and also in the north of the site. now there are waiting for the field for months up to come to the stage as we can see right now. it has back out of the via to some new thing, palestinian gatherings, who came here today to upset the on to work, to the hands over the is by the talk to see is there anything different uh, certificates on how you post to be signed by the i c, r c members. now the sudden losing the crowds of people, people are celebrating samsung victory raising the sun victories. and now he is taking the lead to completely on sharing hands with his accounts of parts of the sorts of unity on the side of the stream. so that the how much movement has been over overseeing and they've been showing to the palestinian population as they understand the significance of some of the support of the civil, the phone. you know and bite says b i c r c. i'm about to take a seat. i'm to slap,

officially the appraisal clearance of hands and over the is when it comes to shaking. ha! now with the eyes you are. see now i'm the are signing the uh, the certificates for the hands all. and the release of it is what it kept. it's confirming that they well and they are going to successfully receive the as rarely top codes during the next coming moment. this sort of a postal code was seen before in the previous rounds, up in the previous rounds of all the hands. all of those of the is when it comes to it's in northern garza and they wouldn't have destroyed homes in giovanni or what you do come on in the cities upon you on the spot. this is kayla from corporation that we sent today that we sent today. is quite different, as we understand clearly that the military room almost as systematically and literately put that for 2nd seems to give

a sign that they are still in charge are still in control. they are april, to conduct the hand over of the east by the captive successfully without any sort of logistically or field challenges. now we can say are so hot, so use all exchanging papers to be signed and they are surrounded by the camera. men of the media information office of the military when or from us as a photo of the ongoing documentation that we have seen since the hours of this morning for every single phase at different direction in terms of the just because for fractions all besides the movement of the vehicle i know the side of the hand over that we how much movement on the i c r c. are the international commit to the workforce? in fact, laura has been playing a very critical role in facilitating the uh, the delivery of post. because when it comes to the product and the prism is a very safe and clear principles for no,

for all the complex and parties and regional media uses and the statement, they said that based on the request of both each varies palestinian. we have seen a quote to facilitate the us one side of the is ready top tips alongside with palestinian prism as we are expecting right now that we are expecting right now. that's the idea is where the captives especially started to come out of the via codes. we can see that the door was open, open to the military when i must fight just all salutes and induce captives. now i can see the 1st chapter is coming out from the uh, the 1st step to that is coming out of the vehicle. he has been coming as i must be transferring civilians. he has been home by faxes that you can see from the ground . and he is getting to be a 100 off the stage has been well dressed and holds in a certificate in his hands,

which could be flight seen previously in a previous releases. and there is where the cup says he is an old man, and he is in the right now standing on the front of the crime, just kind of similar to aarp chanting, celebrating the, uh, the uh, the release of beers. ready, faxes. are they completely, are trying to guarantee that the release of is when it comes to will be smooth? and he is a completely looking at the crowds of people, the whole thing, today's to are completely welsh, that i'm at the top tip right now. as i come to the stage and they are looking very effective on here is the 3rd one said more, the 3 male is really tough. there's, have completely been now a release or from mazda is talk to the, to on the stage on. there are right now surrounding what kind of sending faxes on

soon we're behind that are back to the r c. i see now news factors are something along with this very top thirds on the stage the are as a new thing and great thing, promising young people. i'm inside with the ministry, how much photos there are transferring to the brigade. well, same thing with the military movement and i see and that has been largely seen to start part time spending because they understand that with the release of the is very may hot tips. today, the $180.00 to $3.00 palestinian prisoners will be released from the east very child and will be re united with the family members, including a more than $210.00 to study and so has been large. the change was detained by i the, uh, the uh, this really uh, 1st of my id id. a dispute test is introducing the ministration. that's the sense

of the military bring up about it to speak to the is by the captives he is speaking with is really tough to m a and the front of everyone in the front of the site of the i c r c. he is, he is a speaking head to rate, as he is possibly sending a message to the age ready government about the method that the military wing of how much has been using to treat them. how to monday, cherry and i love them of treatment that they have received during top chip it to you as we can see them well dressed and there are completely lifting and the very good condition. now we can see that a barry aminet tree must man with his microphone in his hand to speaking to the is ready to talk to him, help him. and he is passively fixed. it's exit, changing this conversation, which could be a sign on how, how much a movement has been sharing site, which um,

