What we know
Freed hostages Sagui Dekel-Chen, Sasha Alexander Troufanov and Iair Horn have crossed into Israeli territory after Hamas transferred them to Red Cross custody in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip More than 300 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were set to be freed during this the sixth exchange under the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. Before today, a total of 16 Israeli and five Thai hostages had been released from Gaza, and hundreds of Palestinians set free from Israeli detention. Earlier this week, the truce appeared close to breaking down after Hamas said it was suspending today’s hostage release and accused Israel of violating the terms of the deal. Hamas agreed to restart the releases after threats from President Donald Trump and Israeli officials, and cajoling from Arab leaders and intermediaries.
Every time I see the Hamas crew surrounding a hostage or two all I can think of is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
This slow motion drip of two or three hostages being released at a time is BS.
Gun fodder. The hostages are gold. The rest that are sent back are dead men walking. The end is when the return is just empty shells and bodies. Israel can’t give back bodies but they will rectify that when the returns are not there. There’s a reckoning coming soon. The Israelis can’t exchange the bodies but they can turn the trash into that. IMO
How is this even right? 3 for hundreds in exchange?
Watching the Black Hawk Down documentary on Netflix. One American = 100s of Somalis.
Just how Muslims view life vs. how we view it.
The only way this will stop is not giving in. No one wants to see the hostages killed.
Just kill all the "Palestinians" [sic] and be done with it.
During war, there will inevitably be civilian casualties. Sad but true.
There can be no negotiation with Jew haters.
Is that noon deadline DC swap time or middle east sh!+ hole time?
This is a lousy deal. I know the Israelis want their hostages home, but they are putting terrorists back in action. OTOH, once all the living hostages are home, Bibi can go scorched earth on Gaza.
Isn’t today Saturday? Where’s our President? I get (and love) the tactic Trump uses to troll people when he intends to do something different. But this seemed a clear line in the sand. If he doesn’t own up to his demand of all hostages released then the world is going to assume he is just talk.
I started watching that. 1st episode was very good. I’ve especially hated the Clintoon Admin ever since Oct 1993.
