Tomorrow a hostage release will begin. Not all the hostages, but it's a beginning, hopefully.

Starts Friday, 8am eastern time.

Don't know as to why they have to return a few hostages at a time. Let these people return to their families !

@skatting44   If there's ever been a war with lots of logic and care involved, I haven't lived through it or studied it.   War is ugly.

But how best to make this happen?

These exchanges seem so lopsided in the number of people released.

   We are giving them 10  Billion Dollars

   I cry every time I see their  families on TV  begging for their loved ones to be released . There's even an infant girl whom I heard was a US citizen

 (corrected from 10 million )

@skatting44  We are giving them 10 Million Dollars. 

In addition to the US pledge of $100M for humaritian aid other countries are doing the same. EU $78M, Egypt and Qatar $500M. Rowanda is sending 70Tons of supplies.

And that's just a drop in the bucket of what will be needed just on the short term.

Hamas  , went in a murdered the people, Israel had to go in.

 What  no confirmation that any Americans were released today among the 13. Why 13 and not the 15 they said were to be released . Sounded like several Philippinos were released  who went through a different negotiation channel .
