  1. Or if Hamas will just not bother with verification, or will drip the medicine on the ground in front of hostages. Can’t portray Hamas as humanitarians, that’s a lie.

  2. More than 5000 hostages taken by Israël inprisoned. How come They come Back in bodybags, totally decompôs-se after only 3 months of captivity?!?!? Without charge?????

  3. Johnathan can you close your eyes and touch your son, as if he is standing right there with you. Close your eyes be sure you really touch him. You will ❤bring him back. Johnathan do it now. ❤🇮🇱🇱🇷🙏💞

  4. Wow, so precious. We cry out to God for commanding His angels charge over every hostsge to be rescued now.. heartbraking testimonies

  5. Complain to the Red Cross. They refuse to do their job. The families asked the RC to take medicine to the hostages but they refused.
    If hospitals were destroyed it's because Hamas hid missile batteries under them.

  6. Heartbreaking💔
    I hope he will have a miracle and see his daughter very very soon!!!! And the same with all hostages, they should have big miracles and come back home NOW!!!! AMEN AMEN

  7. What about Plastine children and women they joking

  8. At least daughter is alive. Cant say that for gazan babies. Give back past decades of settlement land.

  9. OMG, that's the draaama !!! Are you kidding me? Compared what they did to Palestinian people in Gaza.

  10. Palestinians are missing burial of loved one…

  11. Unbelievable having to live with safe rooms because of a belief system of hate. Free rhe hostages.

  12. Don’t these people realise that the Palestinians in Gaza are being bombed and starved , do they actualy think medication will get to its destination whilst Israeli bombs Gaza , the people can’t even drink water as they need it , Israel controls everything into Gaza !

  13. Please praying to the G-d of Israel,return this father to his new baby.Also, Kfir Bibas was taken hostage when he was only 10 months old. His birthday was two days ago. Youngest hostage taken
    Reminds me of 9/11 ( also Islamic Jihad) All those families growing up with mothers or fathers.
    They couldn’t kidnap anyone on 9/11. Hamas worse than Al Queda. Stop Islamic Jihad now! 🇺🇸🇮🇱

  14. Whoever is praying for the hostages don’t forget to also pray for the 31,000 Palestinians that have been killed in the most horrific ways

  15. Praying for the hostage's home

  16. I'm so sorry. Imagine the trauma tge 6 year old must feel in particular.

  17. I would hate to be this hostage and get home and know that they killed 10,000 children just so I could live. Pretty disgusting

  18. Praying for the families of 24000 dead Palestinians

  19. Goes without saying that the Palestinian captives lost their children under the IDF.

  20. We are praying for your family

  21. Well, many people in Gaza never get to see their new born since they are dead or their pregnant wife is dead.

  22. You will get no where with Biden, Trump 2024 , he will bring your son home

  23. How many children were killed or mauled in Gaza – you people are cold-blooded – took many members of their families and bombed Gaza to the dust – and people should know that the Israeli military was involved in killing their own citizens on October 7 – by planes, helicopters, and tanks – Hamas doesn't have and their plan was just to take hostages.
