#Israel #Gaza #Hostage
Israel must free the 5,000 plus Palestinian prisoners , women , children & babies , who have been languishing for the longest while . These Palestinians have families too , who also loves & misses them . Or is it Israel hostages means more than Palestinian prisoners ?
Look up the definition of hostage and prisoner, and you have your answer. You made the distinction, own it.
Hamas=criminals
@Chalemi Bug Look up the meaning of Genocide .Apartheid , Occupation .
@shahadath kadir Awwww
2 million Arabs live in peace in Israel. There is no apartheid. Populations being genocided do not grow in population like the Palestinians…@shahadath kadir
Say goodbye.
Your News casts are nauseatingly biased. Not one mention about the thousands of families that have been obliterated by Israeli rockets and bombs. Disgusting!
Hamas should stop using families to hide behind.
This families would live, when Hamas didn’t attacked Israel! They was also offered a ceasefire when the hostages were released!
God Bless Israel
No
God actually forbids a Jewish state
@Cleopatra God Bless Israel
@Cleopatra God bless Palestine
The Arab States forgot about their war in Yemen.
Saudi zionist wars for Israel Jewish interests exploiting Muslims and the west
I have a feeling that the hostages are being held under the hospitals in the tunnels…and the IDF knows that..
That could be the real reason because Hamas doesn’t want to negotiate anymore.
Qatar??? The little piece of nothing on the map??
the net worth of several Hamas leaders — all of whom, it notes, live hundreds of kilometres from Gaza, in Qatar. Abu Marzuk, deputy chair of the Hamas Political Bureau is worth $3 billion, while senior leaders Khaled Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh are each worth about $4 billion.
@Jeff ToddWhat he implies is that it’s tiny land to decimate and conquer if it comes to that.
Yes they have money, they have been financing Hamas and even buys their electricity for them. Imagine why? Because they support their ideology. Qatar is on the same equivalence to Iran in the Axis and should be treated that way.
Rich Arab countries paying poor Arabs to be their proxy armies to die for their ideology. They pay money for how many people were kidnapped and killed in Israel and US
Bigger than isreal 😏
Don’t talk about your self like that 😏
I feel sorry for your mom
care to elaborate on why Qatar?? want to let people know that’s where the billionaire Hamas leaders are hiding while their people die?

Stop sending people over there. Not hard
Israeli Saudi zionist wars
Jonathan Lewis, 17, is ‘beaten to death’ by huge swarm of bullies in Las Vegas ‘after standing up for smaller friend who they’d just robbed
– This won’t be shown on YouTube
If the honchos who run Qatar are good for anything, they will get all the hostages released.
US cant influence Qatar, our leadership is too weak, they dont respect us
What about the hostages held by the terrorist state of Israel.
💜💜💜
🙏💙
A hypocrites media, how long do you think you are gonna justify israel’s genocide?
😂😅😂😅😂 Biden is sending a TOP official 😂😅😂😅😂 To do what try and collect his 10%😂😅😂😂
Biden Jewish interests only
I’ve noticed a very big difference in the behavior of the pro Palestine people and the pro Israel people…
Palestinians needs more donations from 🇺🇸
@robert tateNot enough tunnels?😂
@robert tatebut Israel ends up taking the billions
Especially after Saudi zionists behind 911
Look up the Hannibal Protocol
You talk about hostages but not about 12000, Palestinians killed and 5000 of them children ? The hostages have names and faces but 12000 a number , faceless humans. All lives matter why this hypocrisy and bigotry? Why this labeling one group that needs to be saved and another group sacrificed like animals? America has lost respect and dignity for their blindness and their inability to understand war crimes, atrocities, apartheid regime abuses root cause.
Hostage taking by Israel Psy op😅.
I don’t believe you Western media.
1200 killed in Israel, 240 hostages, 11,000 bombed in Gaza
BS
Our government is out of control it become a zi0nist state are Israel now who rule the white house ?!!
