Despite various statements by interested parties, the negotiations between Israel and Hamas have been and are still stuck. Hamas continues to demand a total cessation of Israel's military operations and withdrawal of all Israeli forces from Gaza and the opening of Gaza for unimpeded and unchecked imports (i.e., the ability to import weapons to rebuild their forces) in return for a slow dribble of kidnappees totaling approximately 30 to 35 (including dead ones) of the 132 (including dead) kidnappees still in Palestinian hands. In other words, it demands the ability to rehabilitate its control over Gaza to be able to continue to attack Israel. The Israeli government has so far refused to accept these terms. It is willing to exchange some imprisoned Palestinian terrorists (the exact numbers are not clear – before the war there were approximately 5,000 Palestinians in custody for terrorist activity and during the war many more have been captured – a few thousand in Judea and Samaria and a few thousand in Gaza) and accept a temporary ceasefire only. The issue of whether to accept or not has caused friction inside Israel with some groups demanding the government accede to the terms. Currently the majority of Israelis, according to polls, still support the government's position.
