Three hostages, including one who survived the brutal Nova music festival massacre during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, have been freed after the Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal went into effect following hours of uncertainty.

Romi Gonen, 23, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 30, were handed over to the Israel Defense Forces by the Red Cross on Sunday after 471 days in captivity.

Earlier, Hamas terrorists transferred the women to the aid group’s trucks during a chaotic scene in Gaza.

So let me get this straight: a defeated enemy, who began a war by committing the war crime of taking civilian hostages, gets to let the survivors out in drive and drabs. Sweet deal - just not for the victorious power

The simple fact is, 1 Israeli life is worth more than the cockroaches being released.

Khaos in Gaza?

I thought the place is a utopian cradle of civilization.

I wonder if The Israelis can somehow put trackers on or in these terrorists and wipe them all out later.

You know, the more you look at this “deal”, the more it does sound like something Biden would come up with. I wonder if the terms change around 12:01 PM tomorrow.

Hopefully, ICE will round up all those Gaza slobs who came here when Israel started kicking their Hamass asses.

Fear not. The 1000 Hamas Prisoners being released will have a short shelf life.
As Israel will eliminate them in the future.

Agreed. Another example is the fabled border bill some cuck gop supported last year: takes a long time, Byzantine moving parts, in this case deprives a visitor of its victory

The only ones released by these rabid dogs will be the ones that went over or are incapable of providing evidence of atrocities.

Israeli government keep snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Glad for the hostages getting sprung but this is a horrible terrible stinking thing that will only lead the Fakestinian terrorists Occupying Israeli land to murder hubdreds if not thousands more innocent people

The evil fwkestinysns need to be sent up jahannam (Moslem Hell). Not catered to. Not negotiated with. Not supplied and resulted. Not armed. Not financed. Not enabled. Not protected. Not allowed to continue their Satanic Occupation. Gone! Anything less just mesns they’ll be in position, armed, supplied, and frankly encouraged to slaughter more and more innocent people. And everybody knows this.

100 hostages for 2,000 murderers, rapists, and random killers who will immediately join the the fight to kill Jews. Sounds like a fair exchange.