They sent the government employee that steals luggage
🧳
All the 1000s Kidnapped kids, women and civilian men in Israeli prisoners😢
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of GOD, have mercy on me, a sinner”
Please pray these words now 🙏 and please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you actually do it and continue to do it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of GOD”
💯🙏
What did you do to have to beg for mercy? I am a nice person. I don’t feel like a sinner. Why do you? Maybe you should become a good human being instead of begging god to have mercy on you as a sinner. But everyone is a sinner right? Says who? I’m a good man and lived from my heart and morals. If you didn’t do that don’t preach to me
@Amir Eghbal If those be your ethics then I urge you to read the Quran, it’s a clear message and truth for people who reason.
It ISN’T blind faith.
@Rigged2Explode I follow Indian meditation and yoga. Muslims committed too many atrocities from beginning of Islam. I have no interest in Quran or Islam.
5000 kid’s slaughtered so far by Israel and thousands more severely injured, thousands buried under their building’s they once called their homes, history will tell the truth and their will be no hiding from that. Shame on Israel and America
Great story, just wish you could stop ending each news snippet with the annoying voiced guy at the end.
They should send Palestinians protester for exchange
Yes
DOG DOG
What happened to: “America does not negotiate with terrorists”
Saudi zionists created this war with Israel exploiting Muslims and the west
Lol many of these so called terrorists exist from our dealings in the middle east. Don’t get me started on the south America organizations
I don’t understand why, if Israel is having such success in its ground war, it has so far been unable to release any hostages.
yeah..
maybe their are no Hostages, or maybe the hostages are already being killed on October 7 attack by the IDF itself. there are interviews in one of the ISRAEL survivor on OCT7 attack, that the ISRAEL.D.F killed the HAMAS and the hostages on the house, they had bomb and killed them knowing their are hostages inside the house. She even saw his boyfriend killed Infront of her by the IDF.
and there are accounts that from air the IDF indiscriminate firing while their people are running for their life. which the WEST MEDIA’S are not broadcasting.
They are all under tunnels and it’s difficult to get those hostages when they are 70 feet deep in the ground
@Lokesh Prasad I don’t think that’s the problem. I don’t think Israel has a clue where most of them are.
What makes you think Israel WANTS those hostages released? As long as the hostages are not released, Israel has an excuse to keep killing Palestinians and driving them out of Gaza.
Why dont we go to the tunnels and get the hostages. Since when do we need Quatars approval 🤷
Netenyahu and his pride and entitlement to acting as if he is not responsible for civilian deaths now breaking past 10,0000 is unacceptable. It’s genocide and he is specifically choosing it with the stated excuse that hamas is using civilians as human shields. No. The IDF under his command is specifically striking civilians. If hamas is there or not is irrelevant. The IDF is knowingly, specifically and consistently killing civilians with total disregard for the reality of committing genocide as it is specifically described by international law. Also, the total quantified megatons dropped on Gaza has now eclipsed the total megaton level of the nuclear bomb used on Hiroshima; and that’s a fact, not an opinion.
If you cared about hostages so much , you would have negotiated from the beginning Mr . We know you only want Gaza land and everyone can say he won. 230+ hostages to over 10000 killed. You will be haunted for the rest of your life , no tyrant gets away with killing innocent lives especially babies children. Dosen’t matter which country or religion you are. And your the Israel Zionists tyrant
Qatar is playing both sides lol 😂
Saudi zionists created this war with Israel dont be deceived exploiting Muslims and the west
Saudi zionists created this war with Israel exploiting Muslims and the west through usury deception and economic exploitation of the taxpayers
Stop war savage cowards
Then ask to free occupants!
These are not hostages, occupants of our land
😂😂😂
There are more than 5,400 Palestinian prisoners, many of them minors, now Israel has doubled the unjust detentions. Since 1948, the creation of the Zionist state, Palestinians were massacred and have been denied the most basic rights, continuous illegal colony settlements, occupied territories, no free movement, no right to have their own army…..Israel It continually violates international law, in one month more than 11,000 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza, and this year more than 200 Palestinians have been murdered in the West Bank by the Israeli army and no Western media has spoken about them. I am surprised by European and American egocentricity. Do you think your life is more valuable than the rest? All lives are equal
KTWATAR? Har har har! NUKE IT!!!
