  1. I believe Israel is doing all it can and we need to give the Government time to move so that they do not give in to hamas …. Praying for all that are still in captivity.. and the. Gazans who suffer , suffer due to hamas and its cruelty on its people, not due to Israel.. you need to make that clear.

  2. How they took 350 hostage and stay hours inside iseraael
    There is no police or army🤔

  4. She won’t say anything against Hamas because she’s worried the terrorists will do something to the rest of the hostages as revenge, including her husband who’s still inside if I’m not mistaken. Only after they are all free, we will know what they actually been through

  5. Israel is not only starving the people of Gaza, but also their own on the other side. They are not trying to save any life in Gaza. They want to destroy Gaza and are using hostages as scapegoats to justify the genocide of Gaza.

  6. T/he last time this women was thanking the Hamas soldier

  7. 1:43 Hamas are you listening to your people while you are living in luxury, or do you care only about yourself 🤔

  8. She is so very lucky to be alive.

  9. At least these Israelis will experience what Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing for the last 17 years

  10. Egypt is a muslim nation but they don't want the "palestinian" arabs. Same goes for Jordan and every single one of the 22 Islamic nations which surround Israel. They never have wanted them. Not in decades. They consider them militant trouble makers and refuse them entry, even temporarily until hamas is eliminated.

  11. Leaders of Hamas says there are two conditions to that .
    1- stopping the genocide in Gaza and the on-going ethnic cleansing.
    2- the release of 7000 Palestinian prisoners.
    And this is a piece of cake to be accepted , NOW.

  12. 😂Chilling she said every thing was OK now she changed her statement😂

  13. Get the regime out, get Netanyahu out

  14. ☠️☠️☠️But this is the woman who was praising hamnas immediately after her release her daughter was translating and she was not happy with idf …how come she changed her opinion

  15. The war Israel is fighting is against people of Gaza they bombed them, they destroyed their homes land
    Now they want to starve them and as you know there isn’t any medical facilities so they want them to die without treatment of diseases they catch.
    But they won’t accept it as always they are good at lying

  16. Zionosts are arrogant and they are more concerned about their killing spree than freeing hostages.

  17. This is heartbreaking praying for all affected by this

  18. one noticeble factors in this gazan interview is the lack of ther supposed leaders to manage their situation, no gazan goverment representative, all is in the productive business of waging violence and digging tunnels…..everyone its seems is preoccupied in working for the dis-accreditation of Israel. no one cares about the misery of this ordinary gazan people and their future.

  19. "Hostages need to ger out today" but Natanyahu dosent listen

  20. Praying 🙏 for all hostages to be released. Prime minister of Israel has to do something fast to get all hostages out of Gaza. Praying 🙏 they are safe.

  21. Yeah they won’t live because of Israeli terr0rist bombs

  22. Interesting how she didn’t even mention Hamas when talking about the possible fate of the hostages. She never once put the blame on Hamas, and It’s very telling how instead she called out the US and Israel for continually opposing calls for a ceasefire, knowing that without one, her husband along other hostages will suffer from starvation and lack of aid.

    And she’s 100 percent right. The lives of the remaining hostages are dependent on a ceasefire, they’re living in a constant threat of being bombed, but now they live in a constant threat of dying slowly from starvation, dehydration, infection, etc.

  23. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

  24. Go safely and swiftly IDF to find and rescue the hostages before it’s too late 🙏🙏🙏💓🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

  25. Bikin drama lagi bohong lagi sudah karakter Israel tukang bohong dunia GK percaya aktingmu FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸
