as Jews.
I swear I heard one of the spokes people say on his behalf very early on that they were considering counting the hostages as a loss. And it was only after the families went so public with their pain and anger that he changed course but it's still retribution and not rescue. 
Bibi’s got a lot of similarities to Trump. Seemingly has an absence of empathy. Self-concern & self-preservation at all costs. Doesn’t blink at lives being risked or lost because of his decisions. If Trump were in Bibi’s shoes in Israel, he’d also use the hostages as pawns, w no regard for life.
It's truly perverse how sympathy and concern for the hostages is weaponized in the US to get support for a guy who does not, in fact, show any regard for getting the hostages released.
They passed a law that would allow their police and military to shoot protestors that inhibit the war effort in any way.... protestors that include the families of the hostages....
The dude is in survival mode. He knows the heat would be on him if the shooting stopped now. He's buying time with carnage while looking for a way out.
Not only that, but if he actually believed he was going to destroy Hamas then he could take the deal, get as many hostages as possible, and then destroy them anyway
Most of Israel a) wants him in prison and b) thinks 15 hostages for three days (which everyone in Israel thinks will end up permanent) is too little. IDF losses in Gaza are below expectations and there's little support for a ceasefire; the left flank demands are ceasefire for *all* hostages, not 15.
(I see what the people in @-replies say and let me just say you all should read Ynet for 40th-ish percentile opinion and Haaretz for 20th-ish; Amir Tibon at Haaretz, who survived the massacre, wrote against a ceasefire. And these are people who loathe Netanyahu.)
Pro-ceasefire, but also benched from the Haaretz live updates. Where Haaretz writ large is 20th percentile, he's on the order of 5th among Jews - Haaretz also has Eva Ilouz implicating the global left, and Amir Tibon, etc.
