The ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has led to the release of hostages, but the process was overshadowed by a chaotic scene in which a crowd jeered and surrounded hostages being handed over to the Red Cross. The truce aims to de-escalate the deadliest conflict between the two sides, but the future remains uncertain.
The release of hostages in the conflict between Israel and Hamas was marred by a chaotic scene as a crowd of Palestinians surrounded and jeered at the hostages being handed over to the Red Cross . The truce, aimed at ending the deadliest and most destructive conflict ever fought between the two sides, saw the release of several hostages, including Agam Berger, Arbel Yehoud, and Gadi Moses. The first hostage, Agam Berger, a female Israel i soldier, was released in northern Gaza .
However, hours later, a chaotic scene unfolded in Khan Younis, a southern Gaza city. Thousands of people gathered as militants from Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group escorted hostage Arbel Yehoud through the crowd toward waiting Red Cross vehicles. The crowd surrounded Yehoud, shouting and jeering, while masked militants pushed people away to ensure her safe passage. Red Cross vehicles faced delays as they attempted to depart the scene.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the “shocking” scene and called on international mediators to prevent similar events in the future. This incident occurred amidst the release of several other hostages, including five Thai nationals. In exchange for the hostages, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners are set to be released from Israeli prisons. The first phase of the ceasefire also includes the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza, which suffered extensive damage during the conflict. The deal calls for negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a second phase, which would see the release of remaining hostages and an indefinite ceasefire. However, the future of the truce remains uncertain, with Israel stating its commitment to dismantling Hamas and a key coalition partner calling for a resumption of the conflict after the first phase
