i sang to the point of sitting at a distance that type grows. uh so this just a moment to, to be that am i to do with our loved ones. i can no told my kids, i'm sorry. i did not expect my hot button to be really easy. i had a ceiling that he has gone to florida, but at this moment i cannot believe that i wouldn't be meeting with him and he has arrived at i pray to god that a thank god that i thank the resistance moment for bringing visually to us a little bit about colonel. how did you feel when he was behind as a bar then how long has he been to spend the day? i think it takes a lot of time. that would be a fee. no no, no, no, no, no, i got the most. yeah. that'd be the happiest one on the before that i almost did. i did not even expect that my husband has been to stay alive. i did most believe that . i'm only doing that. i would say i don't have time to meet with them again. and this is my live dream. i am again grateful in many public city and families did not

expect to completely. 5 meet their beloved ones again, given the fact that those type of piano prisoners behind is by the pause are completely during unimaginable sorts of physical and psychological. to chop ideas about the military for such families as has been a dream for them that today come through and they just are only moments away from reuniting again with the family members. with this were meant to be re unite to the gun with her husband that she has spent long, sleepless nights without attempt on today for her. this is a history on symbolic big tree that had been completely unbelievable on this day. it has come true and she is desperately waiting for her husband to finish his medical check to be re united to and to in praise. his complete freedom today for the 1st time ever sorry,

there is so much happening in the gaza strip right now. i mean high intensity emotional moments there were is really captives that were released from the gaza strip. after having been detained there more than 400 and more than 400 days. there are the policy and prisoners that were detained and is really jails that ours we seeing. this is what you're looking at right now. being released back into the gaza. and there are also palestinians for the 1st time, are being allowed in months, are being allowed to cross out of the gaza strip into egypt to receive critical medical care with all these going on is it, are you able to describe the overall move in gaza right now well virginia is that most fee and you guys are right now sir, is, is a mix of relief, excitement and grief for those people who have been separated from the loved ones

to get treatment outside the gaza strip at the moment in the ruthie. and so the, uh, the general sentiment i can see on the outside in the eyes of everyone here is extreme level of happiness. people are right now. ok, chanting sign up, right thing. there are just trying to perform national music and every one of them for, for them today is a day of celebration. we can see the level of joy on devices in the eyes of elderly women, children, and men who came today's here to be re unite to the guns with the family members. you can hear the back of ground. the sounds of celebration. this is a storage moment for such families. for them they did not expect that they would be reunited again. but they believe that what has been done by the policy in on groups how to enable them to completely be re united with the family members. we can just take a look on the other side of the i'll be i'll be up the roads families right now are set up or i think so i'm saying they are trying to even distribute

a celebratory suites as a part of the palestinian tradition that has been completely seen on every single picture youtube or national assembly, or even festival, to be completely taken place in a garza so apparently such families bring groceries bring a celebratory suites. are they all dress beautifully with the policy and national dress up for such moments as we believe that this woman must not be gone without celebration without sharing the service there on a completely uncontrollable happiness that we continued to see on the faces on the words on the axe here in the rookie and hospital for them, the victim for good old the buttons that they have enjoyed since day one of the a russian of the is really minute 3 year old, the gaza strip. because this is a moment for them that will bring a ton of happiness. but it's absolutely it with different sorts of very

a fridge island. 6 memories of the scenes of the blood, the scenes of destruction that they have been doing now they continue to celebrate . they continue to chit chat, this moment that has been widely seen as a big treat for palestinian people in fact, through antarctic. this is a point that you've made before, but i think it's, it's one worth raising again as we look at this, since this is happening live, these palestinian prisoners who've been out of gas that they've been in this really jails when they're done with their medical checks and they've been reunited with their families. they are returning to a completely different gaza strip. different from the one they knew were so much has been destroyed. the human cost has been huge. 47000 people have been killed. and the land itself has completely changed, which we've entire parts of the strip completely destroyed. this is what they're returning to the well uh, serial. uh they were originally uh,

