What does anger in front of Gaunt’s hostage mean for a fragile ceasefire?
But Hamas wasn’t the only one who received intense criticism for the state of those they had freed.
Shortly after the three hostages were released, some played their role in the murder of 183 Palestinians – Israeli people, while others were acquitted – leaving Israeli prisons.
One of them being released was Jamal Al Taur, former mayor of Al Bile. He has spent nearly 20 years in and out of Israeli prisons. Recently, he had been on a hunger strike to protest detention without charge.
His daughter, who was recently released from prison, claimed he was beaten at the last moment before his release. He had to be taken from the bus to the hospital while connected to the ventilator.
Seven people released from Israeli prisons needed hospital treatment after they were incarcerated, according to Palestinian Red Crescent.
Since October 7, 2023, there have been many reports, accusing Israeli authorities of abusing Palestinian prisoners.
The question now is how the Saturday release will affect it. A vulnerable ceasefire contract.
Israel said it is sending negotiators to Qatar to discuss “technical issues” before beginning consultations in the next phase. Also warmly welcome US President Donald Trump’s proposal that Gaza will empty Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Hamas has accused Israel of “lack of commitment” about the ceasefire, but said the group is still ready to take part in consultations.
Hamas also released a smoothly produced video of the release of the three hostages. It is filmed in underground tunnels and is clearly learning that they will be released. They talk to the camera, thank God, then wear uniforms with their photos.
The release of the video was followed by statements from families asking them not to air.
There was another conclusion that much was drawn from today, due to all the rage about the state of those who were held. The contract to ensure their freedom – and the end of the battle – cannot come anytime soon.
Because in Gant, the ghostly faces of people who are freed were written as cost of delay.