6 change conversation with this by the judge in the, in the uh, into captivity here. and because of strep, we need to remind audio is that how much usually employees a very talented it's ones like shows on tape when i spoke to people who are really confidential. and i have some sort of comprehensive knowledge in the is very culture that a civil life and the is ready charge was an order to know how to come deal with the study captives us. we can see that there are talking right now both in her program, and they also especially showing messages about how they were lucky to be effectuated and to be released today or from the how mazda is contributes a lot such sorts of, of preparation starts the conversations that have been previous so unfortunately just lost a topic that we will try to reconnect with him as we do,

we'll continue watching these pictures. i just want to just pay them. just get a sense of the sound of the event that's happening. the, as one of these is where the captives is being interviewed. so that's one of the is where he comes to is being interviewed by home, us on stage a. it's a, a, had been on a, i believe, the and also we can see the relatives reactions that in tennessee is as a watch for the 1st time in many, many months. the relatives, the loved ones being released via homeless because 3 of them sat on stage as being paraded in front of hundreds of how to sit in the public who being who, being wasting full for many hours for this release of the 3 male captives. they

look gold, but his heart per se, otherwise working in the in good health. of course food has been a massive issue in gaza for the last 15 months of very little age entering the gaza strip during the course of israel as well. you can see the 3 men, the holding up a certificates. we believe that these of a certificate signed for the release of the red cross. the community of the red cross was just finding those certificates moments earlier. we have 3 red cross calls waiting, just out of show the adjust to the left, waiting to take these 3 men through gaza to the is really for the where we have seen a helicopter a minute 3 helicopter waiting to take them into israel. i'm going to bring in hand because she is in a mon, but she is monitoring events in israel because the is when the government work

lessons report from inside the country. honda, i mean this is an extraordinary moment for the relatives, for the family, for the friends of these 3 men, and indeed all the hostages who a jews to be released from the gulf. and we can see the motion as they watch, and they took up every image that they can get of the release of their loved ones as the interviewed on stage by homeless on fights. as the and central dogs are before, they are allowed to get into the cause into the red cross cause and take them to israel tool cause through what happens then. the best right, these 3 now released is really captives are being interviewed in hebrew by arms fighters of how mouse is military when the assembly gave. but after when you're seeing now they will be handed over to the employees from the international committee of the red cross who were previously on that stage,

signing the release documents. they'll be driven over the israel guards of order where they will be taken to and is really military base that a base in the southern part of the country for an initial medical check and identification verification. and they'll be reunited with immediate family there. and then they will be flown to a hospital by a helicopter, in central israel until a be where they will be reunited with the rest of their loved ones and then stay for an extended period of time depending on their medical and psychological needs. this is an incredibly choreographed system that's been in place, not just since the beginning of the ceasefire deal, but also since november of 2023. when we saw the 1st cease fire deal go into place . this is in coordination with these really military and the health ministry that has set up different hospitals, different wins of hospitals for privacy, for these captives for their families. so they are well equipped to receive these captives in the stages and remember that they are receiving around 3 at

a time until the final week of this deal, where we will see 14 captives released at once. it's still unclear who among the $33.00 to be released in phase one are alive and who are deceased because these are all said that of the list they receive. they understand that 25 or a live and 8 are deceased. then all of the cap is more live will be released 1st. so it is raising some alarms for some family members who haven't had their loved ones released yet. as part of the civilians who are supposed to be free to the 1st part of this deal. but none the less the reactions within israel, at hostage square or something we've seen every we up there waiting with baited breath essentially for the 1st sign. those 1st images of those captives who are being released and waiting to welcome them back into was really territory. and this has become quite a symbolic place for family members of captives for the bring them back now movement and for the greater is really public who has been campaigning for their

release. and also protesting against these really government trying to put pressure on benjamin netanyahu. and the most far right government and israel's history to adhere to this deal but also not just to phase one, but to phase 2 and 3. and if you heard the 1st captive who was speaking upon his release, he had said in hebrew, but he's calling on the government to go through phases 2 and 3 of this deal. and the majority of these really public wants that because they want to see all of the captives were released, captives who had been released previously. and their families said that even though they're filled with joy, their joy is not complete because the rest of those families can't experience what they are currently experiencing. so until all of the families get their captives back until all of those who are being held in gaza return, that's when they say this deal should be completed. kind of the way of saying now just to took the pictures a little bit because events happening quite quickly. now the 3 men have been won't

from the stage flying by these on from us gods. they have been taken to the red cross vehicles. i think they on out inside the vehicles the, the fights of the mos uh, vices are now trying to pump the crowns to allow these red cross costs to carry them in a way. let's just uh pause for a moment on who they are, who is being released in this stage of the data we've got, or levy 34 years old. he was at the supernova, music festival in southern israel when he was taken by from us in the october 7th attacks. we've got alicia, robbie. he's 52. he was taken by books, berry, and also all had been i'm a, he's 56. he was also taken from the composites, but ery, home to that's we were hearing earlier. this is a mix day of emotions for these men,

