This is why the Gazans are not providing information about the hostages

Rami Igra, former head of the Captives and Missing Persons Division at the Mossad, addresses the current situation in the Gaza Strip and says that under the current circumstances, only a bad deal can be achieved with Hamas.

In an interview with 'Galey Israel' radio, Igra said: "As long as Hamas maintains civilian control over the Strip, we will be forced into a deal that is terrible for Israel."

Regarding Israel's offer to pay five million dollars to any Gazan who provides information about hostages, Igra said: "Why don't Gazans hand over hostages to us in exchange for the millions of dollars offered to them and immunity? Because they know that before they see a single cent, they will be dragged through Gaza in a vehicle going 200 km/h."

Regarding the compromises that Israel will have military control over Gaza, he said: "Military rule will bring a solution on one hand, but it will also bring us a lot of troubles, and it will be very expensive."
