    The international Red Cross can visit Israeli prisoners to determine their well being. The same can not be said for hostages Hamas is holding.

          Originally it was Israel preventing the red cross from entering the region.

          When did they change their stance?

        Nonsense. The Israelis have worked with the Red Cross on hostage release in the past. They are an intermediary in the process, a role the Red Cross has taken since WWI. And, Hamas is the first to refuse their reviewing hostages and prisoners.
