Reunion of Hostages in Gaza
Eight hostages, including two sisters, were released from Gaza, bringing some relief to their family. While the returned hostages are in relatively good condition, they are still dealing with the psychological impact of their ordeal. Unfortunately, their father and the remaining hostages are still held captive by Hamas, adding to the family's anxiety and uncertainty. The family is urging the international community, including the Prime Minister, to prioritize the safe return of all the hostages and to continue the humanitarian pause to facilitate exchange deals until everyone is brought home.
