Hostage releases designed to 'maximize anguish' for families to pressure Israel: Gen. Rob Spalding

Hamas' strategy of staggered hostage releases is designed to "maximize anguish" for families of the captives and pressure Israel to extend a cease-fire, Gen. Rob Spalding told Fox News on Sunday.

Spalding, a retired Air Force brigadier general, appeared on Fox News to discuss the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, which has entered its third day. At least one American is expected to be among the group released by Hamas on Sunday, if the exchange moves forward.
