  1. It’s sad that only the innocent people who have nothing to do with the war or the hate between the 2 groups are the actual victims! Hamas kidnapped 300 Israelis and cause the destruction of the entire Gaza and death of more than 20k people. Is liberating a few hundreds of jailed people was work the death and the destruction of the entire Gaza? How can you call that a win? Please be realistic and don’t get too excited. I’m all for freedom and having Palestinians people living in their own lands and freedom with dignity, but do the math of what just happened.

  2. Only way to avoid innocent deaths, is to not make war. Hamas started it. The death toll without the hostages would be a lot more. Hamas has coldly calculated with the lives of the people who voted for it.

  3. Believe Iseal will not honor the temporary pause, too.

  4. why 50 hostages for 150 prisoners it doesn’t make sense. It should be one for one. Supposedly they believe an eye for an eye. This is what makes me mad about ISRAEL.

  5. So ultimately 100 people the terrorist organization Hamas took during their terrorist act for 300 people who seem to be in jail for committing crimes? Sounds about right.

  6. Hamas pure evil sick. Devils minions. No comparison

  7. Imagine..I see in video..some Palestinian they terrorist there neighbours…either children,woman and men’s..now they cry because they are arrested

  8. Why was Isriael holding 150 people as hostage for years? And pretending as if they had done nothing?

  9. 50 to 150 ??? what kind of deal is that?????😡😡😡

  10. If Netanyahoo cares about the hostages, he wouldn't have murdered more than 12,000 innocent civilians.

  11. How about the 12,000 dead civilians? And their families? Nobody care anymore?

  12. YouTube is violating freedom of speech: Israel is carrying out a deliberate campaign from north to south to make Gaza uninhabitable. This campaign includes destroying all of Gaza’s hospitals. The message Israel is sending is clear: Nowhere is safe, if you stay in Gaza you will die.
    Israel is not attacking hospitals in Gaza because they are “Hamas command centers.” Israel is systematically and deliberately destroying Gaza’s medical infrastructure as part of a scorched earth campaign to make Gaza uninhabitable and escalate a humanitarian crisis. It intends to force 2.3 million Palestinians over the border into Egypt, from where they will never return. 
    Israel has already destroyed and nearly emptied the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia is next. Israel is deploying tanks and armored personnel carriers around the hospital and has fired rounds into the building. Flyers are dropped by Israel over a hospital telling people to leave because the hospital is a base for “Hamas terrorist activities.” Ambulances are blown up by Israeli missiles, power and water is cut, medical supplies are blocked, there are no painkillers, antibiotics and oxygen. The most vulnerable, premature babies in incubators and the gravely ill, die. Israeli soldiers raid the hospital and force everyone out.

  13. ..ви це допустити дозволили терористам росії тридцять років убивати,а тепер росіяни заплатили хамасу щоб вони відрізали дітям голови ,все почалося тридцять років назад коли росіяни почали убивати людей дітей стариків у Молдові потім Чеченців Грузинів , Росія тридцять років веде безперервні вбивства війну!! Коли росіяни доберуться до Америки вони заберуть Аляску і повбивають американських дітей подякуєте продажним політикам та газетам купленим путіним за криваві російські долари
