Why is Hamas releasing these hostages, seemingly seeking nothing in return? Is this a part of a plan to appear more moral?

From The Daily Wire. Two more hostages who were kidnapped by Palestinian Islamic terrorists two weeks ago have been released by their captors.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

The families of Nurit Cooper, 79, and Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, were notified that both women were released by Hamas. …

Joe Truzman, a research analyst for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) focused on Palestinian armed groups, said that Hamas’ claims that it released the hostages for humanitarian reasons were bogus.

“It’s simply a tactic to create international pressure on Israel to delay a ground incursion into Gaza,” he said.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller suggested that Hamas did not get anything in return for the release of the hostages. …

The release of the two hostages on Monday comes after two American hostages were released late last week. …

Judith and Natalie Raanan, residents of Evanston, Illinois, located outside of Chicago, were released by terrorists on Friday.
