The Hamas-run Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip says at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike.
Ok but POW exchanges are a little different. Here we’re talking about thousands of prisoners that might be unjustly incarcerated but could also be rapists, terrorists etc… So to exchange some kids taken hostage from a music festival for those…
As part of that offer Hamas also wanted all Palestinian prisoners released, so that makes a deal a lot less likely.

A moral government would do this immediately. Ukraine and Russia do it all the time, too.
Ukraine and Russia release all their prisoners in exchange for hostages all the time?
They do prisoner exchanges. Little different.
Also Russia has held hostage many kidnapped children and Ukraine has negotiated their release.