seized and is ready prism backed up. all sorts of essential basically too many terry and the assistant to you know, that are reunited again. we understand that the landscape that they are returning to right now has completely changed due to the is rarely military genocidal campaign. on god's last, they understand that they have lost many of the friends, many of the beloved ones by the time right now for them is to rejoice to feel the real taste of happened as they have been deprived from housing proper amount of food in the east valley paused the what tortured, physically and emotionally they have been better. 5, i'm terrified my b r i d is ready military and i kind of right now talk to one of those. tell us the new fathers who has been waiting desperately to be re unite to the gun with his us with his son that has been spending get behind is ready,

but i'll take it out for you. what have you like to see yellow cool? why? because what, because i had better cool my what's your cost, what's on my car, i'd like to what he'd done. but then i'm. a it cool by the, the, all the after so doing it is slightly. yeah. the behind is really bars for a long. my feeling is in this could have a, is mix grease with is or big. so we don't buy pieces only because he was going to being freed yet. i feel agree that he has been released in a very dire moment with all our homes have been living. many loved ones killed and the thousands and they will come to see his family. not waiting for him, they have been displeased. what on the morning to can you and is this the same as i saw so fans. however, today i must say, he admitted then i love the amenities of the dead in the matter. so i'm not to,

don't remember what the up as described by the united nation today. the human, really, the man has been afraid of how he has been described as a hey, i'm going to tell you in what champion he has been behind is really, but i was going on exactly that. and without any accusation, i communicated with me to the when the officials today, i received a letter from the united nations and thanking me for the services provided by my son. he has been providing humanitarian services to the people base. and so i'll just say, well, the wouldn't do. the hungry the day, my son has been free to day, i proudly say to the whole world that my son to be in the mountains. he has

a very good thing that the doctor who shot and had a b a. he is one of the didn't. however, he is one of the key officials in the united nation released and what agents the owner was on. his son is a kid, a humanitarian activist in the human and carrying fields and gods of that has been arrested by these by the minute 39 years ago. and he's been long years behind the is what he bought for the credit and many of the palestinians, fathers, they at this moment to support them, will completely be everett's, like simple, emotional, and completely overwhelming with a mix of feeling. i agree for the use that is it has spent without saying to son and for the car enjoy that control control completely controlling him due to the fact that he's right now, free without the boss without was just around him and keep him completely under constant psychological to just 0. i'm sorry, god was reporting live from fun. eunice, in the southern part of the gaza strip, outside the european aust, it'll were

a policy and prisoners that have been detailed in is really jails have just been released to there is some of them. many of them now getting medical checks and also being reunited with their families. tory, thank you very much. we'll speak again the spring and bustle for ours and assistant professor of deals. h university, a specialist on political prisoners. you're joining us from occupied east jerusalem . it's good to have you with us in the program. look, we've had countless testimonies and accounts and reports of palestinian prisoners receiving poor treatment when they had been detained in is really jails. can you give us details on what that means receiving for treatment? yeah, so i mean, that's the immediate insight as to the beginning of the genocide, that's really present services, which is in charge of printing extensions facilities. and the se he presents the immediately went through with the minimum minimum of mazda prior to that. but as to the business and the to needs have had this man uh, the withdrawal of, uh,

it looks like a couple of minutes that the 9 of any access to the outside world, the complete and communication with the family members as a patient, some family members that they need to communicate with lawyers what's to be restricted in addition to the subject thing, but it's taking into business and it can be used to bring to violence and torture. we've heard of the stories, but assuming that any is being detained in a brutal fashion, being escorted in the body, very, very violent fashion beaten torches. it hurt testimonies of freedom that city to man detention facility. so we're talking about the situation. what about his thinking, the business have, for at least the beginning of this war been subjected to brutal methods of torture and violence. the had been the front of the nice, nice levels, but they can get, they've been placed in a systematic stead of asian jump. and we have witnessed the images of the students who have left embedded pretty steep, which at this to the be had been subjected to accuse important to know that this

