"While Israel said it vetoed the release of well-known terrorists, some of those on the list to be released are behind the most deadly and infamous attacks of the Second Intifada."

Jewish Insider "Three women held in Hamas captivity for more than 15 months were freed on Sunday after the implementation of a cease-fire agreed to by Israel and Hamas, which was delayed several hours due to Hamas’ failure to provide the names of the first group set to be released.
"A cease-fire slated to begin on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. local time was delayed after Hamas did not provide to mediators the names of those slated for release 24 hours before the exchange was set to occur. The cease-fire went into effect at 11:15 a.m.
"Doron Steinbrecher, Emily Damari and Romi Gonen were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on the morning of Oct. 7, 2023. Damari, a U.K. citizen, and Steinbrecher were taken hostage from their homes in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, while Gonen was taken from the Nova music festival. In January, Hamas released a hostage video in which Steinbrecher appeared with two other female hostages. The terror group did not provide signs of life of Damari and Gonen for the entirety of their captivity.
"The women appeared to walk unaided as they exited the vehicle that had transported them to the Red Cross.
"Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called the 18-hour delay “another example of the kind of enemy we are dealing with…They began violating the agreement before it even went into effect. That was also the case in the previous cease-fire agreement, which Hamas repeatedly violated. They continue to torture the hostages and their families.”
"Earlier Sunday, Israel announced that the body of slain soldier Oren Shaul, who was killed in the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, was recently retrieved from Gaza in a special operation. Shaul, along with Hadar Goldin, was killed in a firefight with Hamas fighters. Goldin’s body remains in Gaza.
"Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced his resignation from the government on Sunday morning over the cease-fire and hostage-release deal. Ben-Gvir, along with Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and eight other ministers, voted on Friday against approving the deal. Smotrich plans to remain in the government." . . .
One fears the stories these women will tell. Will any rape victims - and you know there are many - come back as mothers of Arab babies?
Israel has set up calm greeting stations for the hostage girls. The little baskets have hair brushes and other female-covered luxuries that they likely haven’t seen in well over a year. pic.twitter.com/nFz356GonM — Marina Medvin (@MarinaMedvin) January 19, 2025. Marina also expressed this:
The amount of medical care they will need is intense after 471 days. And cosmetic too. For example, they’ll need probably a few months of dental work to fix the damage their teeth went through.
