Israel says it has received three hostages, after they were released in Gaza ceasefire | BBC News

Three Israeli hostages have been handed to the Red Cross in Gaza, before their transfer to Israel, the Israeli military confirms.

Before the handover, Hamas named them as 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and 24-year-old Romi Gonen.

Hamas says for every hostage released, 30 Palestinian prisoners will be released from Israeli jails.

The long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza came into force after a last minute delay, with displace Palestinians beginning to return to the cities they fled.

Whoever tells you that life is valued the same world wide, you are being fooled. The war in Gaza has shown us all what value life has.

[HispleMedia]

So a British-Israeli is among the hostages and the British BBC has been busy supporting Hamas. That is unbelievable 😂😂

Why Palestinians are considered prisoners if they are detained without trial in Israeli prisons.

Prisoners vs Hostages terse words that speak volumes.

There is a very big difference between a hostage and a murderer!!!!

Start reporting EQUALLY, BBC. Why mention hostages for one side and convicts for the other??? I'm weary of your incapacity to play fairly. For example, the Israelis are detaining doctors as hostages who have done nothing wrong.

One of the worst telecast channels. BBC should not be taking any credit of fair journalism

[ROG]

What about the Palestinian hostages? Have they been released?

[carlpierce]

BBC start reporting EQUALLY why say hostages for one side and prisoners for the other ???? Im sick of your inability to play fair. For example the Israelis are holding doctors guilty of nothing - a hostage !!!!

– The English author, journalist and essayist George Orwell (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), author of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, died seventy four years ago almost today, at the age of forty-six - Yet he understood the politics surrounding this conflict better than most.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”---George Orwell

BBC take note!

[marweyaismail]

How telling that BBC does not report on the state of Israeli prisoners(NOT HOSTAGES) as opposed to the condition of Palestinian prisoners. Clearly, BBC is not beholden to the people for their funding.

[adamronengorlovitzki]

Why doesn’t BBC reports one of this hostages and her mom meeting her are British ?

Just weird journalism