fighters and this will be kind of t in some of them, you know, whether the in which has escalated asset october 7th is maybe not the best way for the students that kind of just really preaching because in fact, what has been taking place and such as a business, it's not feasible for that, but that is right. as long as i can step on just any buffering issues within the district you present into a more senior assess special. is there any kind of accountability, in other words for palestinian prisoners for then released could a get a lawyer for instance and say i want redress for what was done to me while it is really detention. but the discussion that i have to know to you that we are witnessing the scenes of but as to me as being liberated, we have to remember the is the didn't hold the bodies by the sidney and markers which i did during this genocide or kid inside this 80 percent. so we are talking

about a piece 68th, but it's been dismissed with luggage. i've been given since october 7th. these are, but it's the name is, is, will it go to the computer because of the torture and violence they had been killed inside the engine facilities, but of course the bodies likes to be gets pretty busy or just to the comfortability . i think the 1st agents that are using most luggage, but assuming business now the 2nd please answer this question is, is the kind of thing is actually find the this to the, should it be, have been subject to do? and i think the answer to this question, we can find that in history because since 2001 of them know it's ready to go directly at least to 1000 petitions against distributed equally, that buttons have been submitted by the best thing in the business. none of them have actually resulted in any form of engagement or accountability against as a disorder. so i see that we do not expect any formal debility from designate,

as you can, because instead of the way it functions that we can do, which is a musical functions, it keeps it from the fact that stimulates treated as racialized subjects as proved into this some humans and human to get started fluency or seek justice. that was 80 minutes reports. however, i do hope that international organizations and domestic community with understand what's the business that is there any businesses not completed incentives during this discuss to directly into a space. so again, this is why we are witnessing both stephen's, the point of seeing, visually determined is being celebrated because they know that this, that their loved ones are coming back from the dead. they're going back to my it. one of the she mentioned this is that something. c and i think this other, what's the deal with this machine? what is the worst companies to retrieve stuff as opposed to the demographics? what do we know about those posting released palestinian prisoners?

we're not being released into guys that already occupied westbank for occupying juice, east jerusalem, but who are being slowing out toward being deported as it were? so yes, we know from, from the commission of virginia there's we don't have that turned into but experience have been sent to the ship. the state is washed his wife instead of the black sentences for very high election, very high pals and sentences. we know that they must be sent to other locations, either ged or to other other states. we might have been trying, has been denied them on the 9th and the right to come back to that one because they didn't investigate the injures. how. what do we also know of that? but we, we do when sydney and the ones might not be able to show them because it didn't exist principal, but who would be able to be punished? thanks. so i do, i intend to the companies to the families of those who have been a horse to be by this time you'd be able to join them, disintegrate that a bit of freedom of upcoming c spy. and coming,

it seems agreements with most of it is assuming that the organization assuming business, hopefully they wouldn't be able to get to understand why. again, history because us that it has continues to be denied for not only the americans, but also we're going to send you the business with the city for the water speeds and the best. so for us, assistant professor bears h universities specialist on political prisoners. thank you for joining us. officer . thank you very much. bye. now. well, before the prisoners were released, 3 is relays. were freed from captivity and gaza. that's american is really national keith siegel seeing there. he appeared on stage and gaza city along with him on spiders and a public display of his release and he was been handed over to red cross stuff. israel's military has now confirmed seagulls arrival there. the. the great day has arrived. yes, i am happy. i am happy,

there was no one happier than me. i'm ready with everything and i'm going by to meet you. in hon unice, the french is really dual national captive ofa calderon also appeared on stage before being handed over to red cross officials. the hand over was much smoother than the release of captives days earlier described by israel as chaotic and in jordan b. this has been reunited with his father and sister of the being released also in hon. eunice. these really captive has under gone medical checks. he was kidnapped along with his wife and she only has on october 7, 2023. but their fate remains unclear with fears that they might be dead from us said that they had been killed by his really bombardments, in the early months of the gods award. and both the houses here as laura han is in jordan's capital

