Israel is working with the U.S. to get all of its hostages out of Gaza as "quickly as possible", a statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday.

"We are working in full coordination with the United States to rescue all our hostages -- both the living and the deceased -- as quickly as possible, and we are fully prepared for what lies ahead, in all respects," said the statement, which came shortly after Hamas militants released Israeli-American Sagui Dekel-Chen, Israeli-Russian Sasha Trupanov and Israeli-Argentinian Yair Horn earlier on Saturday.

The Prime Minister's office is furnished with a late-Danish-modern suite of folding chairs and card-tables, the latter of which speak three languages.

Hannibal Directive of Israel says to kill hostages/captives so they don't have to be rescued or ransomed. That's what the 2000-pound bombs are for. It probably won't work.
