Three hostages, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Sasha Alexander Troufanov, and Iair Horn, have emerged and appeared on stage alongside fighters in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. They seem to be in better shape than previous hostages, prompting cheers from the crowd. The Red Cross was also present and signed documents on stage. A convoy of vehicles arrived at the area for the release, with civilians and militants gathered around the stage. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Commission announced that 369 Palestinian prisoners will be released as part of the deal.
Friends and family of Sagui Dekel-Chen were gathered in Giv’ot Bar, Southern Israel, to watch his release. Israeli flags and yellow flags for hostages were displayed, and people wore t-shirts with Dekel-Chen’s face. The energy was calm, with a bottle of champagne ready. Dozens of fighters from Al-Qassam and Saraya al-Quds battalions were also present, as well as hundreds of civilians and banners of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Trump’s recent comments about taking over Gaza and resettling Palestinians sparked controversy, as he said they would have better housing but no right to return. Hamas plans to release the three hostages according to the ceasefire deal with Israel. Dekel-Chen, an American Israeli, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz. Posters of the hostages were displayed at the event.
