Three Americans — including a 4-year-old whose parents were slain by Hamas — are are expected to be among 13 hostages released by Gaza Sunday, marking the first time US citizens would be released since a delicate cease-fire was struck up between the terror organization and Israel.

Two unidentified women and Abigail Mor Edan, a young girl who turned 4 alone in captivity on Friday after becoming an orphan in the deadly Oct. 7 incursion, were set to be freed, senior US officials told CNN.

President Biden on Friday had expressed hope that the young Israeli-American girl would be among those released this weekend, telling reporters, “I’m keeping my fingers crossed.”

Abigail had been snatched by Hamas after fleeing her home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza where her father Roy Edan, 43, a photojournalist, and mother, Smadar Edan, were killed during the Oct. 7 attack.

Her older siblings, 6 and 10, were able to escape after hiding.

The young girl’s family had hoped she would be released ahead of her 4th birthday, which was Friday.

They’re already received that in the form of a “ceasefire”.

Aw. Isn’t that sweet of them, what a nice bunch.

They murdered the parents, took the child hostage, and then released it because it was an orphan.

Wow.

I guess it was useless as a hostage because without parents to plead with the Israeli government, it provided them with no leverage.

Surprised they didn’t just murder that child and take pictures of themselves playing kick-ball with it.

So Hamas had no qualms about kidnapping a 4-year-old girl, nor about holding her in captivity for 7 weeks

Stuff like this is why people say “Israel, do whatever you gotta do”

What kind of a sick f*cked-up mindset does one need to kidnap a 3 year old child?

Calling these people animals would be an insult to animals... They are immoral monsters and the lowest sort of lifeform on this planet.

Celebrate today... Tomorrow you'll hopefully die in the next Israeli missile strike.

Hamas recruited a whole generation of people to stand with Israel...

Did they rob the humanitarian aid warehouse again. All three of those Palestinian dopes are wearing the same exact long sleeve grey sweatshirt that looks exactly like the cheapo ones from Walmart.

Good that some hostages are freed, but, those who carried out the Oct. 7 attacks and kidnappings make the Manson Family seem like a nice bunch of people. 🙄

Wow! THREE OF ‘EM! Including a four year old? No wonder the freeloading, student loan deadbeats love those Hammies! The sooner the Zero Gs and Millies move their asses to Europe, the better off America and Americans are going to be. They just aren’t falling off cliffs fast enough taking selfies right now. We need some help.

That’s Winston’s V for Victory they’re mis-using. Somewhere up there, he’s making a stirring oration to the Heavenly Court to rain down wrath on these low-lifes.

Especially the way she was crying all the time for her mommy. Must have gotten on their terrorristic nerves. So they’re saints for not gang-raping her and then offing her./sarc

200 to go or more? I’m sure Biden will give them sanctuary or maybe Newson in SF or Minneapolis

We need a series of mini-Entebbe rescues, all done simultaneously. Probably not going to happen, but if it does, that’ll be the end of this sort of BS.

Five of the Hostage women are Russians—I wonder if they will be released? Putin will not be pleased if they are not let go.

“... telling reporters, “I’m keeping my fingers crossed.”

Acknowledging I’m hyper critical of Biden, that statement screams weakness to our enemies. How about this instead, “We expect the return of the hostages today without exception. Any action against American citizens is not tolerated. We stand firmly with Israel, and the fight against terrorism.”

A nuclear bomb will be dropped on Israel

Only a matter of time.

Will Israel reply with proportion after a nuclear bomb drops on Israel or will they crumble under international Jew hatred?

Israel shouldn’t have shown weakness.