Hes sending mayor Pete bootyjuice?…. or kamel toe harris??????
Exchanging human beings for consensus. Does our value as a human being is so low when we don’t hold any power or position?
The recent uptick in Bitcoin’s value marks a significant moment in the cryptocurrency market, indicating not just a temporary spike but the onset of a potentially larger trend. This positive trajectory reflects growing investor confidence and suggests a broader shift toward global cryptocurrency acceptance. The movement presents a prime opportunity for investors, especially day traders, to capitalize on Bitcoin’s bullish momentum, highlighting the importance of strategic investment during such pivotal market trends. I’ve personally benefited from following Linda Wilburn trading tactics, amassing 23 bitcoins in a short seven weeks period, which speaks volumes about her expertise.
What impresses me most about Roland is how well she explains basic concept of winning before actually letting you use her trade signals. This goes a long way to ensure winning trades..
@Hamm NeilEven when Bitcoin is looking bearish with the market sentiment swinging low. But she kept us grounded with her real analysis, just the facts in the charts.
How!! I know it’s possible I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it

Netanyahu, kendisi dışında herkesi aptal olarak görüyor. Yıllardır işgal amacıyla bebekleri, hastaneleri bombalayan, masum insanları öldüren kişinin natenyahu gibiler olduğunu görüyoruz. Terörizm masum insanları, hastaneleri ve çocukları öldürmek demektir. Bunu Neranyahu yapıyor.
Savunması tam bir fiasko amerikanın eski başkanları ırak’ta nükleer var diyip ırak’a girip 2 milyon masum insanı katledip bazı kadınlara çocuklara tecavüz edip öldürmesini iyi birşey yapmışlar gibi örnek gösteriyor yani asıl teröristler ülkelerini işgal etmek için girip hastaneleri bombalayıp bazı kadınlara tecavüz edip çocukları öldürüp ve onlara terörist diyenlerin ta kendileri asıl terörist netanyahu. gerçek bir müslüman hiçbir masum insanı asla öldürmez.. işit gerçek müslüman değil islamı karalamak için piyasaya netanyahu gibilerin sürdüğü yalancılar teröristler ve netenyahu gibiler aynı isa’yı öldürmek için tüm erkek bebekleri öldüren kral herod gibi bebekleri dahi öldüren aynı terörist kral herod inancına sahip canavar
are they really hostages or are they just prisoners? after all, they were just trying to trade them to get their own people back werent they?
The youngest hostage, Kfir, is a 9-month-old baby boy.
@M you ever seen a pregnant palestinian expire at a checkpoint for no other reason then the guards wouldnt let her get to a hospital? thats daily life in gaza.
TRUTH IS.. There is NO such things as Palestinian history. There is NO Palestinian language. Palestine is NOT a country. Palestine is a tiny geographic AREA but NEVER BEEN a country.
Palestine has NEVER EVER itself been an independent state! Palestine has no government, no borders, no citizens and no sovereignty. Their statehood is in a direct and indirect rule of Israel for over 50 years.
Viva Israel forever = Apple of God’s Eye!!!!♥
How do you rescue hostages under all that rubble? Someone is lying here. Where are they going to look?
Sorry about the the counter attack and hostages but Gaza has the right to defend ifself so that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Qatar is also a terrorist country & biggest supporter of terrorists.
HELLO! is anyone thinking about the possibility that IRAN is requesting the hostages from Hamas and Palestine leaders?funneling captives thru tunnels at EGYPTIAN boder?I”M almost sure of it!.how helpful is EGYPT towards ISRAEL?
Little familiar with the president peanut farmer and his little hostage thing you remember in Iran well I guess everybody can can they don’t want to listen to the holy man
