Moments of emotion, joy and enthusiasm dominate Hostages Square in Tel Aviv as relatives of Hamas captives engage in celebratory demonstrations after what they had waited for so long – the day and hour they would give the much-desired embrace to their loved ones, when they would touch them again – finally arrived. Both Donald Trump, during his historic visit to Israel, and Benjamin Netanyahu met with the families of the hostages.
Israel has confirmed the handover of the living hostages from Hamas. Specifically, the Israeli military confirmed that all 20 living hostages have now been handed over by Hamas. In its latest statement, the Israeli military reported that the second group of 13 hostages has now been handed over to the Red Cross.
The Israeli military published the first images showing the seven hostages in an area of the Gaza Strip controlled by Israel, after their handover by the Red Cross.

Their nightmare is over at last.