a mine and you're there laura because these really government and palestinian authority of bandit with a 0 from reporting inside israel and inside the occupied westbank. where are we on the release of the policy and prisoners, we have seen the buses. we have seen some of them released to ramallah. we have seen many released in hon. eunice, have they all now been released? in other words, is the captives versus prisoner exchange complete for today of the well, i am still waiting to see those 7 deported. we haven't received any video. any pictures coming in. we are getting reports from is right, the media, but they have the release that, that this is complete. but we're just waiting to verify that those 7 happy to pull to that was office 32 from the occupied westbank 25 were on the bus into the west bank so they should have to be released with the rest of the prisons. i should be full, but presence by now, but we're just going to, so the verify that,

but of course, we saw the scenes of jubilation and both the occupied westbank and because of strep, but i can just tell you that in ramallah, and we know that 10 of those, the chinese out those fold, the prison that's i say i have now be taken to the hospital as, according to the house, the prisoners club, which is an advocacy groups the rights of the policy president inside of his id child. they say that many of those were beaten in the week or so just before that they, they were released. some of them have broken ribs, but they're in, in a very bad health. so they all going to be checks. now as we've seen these ready to capt is also being checked in the hospitals. it seems as though they are in good health. so the course that they're in ramallah, they're now receiving a reception in the cultural center by the man who wish we seemed

a doctor. of our famous puts from there and that they're being greeted by friends and family, but there is a bit concerned about many of the prisoners who be released in the past few weeks, particularly for skate, these and all the skin diseases. and there was one that was released on the 1st day . his name was mohammed. it's about out that our food chose tougher the at the types of boys somebody at the end of the policy and either pepsi. they all have coverage in scales and very, very skinny. and they said essentially they've been deprived of so much food and water in the prison surface. but we've had some so many of those. testimonies coming from the prison is released in the past week. also, that conditions have just been deteriorating seriously since october the 7th 2023. the beginning because of your laura or we're looking at pictures of these are recently some pictures in the sense of our screen. so i want to make sure that i'm

clear of yours. they're 2 separate things going on in the center of your screen. are the palestinian prisoners that were released from ho for in the west bank and then taking to gaza and there. but you're seeing is when they are stepping off the bus inside the gaza strip. and earlier, what we covered live with laura or similar scenes actually, but in ramallah playing out in ramallah that's in the occupied west bank. laura, what is the thing i would point out there of yours that you spend a lot of time in the occupied with what is the feeling today? because i know, of course people are very happy to be reunited for those families that had not been able to see their loved ones where it is really detention. but i also know, and everybody's been telling us they are very mixed feelings. have been reporting from the try region to but i'll come back and full so many

years and the palestinian prisoners, the issue, the prisoners is out the front and center of the palestinian cause of what they've been going through, what they think suffering under the occupation. so that has seen many could tactics essentially by prism is over the past 2 years. so the are just trying to uncover the conditions inside of the presence. many have gone on hunger strike, some of them over stopping to death, a just to show to the world what is happening. but also you see these here as well come and both of the upside westbank and also does have people accepting them as heroes because they believes that they have been standing up for palestinians for what they've been going through through the thickness. see of the occupation for the many people who have been at killed, who are suffering on a daily basis. um not being able to even travel um for well around the occupied

westbank. people in the west side of the comp travel to garza, they comp travel to is, are they comp beach the see there are just so many issues inside this policy and issues. could they put those prisoners farmington center? so for them, especially to the prisoners, to a sub, a life sentence is a very long sentence says, this would be a relief. this would be also a chance to set up, right? them just sort of price. you know, the fact that they have stood up to the occupation. so this is how many people feel . but as he said, there is also mixed feelings. they're seeing a lot of them going into hospital now off to the mistreatment inside of this, right. the presence of many of those will be suffering from serious trauma. either they took that piece yes. the effects of post trauma, but many of them is still suffering the trauma because they're coming into the occupied foot west point. they will struggle to go home and even move from to need

refugee camp. that's been on the siege for the 2nd week by is ready forces the same with telecom that you sent some of them from there. and we've seen these ready so you can tell comments of the past 4 days. and there are so many more check points directed across the occupied westbank and road blocks making travel, almost impossible, people just on traveling from villages to towns to cities anymore. or if they do, it's under extreme caution, such as not traveling nice missile slipping. an uptick of it's ready settler tax in the up to our website. so of course, this is an area, this is the region that's under extreme pressure. and i just want to say the beginning of a cease by what is called on the 19th of january prime minister benjamin netanyahu didn't make it very clear that he was going to be sending a lot of those reserves as sold is a lot of the troops to the occupied westbank in there. what's to reach out to the spices being financing the occupation, but many people see this as, as

