Israel-Gaza latest: Two US hostages released by Hamas for 'humanitarian reasons', says group's spokesman

Friday 20 October 2023 18:34, UK

Hamas says it has released two US hostages after "efforts by the Qataris". Israel said 20 of those being held are under 18. Meanwhile, hundreds of lorries are waiting at the Rafah crossing with aid for Gaza - but a deal will only allow up to 20 in, and it's still not clear when.

Hamas releases two US hostages 'for humanitarian reasons' after Qatari efforts-spokesperson

Reuters
October 20, 2023


CAIRO, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Hamas' armed wing the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades has released two U.S. hostages - a mother and her daughter - "for humanitarian reasons" in response to Qatari mediation efforts, its spokesman Abu Ubaida said in a statement on Friday.

Abu Ubaida said they released the citizens "for humanitarian reasons, and to prove to the American people and the world that the claims made by (President Joe) Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless."

Israel responded to the hostage crisis and the Oct. 7 rampage by Hamas gunmen which killed 1,400 Israelis by pounding Gaza with air strikes, killing more than 4,000 people, and has said it will act to free the hostages while wiping out Hamas.

It amassed tanks and troops near the perimeter of the enclave for an expected ground invasion, calling on Palestinians to evacuate the north of Gaza, where it says Hamas is dug in.

Israel has also said that there will be no end to its full blockade of the enclave unless Israeli hostages are freed.

Hamas says it has 200 hostages and that 50 more are held by other armed groups in the enclave. It said more than 20 hostages have been killed by Israeli air strikes, but has not given any further details.

Good, they should release all the hostages to their families and Israel should stop bombing Gaza as well.

We need to stop vilifying and demonizing each other, nobody is subhuman, christian or Muslim

Both sides have committed serious atrocities, it won't be fair to blame one side

Palestinians should have their own country, though it appears like a pipedream now going by the current reality, but violence isn't the way to go

Yes it is confirmed! A 59 yr old Mother and 18 yr old daughter are released to the red cross.

This is seen as a move to delay the IDF GROUND OFFENSIVE at the very least.

This could even be a ploy meant to trigger more international pressure on Israel to recalculate their ground offensive.

This will only buy the terror group more time to prepare terror attacks on the Israeli soldiers and civilians.

What is playing out on the World stage are pure Biblical Events leading speedily to the End of this gentile age, as GOD ALMIGHTY is set to turn HIS focus to His firsy norn and Chosen nation the Israel. So as to save those of them who are yet to Belive in JESUS CHRIST as their LORD and SAVIOR.

With ALL that's happening simultaneously....
With ALL the amazing prophetic signs converging....
I truly believe the TRUMPET COULD SOUND AT ANY SECOND!!

At any moment,  God the Father, could look at God the Son and say:
"SON...GO GET YOUR BRIDE!"


Come to a Genuie relationship with JESUS CHRIST. Live ready ooo! To avoid stories that touch the Heart.

Imagine these people using children to play victims whereas they are the criminals. The world will be a peaceful place when we set religion apart and allow humanity to take place. Israelis were provoked to retaliate and the consequence of their actions is more brutal. This will sound as warning to the terrorists all over the world. Don't spill the first blood because the consequences will be brutal.

The reason why Nigerian Christians have been brainwashed to see a "humanitarian crisis" as a "religious war" is because the farcist Zionists are in charge of global media houses.

The international news on TV stations, Radio stations and Newspapers pages in Nigeria are just an echo of the Western media outlets.

Same media that said Ukrainians are "brave and patriotic", called Palestinians "terrorists" for doing exactly same thing.

Just two days ago, Columbia a majority Catholic Christian country expelled the Israeli Ambassador in Columbia over war crimes going on in Gaza. Are Nigerian Christians dumb or just heartless?

I don't belong to any religion. I just hate hypocrisy and injustice metted to defenseless people of Palestine.

You don’t mess with Israel because they don’t forgive or forget terror on their soil and they don’t read the New Testament. They read Old Testament which is patterned after mosaic laws of an eye for an eye. Na Israelis calm German people body, after waging WW1, Germans waged another war against the world- WW2 but their greatest undoing was killing jews. A lot of youngsters supporting Palestine today have never heard of the most powerful secret intelligence agency in the world which is Israeli mossad Aliya bet’. They smuggled out more than 6m jews from Europe to America during the world war and today they control most of the big businesses in US. Mossad went further to track, bring to trial and had sentenced to death all hitler’s henchman who participated in Jewish genocide, the last being Adolph heischmac who was tracked to Argentina inspite of the fact he did plastic surgery that changed his face, was tried in Nuremberg and executed courtesy of mossad - Go and read night the novel that won Elie Wiesel Nobel prize in literature for non fiction. During the 1973 Olympics Palestines killed almost the entire Jewish team but Israel mossad put together one of the deadliest strike forces ever known in human history led by Abner Levi. The Palestines that did the killings were all mowed down one after the other. They were killed all over Europe. One became an ambassador in Germany and was killed by a telephone bomb- the last one ran to an Arab country and they gave him the highest security in the country to avoid dying that was around 1975 but Abner and his men was able to break the immigration, country and hotel security to get him- they just told him “Munich 72” and he started crying before Abner killed him with a silencer gun- read the black September a non fiction which also have a movie adaptation that won the academy awards. In 1977 Idi Amin kept boasting he will deal with Jews that when the Palestines hijacked an Airplane going from Tel Aviv to London no nation in Middle East agreed to allow them land when they heard they were Jewish hostages but the foolish Amin agreed to allow them land in Uganda. Mossad coordinated a rescue mission never seen any where in the world- headed by Colonel Joseph Netanyahu- elder brother to the current prime minister Benjamin who was also part of the squad . They rescued the entire Israeli hostages of more than 200 people but Joseph was shot at the back by a dying Ugandan soldier and eventually died in Israel- Read the Non fictional book “Raid at Entebbe” which also has an award winning movie adaptation , that time they called themselves PLO while today they call themselves hamas so Israelis are not a stranger to these kind of crises

Honestly Nigerians Baffles me.

There's nothing different between the people that Supports israel bombardment of innocent Civilians and The people that supports and defends Tinubu's worst form of Government.

Supporting evil is a common thing for many Nigerians, truth and humanity is a taboo to them.

What amazes me the most if that the same people that defends Tinubu still has the effrontery to accuse pro israelis as wicked where in real sense they are all the same.

Do you mean that those people who para-glided into a country and attacked young, unarmed, innocent, and happy youths in a rave are not subhuman?
Do you mean that those who fired a rocket from their domain to kill their peers in a hospital nearby are not subhuman?
Do you mean that those who slaughtered and burned babies alive in their colt are not subhuman?
Do you mean that those who cheer those who did all those things I mentioned are not subhumans?
Do you mean that those whose religion gave them a core mandate to slaughter all Jews and Christians are not subhuman?


If they are not subhuman and are called humans, then I confidently reject being referred to as a human. Its a shame to be referred to in a collective term with the aforementioned.
