The Trump admin being incredibly vindictive to the federal work force and threatening to withhold pay and conducting mass layoffs are really self defeating moves because they need a staffed work force for to actually enact the policies they want.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The whole reason Hamas took hostages in the first place was they thought Israel would care enough about them that they wouldn’t bomb and invade Gaza. Clearly that plan didn’t work out.
