They've changed their tune.

I'm guessing they'll be going straight to Hamas, rather than their people?

[bots]

the UN has documented that aid lorries arrived in nort gaza yesterday, so Hamas are playing games. What a surprise

[arista]

Hostages will soon be released

What that poor man has been through, first believing she had been killed and coming to terms with that, and then getting the news she had been taken hostage ...lucky girl that she is an Irish citizen, that probably helped with her release

[bots]

So glad the little girl made it out alive

[bots]

yeah, that is unimaginable hell

rish prime minister Leo Varadkar has been criticised by Israel for saying a nine-year-old girl kidnapped by Hamas was “lost and has now been found”.

Responding to the release of Emily Hand, an Irish-Israeli schoolgirl, the Taoiseach said: “This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered.

Israel’s foreign minister hit out at the statement, telling Mr Varadkar that it was inappropriate to suggest Emily was simply “lost” when she had in fact been kidnapped by Hamas terrorists.

“Mr Prime Minister. It seems you have lost your moral compass and need a reality check!” Eli Cohen, Israel’s foreign minister, said on social media.
“Emily Hand was not “’lost’, she was kidnapped by a terror organisation (sic) worse than ISIS that murdered her stepmother. “

The hostages all look remarkably clean and healthy considering the "unimaginable" things that "must" have been being done to them by their captors ... some have repeatedly insisted.

It's a difficult thing to bring up of course - being kidnapped and held hostage in any regard is obviously an extremely traumatic event during which one would fear for their lives daily - I'm not downplaying what these people have experienced. Just pointing out that it doesn't QUITE appear to match up with the conditions that people have been insisting they will have been kept in, and the abuse people have been insisting they will have been subject to, by their "animal" captors.

Some of them were waving at their captors upon release.

Israeli forces now believes to have killed many of the dead on October 7th.

The narratives aren't matching up, you're right. Folks don't want to understand the truth, they just want to keep repeating the same things over and over in spite of the evidence.

The first American hostages that were released said they were treated well, but then some hostages have been killed so its not a one size fits all, we saw that poor german girl paraded naked before our eyes, and where just fragments of her skull have been found

war narratives never add up and never have

Not charged with anything?

So could have thrown stones, etc.

It is not clear whether, or how, the hostages were coerced in the making of the video, but at one point a Hamas member audibly instructs two hostages, Sharon Avigdori, 52, and her daughter Noam, 12, to "keep waving," as they smile at the camera before the van departs for Egypt.

Maybe Hamas has access to showers and clean clothes?

[Livia]

Considering how they were taken it's amazing to see the few that have been released look as though they are okay - physically. Of course, they are a tiny percentage of those who were taken. But it will please the Hamas supporters with their "Look! They all look fine!" narrative.

One American 4-Year-old has been released

39 from Gaza were set free

17 Israelis were given to the Red Cross

An Israeli woman who was one of the hostages freed by Hamas thought they were being taken to be executed before they were released.

Adina Moshe, 72, told her family she thought she was being led to her death before she and 12 other hostages were released on Friday after the warring sides signed a Qatari-negotiated, four-day ceasefire.

Her niece Mayan Moshe, 43, told The Times: 'She knew something was happening when the explosions all stopped on Friday and suddenly there was silence.

Our aunt said when they were moved from the tunnel they were scared — they thought they were being taken to be executed. Only when they saw the Red Cross buses did they realise they were being freed.'

Adina had been kept underground by Hamas terrorists for 50 days before being released and her eyes were still adjusting to sunlight when she spoke to her family. Her nephew Ayat Nouri said: 'They kept up the terror to the end.'

at least they had clean clothes though!
