"I view with utmost severity the shocking scenes during the release of our hostages. This is additional proof of the inconceivable brutality of the Hamas terrorist organization."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this afternoon (Thursday, 30 January 2025) [translated from Hebrew]:
"I view with utmost severity the shocking scenes during the release of our hostages. This is additional proof of the inconceivable brutality of the Hamas terrorist organization.
I demand that the mediators make certain that such terrible scenes do not recur, and guarantee the safety of our hostages. Whoever dares to harm our hostages will pay the price."
*Update*
Political source: We decided to freeze the release of the terrorists because of the documentation from the release of the hostages in Khan Yunis.
