The reason why Israel decided to be callous towards hostages is because Israelis know that the Shalit deal, exchanging one POW for 1,000+ prisoners, created the incentives that led to October 7. That's the context for everything that happened post October 7.

Israel is accused of using hostages for propaganda purposes and to justify their actions in Gaza, even though they have shown little concern for the hostages and have repeatedly declined negotiations or their release. This occurs in the context of ongoing airstrikes in Gaza.
