The three women — identified by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum as 24-year-old Romin Gonen, 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher and 28-year-old Emily Damari — were released by Hamas militants to the Red Cross around 10:30 a.m. EST, 5:30 p.m. local time. They had been held since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.

"I know they're alive," McGurk said. "They've been held in deplorable conditions over 470 days, but the Israelis have a very good system to take them into their care, and they're going to get the care they need and be reunited with their families."

Some 250 people were kidnapped during Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered 15 months of war. Around 100 hostages still remain in Gaza, after the rest were released or their bodies recovered.

Of course continue to center the Israelis when their leadership committed genocide. Always with the propaganda.

I assume CBS is doing back story spotlights on each of the 90 hostages Israel is supposed to release?

You're free to post them here. Here's one to get you started.

Oh no see that's about prisoners, which is a very deliberately used word, not hostages and we were wanting a fair counterpoint about released hostages. Now just because those people were seized illegally and without a fair trial and used for political purposes plus to inspire fear in the general populace which seems like they would be referred to as hostage, we know they aren't since the non propaganda news network called them a prisoner and even highlighted their supposed crimes front and center.

Lol. I like how there's no response to you, just angry downvoting. People on Lemmy really are terrified of the truth if it doesn't fit their narratives.

What is the truth and what is Lemmy’s narrative

[–] I_Has_A_Hat 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lemmy's narrative is that CBS couldn't possibly be covering the Palestinians release because the people at CBS are evil and biased and who hate all of Palestine.

The truth is they are covering both sides releases and Lemmy users eager willingness to believe they wouldn't is willful ignorance.

[–] T00l_shed 19 points 2 days ago

Well, since they are brown people, no, no they won't.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

I doubt you will see the same depth of coverage. There will be 33 Israelis released in the first phase and 1700 Palestinians.
