Hamas posted three Israeli hostage on Saturday in exchange for 183 Palestinians who was in prison, in an inscented handover in which the Hamas fighters fired out of the rifle led their captives to maintain short speeches, effectively on cracks, thanks to militants who are They were captured in 16 months to be trapped.
Events made an an Already tank’s interruption of fire More fragile, perhaps endangering the following steps in the tribute agreement. Israel should withdraw from the Gaza part on Sunday to allow Palestinians to move more freely, but threatened to take an indefinite action in response to what says Hamas’s violations of permanent fire.
And conversations on the second phase of the trial agreement should now progress, in the midst of a deep astonishment in the Arab world over Proposal of President Trump Move more than two million Gazans from the enclave and the United States to take over the territory.
For Hamas, a strong choreographic handover of hostages he intensified the message of the group that, despite the devastating war in the gaza’s belt in which thousands of his members were killed and most of his leadership remained there in power, defying the vow of Israel’s leaders to pull him out that he would draw it.
In a statement of hostage edition, Hamas said: “This confirms that our people and their resistance have an advantage.”
But if Hamas saw the scene in the city of Deir al-Balah as a propaganda for his claim that he was welcomed to his prisoners, he had the opposite effect in Israel, where many people thought the paintings were almost unbearable. Three fragile, painfully thin hostages parade on stage in front of the audience, and each kept a “release certificate,” and made it in words written for them.
Gideon Saar, Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, called for the most important Jewish trauma of the last century, writing on social media: “Israeli hostages look like a Holocaust survivor.”
On Saturday, the spectacle certainly increased the pressure of some Israelites to find a way to restore all the remaining hostages in Gaza. For others, the opinion will be enhanced that Israel should continue the war after the first six weeks of the phase of the fire interrupts expires on March 2, and does not negotiate long -term peace.
What happens next is far from safe.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahua said after the edition on Saturday that he ordered Israeli authorities to “take appropriate measures” for violating the coastal fire, but did not specify what these actions could be.
On Sunday, Israeli forces were to be pulled on the east along the key corridor in Central Gaza to allow more Palestinian freedom of movement.
Three Israelites posted on Saturday Hamas – Eli Sharabi, 52; Or Levy, 34; And Ohad Ben Ami, 56, among about 250 people abducted during an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, who touched the war. About 75 was not returned, and it is believed that about half are dead.
The fire interruption contract calls for release over six weeks of 25 living hostages and bodies of eight others killed, in exchange for more than 1,500 Palestinians held by Israel. Palestinian prisoners include people detained in Gaza during the war, but have never been charged with crime and others who have served punishment for violent crimes.
So far, 16 living hostages have been released and about 550 Palestinian prisoners.
Palestinian prisoners, like Israeli hostages, returned home by losing significant amounts of weight. And like hostages, some recounted brutal abuse by those who held them.
Hamas and Israel should negotiate the second phase of the truce, which would end the war and release the remaining hostages. But it is not clear that the two sides can reach an agreement.
Israel vowed that he would not end the war if he left Hamas, who took control of Gaza in 2007, still in charge. Hamas rejected this demand and made repeated force emissions during the meal, with very armed men-often seen in public during the fighting-patrolylating streets and throwing themselves to control the streets and squares where hostages were transferred.
Three Israelites released on Saturday were taken to hospitals in central Israel to get medical care and reunite with loved ones. The liberated Palestinians were taken to Ramallah, on the Israeli west coast, or to Khan Younis, in southern Gazi, and at both locations some were taken to hospitals.
In Ramallah, a huge crowd welcomed the arrival of the Red Cross bus, which transported the liberated prisoners, and they see many Palestinians as bold fighters against the enemy. At least some are convicted of involvement in deadly attacks on the Israelis, who see them as terrorists.
The Israeli forces have searched into the homes of the West Coast family at least four men before they release, warning their relatives not to celebrate their freedom. Israel was particularly asserted in Suppression of celebrations For detainees released under the current dedication fire, fearing that they can enhance the popularity of hamas.
One of the prisoners whose family house was raid was Jamal Tawil, a senior Hamas leader on the West Coast, who was repeatedly closed for charges involving planning a bombing against Israel. After release, he was taken directly to the hospital in Ramallah.
“He struggles to breathe and is very weak,” said his daughter Bushra Tawil, a journalist and activist who was released last month. “I was shocked when I saw him – he was beaten on the head and other parts of the body until the last moments before release.”
She said she threatened her arrest if they publicly celebrated his return.
The Israeli army did not have a current comment on her allegations.
Another Palestinian whose home on the west coast was ratio, Shadi Barghouti, served a 27-year penalty for planning or participating in attacks, according to the Israeli Ministry of Justice. Family members said his father Fakhri Barghouti (70) was beaten during the raid.
Barghoutis, father and son, covered themselves in prison. The elderly was convicted of the 1978 murder of Israel, but was released into an agreement on a prisoner of 2011 with Hamas. Fakhri Barghouti was waiting at the Ramallah Cultural Palace when his son arrived on Saturday – the first time they met outside of prison since 1978. They were both a tear, but smiling, while Shadi Barghouti knelt when he saw his father.
Another released Hamas militant, Iyad Abu ShkhayDem, who is now 50 years old, served 18 punishments, partly for planning the bombing of two buses in Beershebi of 2004 in central Israel, killed by 16 people.
In Israel, the Government posted the recordings of Mr. Levy accepting their parents and brother as they first met since he took hostages.
“My soul, we missed us so much,” his mother could be heard.
In the Israeli city of Be’eri, where Mr. Ben Ami and Mr. Sharabi were abducted, the residents gathered in a local pub to watch a live post on television, said Haim Jelin, a resident and former Israeli MP.
“People were joyful and shouted as they got out of the car. But as soon as we saw them, there was complete silence. People started crying,” said Mr. Jelin in an interview. “There was a hose.”
The forum of family with hostages, which represents the relatives of the prisoner, issued a quick statement by condemning “disturbing images” from handover and invited to the current release of the remaining prisoners.
“Everyone has to be brought home, until the last hostage.”
