Hamas handed out strange gift bags to released hostages, sparking outrage and concern over their intentions during the hostage release.
Gaza: So, here’s the deal. When Hamas released some Israeli hostages, they handed them these weird “gift bags.” It was all part of a strange show before the hostages were turned over to the Red Cross.
The bags had some odd stuff in them, like photos of the hostages during their captivity and a certificate. Can you believe that? The Israeli news outlet Ynet reported on it, and it just feels so off.
Three hostages—Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher—were filmed getting into a car. Then, out of nowhere, a Hamas guy gives them these paper bags with the group’s logo. It’s like they were trying to make a statement or something.
These women were smiling while holding up these fancy certificates, almost like they were graduating or something. But it felt forced, and they later called it a “cynical game” meant to manipulate them, according to the Jerusalem Post.
In a video shared by the Times of Israel, you can see the hostages being driven through Gaza City in a convoy of armed terrorists. The crowd was wild, banging on the windows and chanting. It was chaotic.
Eventually, they made it to a Red Cross convoy and were handed over safely. This whole situation is just so bizarre and unsettling, and it raises a lot of questions about what’s really going on.
