Wow. Just read back what you just wrote. At any point they could have released those bodies. At any point. Of course they deliberately held onto them. They didnt accidentally hold on to them.
OF COURSE Netanyahu was going to prioritise living hostages in the deals. No human being with any sense, strategy or morality would prioritise dead bodies over living hostages in a deal.
Netanyahu is the awful human being here? Seriously? I think Netanyahu is a shit but seriously noone with a vaguely functioning moral compass could fault him for prioritising getting living hostages out of their hell holes and back to their families.
