This is silly right? It isn’t like Hamas demanded this ratio, or that they forced Israel to accept. Should Hamas refuse out of principle if Israel gave them prisoners for free?

On the contrary it seems more like a power play on Israel’s part. “Take our prisoners we will just defeat them again!”

> It isn’t like Hamas demanded this ratio

thats exactly what its like. If israel wanted their hostages back they needed to give up twice as many palestinian prisoners.
