Hamas has released some hostages
Although different sites are declaring different numbers so I don’t know how accurate this is.

The Red Cross are seeking information from Israel re some of their medical staff
Have they become hostages ?
There is no news on the director of Al -Shifa either?

a fragment of hope

Kaffeebitte · 25/11/2023 21:41

Or- the fact there is any mediation happening is good news. The more talking the more hope. The status quo has changed again - and with change comes some hope.

So they give with one hand and take with another

Exactly this.
This was a great deal for Israel, not so much for Palestinians.
And the Israeli goverment said that even if they het all the hostages back, it will not make any difference on bombing/killing Palestinians..

And like I said, they didn’t even get all of the aid in…

It will make no difference at all.
There is a grand plan for Gaza and it doesn’t include the Palestinians.
Irrespective of hostage release.
However, Once the agreed number of hostages are released the bombing and shootings will be far worse than we have seen so far.

Its like waiting for death…it’s inevitable.

@Stomacharmeleon I’m not certain but I think I saw him on a list of hostages somewhere .

Stomacharmeleon · 25/11/2023 21:33

@Kaffeebitte yes it's hard not to think of those where there was clear social media evidence that they had been abducted.

Can I ask if they found her boyfriend? He was being frogmarched off by gunmen as she was put on the bike.

There’s nothing stopping them
17 we’re taken yesterday.
others shot at, beaten, injured.

So they give with one hand and take with another

The other one I think about a lot is Noa, the girl on the back of the motorbike.

Praying that Naama Levy is on this list.

As Israel aren’t releasing ‘soldiers’ my thoughts are that Hamas won’t either, not so early on anyway.

Im afraid.

Stomacharmeleon · 25/11/2023 21:23

@Kaffeebitte yes I hope so too.

Stomacharmeleon · 25/11/2023 21:22

@Parkingt111 that's fantastic news. Any idea on names yet? I am scouring the news.

Kaffeebitte · 25/11/2023 21:20

What worries me is that Israelis will just go and kidnap more Palestinians from the WB.
They have 10000 Palestinian hostages now, and have been taking more and more people all this time.
What is stopping them from going and taking more people?

And Israel never allowed all of the aid that was promised in.

BBC
Qatar have said the 13 hostages and 7 foreign nationals are now with the red Cross

Iwantcakeeveryday · 25/11/2023 19:50

Oh thank god, its obviously awful for adults too but very different for the children. I hate thinking about how scared they must be.

Those to be released.
No names yet

At least the children are taking priority. 41 in total. Good news!

Readingallnight · 25/11/2023 19:41

Iwantcakeeveryday · 25/11/2023 19:33

Thats good news. Is there any indication of if there will be children in this group? and the Palestinian group?

Wait actually is the 7 foreigners referring to the remaining Thai nationals?

Parkingt111 · 25/11/2023 19:38

After a delay, obstacles to release of prisoners were overcome through Qatari-Egyptian contacts with both sides, and 39 Palestinian civilians will be released tonight, while 13 Israeli hostages will leave Gaza in addition to 7 foreigners.”

20 in total

KingofIthaca · 25/11/2023 19:35

More info re some of the issues with the hostage release today
No idea if there are journalists in Gaza to verify the siting of drones flying over

Hopefully all of this has now been resolved

@Reba767 i hope Abigail and Emily are released today.

Abigail was taken by Hamas after they murdered her mum and dad. I believe her dad was holding her at the time. She has two siblings who hid for 12 hours.

Sorry if you know all this already.

Reba767 · 25/11/2023 19:17

I am hopeful for all hostages to be released from both sides.
One little girl who is stuck in my mind is 9 year old Emily who's dad was told she was killed and then it was realised she was being held hostage.His interviews are truly heartbreaking 💔 Emily doesn't have a mother as she passed away when she was younger. She was at a sleepover when she was taken.
I really hope he's reunited with his daughter 💕
