that Israel actually wants to make a deal, since it might mean that she owuld have to release all the Hamas legislators she`s kidnapped - except for those she has a criminal case against, which on present evidence seems to be zero.

Looking more generally, it is repulsive to see Hamas using kidnapping and blackmail like this - but even more repulsive to see Israel doing it.

Hamas after all doesn`t even claim to follow the rule of law.
