In recent days there has been a lot of news about the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Whatever your opinion on the deal (and this writer has her own), the fact that the Israeli (and American) hostages are being freed is a good thing.
That first hostage transfer appears to be beginning, according to Israeli news:
Israeli news reports that the first step to transfer the hostages to the Red Cross is beginning.

Let’s hope everything goes well.
Does Israel have contingency plans for pregnancy or the return of newborns (God forbid) and how to deal with such Islamic propaganda?

We hope so.
Marvelous! It is also disgusting that the Red Cross, which has done nothing for the hostages, has a prominent role in the process. It’s a shame because many who don’t know will think well of the RC based solely on optics.

Yes, it more or less is.
I should be happy.
So why am I so angry?

The treatment is not very good.
This author hopes that the terrorists Israel releases as part of this agreement will end up being eliminated in the near future.
There is hope, however the Red Cross has done NOTHING for the hostages so far. I don’t trust them for a moment, I will never fund them again. Not a single cent. https://t.co/bSsThyD1Eo

It really is.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the hostages and their loved ones. Let everyone come home.