a system not as a systematic way of punishing the population of, of the west bank. so as i said, prison is already funds incentive, but they they have continuing to suffer from the rest of the occupation. laura laura han reporting from amman. jordan, thank you very much for your reporting. thank you for sharing your fuel experience with us this hour or a goldberg joins us now. is really political commentator. joining us from tel aviv were 4 or 5 hours into this. now, are you seeing these really captives released from gaza? seeing now the palestinian prisoners who have been released, some of them in minority in ramallah and the occupied west bank and the majority of them a 111 into the back into gaza. and one thing that we've seen already and, and i want to know from you how all of this is being received in israel. one thing that we've seen is, yes, of course, there's joy and elation for the families,

you know, who are reunited with their loved ones. there's a lot of pain and there is a lot of suffering to go around whether it's in gaza, whether it's in the west bank just before i let you answer. and just so, you know, we are seeing right now a helicopter landing until a be. so i can only assume that that would be one of the is really captives because there's a process to this. just a reminder of yours is a process to this. they are released by him us. they are brought out of captivity by him. us handed over to the i, c r c, the neutral red cross. they are then taken outside the gaza strip, where they are handled by is really military teams for a quick medical check to see if they can proceed and then beg your pardon. they are flown to a medical center in tel aviv, so the helicopter that you're seeing landing there on what looks like uh, yeah, outside of medical center, that is what you're seeing. that is one or more of these really captives that is now landing in tel aviv,

after more than $400.00 days of captivity inside the gaza strip. sorry for that long preamble or the, the thoughts and feelings inside israel today. hello cindy. anything does not register on these are the radar. these are, these are don't have the capacity to appreciate is. and a lot of us view palestinian thing as often as faults. pain that they could have presented. they could have some preventive feeling had they chosen correctly. had they returned to hostages and so on and so forth is of does not acknowledge its actions, and guys does not season is anything but a necessity are required by self defense. so the pain and suffering that you're describing, what you're seeing in the images from or my line guys are, is, are, these are not privy to them. and even if they were, i doubt they would registers and the same. but proof that if you make a wrong choice, you suffer the consequences as far as what it's what is happening is uh uh

there is joy. ready the return of the hostages, because there is also a tremendous amount of frustration and anger. and i think can generally be defined as a sense that uh israel's war, which was defined as the most justified borders of that other thought has after more than 15 months come to absolutely nothing or e, i'm. uh, i'm pausing just because we're taking in this footage, we have a shot this from quite a distance away from the cop they're having landed. and so is really captive. i see what i believe is a wheelchair being brought to the helicopter. so this would suggest that perhaps one or more of the, you know, the wheelchair is being the wheelchair is being pushed away. i was gonna say perhaps to suggest that they are not able to walk on their own. but that doesn't seem to be the case. after all, we're more we just stand by police for a 2nd as we,

as we watch this. okay, just stay with us. so this is key, siegel, one of these really captives was released earlier today inside because a strip who is a dual national is really american that has just landed in tel aviv and he was flown by, is really military helicopter. this was after getting a very preliminary medical check inside israel, but it location re e military base that is very near the gaza strip, is what this really is referred to as the gaza envelope, which is really the, the sort of a kilometer or 2 kilometer bandwidth. or circumference around the gaza strip. so he got a quick medical check there. and then on to in his really medical plan. uh no someone there is draped in the has the israel flag on his shoulders. it may be here am. i

can confirm that from this distance. yep. correct. that is keith siegel with the flag of israel. and he is being walked where he is walking to the to leave medical center. or a, we are still watching this live, watching this from quite a distance away. small group going inside the medical facility. i'm i right in assuming that the many, many people, many is really as right now are also watching this live. yes, i think the entire country is pretty interested in watching these images lives are being repeated.