for the families of these men. because of course, they are delighted to be homeless and liked it to be re united spots. they have lost team members of the families of the right. in fact, 34 year old or his wife was killed anthony over music festival on october. the 7th 2023 and his family is unsure if he is aware of that information. so they are waiting to see what kind of shock he will be. and if he doesn't know, so that's a big worry that they've been speaking about over the last 24 hours. but it's also important to note that now we are on 2 men in this deal. we also saw last week there were men who were released, but the women were all released. the. the female soldiers were released. those who are alive, of course, and now we are on to civilian men before the 2nd stage of the deal. if it takes place, we'll go on to military man, which of course we'll see

a higher number of palestinian prisoners released because of that. but in terms of what they've been through, you have to remember that could boots very was one of the most hardest hit. it's right near the gauze of border, it was one of the most affected areas in southern israel when those attacks had taken place. so it's been nearly $500.00 days that they've been in kept captivity, and their families had been campaigning for their release for the entirety of those days. and they've been trying to put that pressure that we've been talking about on the use really prime minister on his government, a government who many of the members within the far right say that they've been given promises. but nothing yahoo is going to go back to war to assume what they've described as a complete takeover of gaza. but when you see these images here of him, us in full force with many different types of weapons, some of those guns even seized by him, us fighters from is rarely soldiers who are either killed or injured or ambushed in

the fields during the ongoing confrontations between the 2 sides during the war in gaza. so this was something is where i wanted to achieve a complete defeat of having us, which clearly had not happened. that's one of mentioned y'all whose main objectives . and he was reportedly quoted saying, but if there is not a complete defeat of how much he's going to go back to fighting in the 2nd stage of this deal. but i must have shown that they are still very much in control of the gaza strip of politically and militarily, you even had a banner that had the slogan of, mentioned y'all were absolute victory. in hebrew, with a photo of him there to show that they had not achieved this complete victory, that they were talking about that after they had killed nearly 50000 palestinians. but how much is still in control there? and now they're doing this deal where they are releasing captives and exchange for palestinian prisoners who've been detained in his really jail. some of them for a large portion of their life who have these very long sentences. but at the same

time, there's still a lot of fear and anxiety about where this deal is going to go. because family members want to see this deal go all the way through the palestinian people want to see this deal. so all the way through ultimately to a total end of the war and a reconstruction of gaza. but there been a lot of moving parts that are getting in the way here that could potentially the rail, the ceasefire deal as a whole because of benjamin netanyahu. his visit to the united states were president, trump had outlined a completely unconventional and internationally condemned plan of displacing palestinians, forcing them out of this land where the us would take over the gaza strip of this is something that's not being received well by the palestinian people of course, who nearly 2000000 of them called the gone to strip their home. and it's important to remember that some of these palestinians have been displaced from other parts of what is currently israel during 1948 during 1967. so there are so many moving parts

here, but the general school of thought here is that everyone wants to cease fire deal to continue on these really side. they want all of the captives to be released. and on the palestinian side, they want a state they want city, they want the right to their own lives, to rebuild and live their lives in their home that has been completely destroyed by . 1 by is really forces throughout the last 15 months hummed up many things. indeed we are, we looking out of the scenes and they're on via the red cross cause of less they've, they've taken the 3 is really captives away from the same towards israel. and now seeing the crowds just so smooth, made together around and into the streets. it seems that the how much on finances might have the most control of the situation. bad thoughts? the deal is the top twos have been released. that part of the deal has been done. the 5th exchange has been completed here in the student. we have salt and bar cats

and mohammed, dell, missouri, a wait motorcycle, the scenes for us, and will be coming to you in just a moment to talk a little bit more about the why the implications of today and where we are at, in terms of the cease fire and phase $1.00 and $2.00, and $3.00 of it. we have good tire capital, assume back as well. so that's what we're just going to go now to him and targets. want to note to our view is a little earlier when we had all 3 captives on stage. we didn't take what stay was saying during the interviews with how much on the flight is that because we believe that they was speaking under duress. sorry i just want to try one more time to see if you can hear us here in the studio because the way i watching less. yeah. we're watching the scenes of, of the crowd mingling now in the,

in the area where those top tens with just released. and i'm just saying that i want to point out, the whole thing was highly correlated for often perhaps what the captives was saying during the interviews with, from us on it says, was under duress law the uh, the military way, how much money successfully. so hands over 3, i may come to the i see i see just a few moments ago, but due to some communication challenges, we have been cut off by den we can see that they were just over the us now to gather around members in the prices on the exchange is the same with the uh,

one of the uh heights as of how much and hope road. uh, that completely uh, signify the level of treatment that they had a completely seen in the comforts of it. so you use, why do you this was step that has been organized by the military when the wing of how much shows different messages regarding the humanitarian protocols that they have been completely hiring to in comparison with the nothing of a parents that had been widely seen by the usability of military re regarding dave expiration of patients, the treatment will tell us the prisoners who usually get out of captivity completely. tanya is exhausted to trains on suffering from different sites to come and visit come, distress. uh that could be quite nice. and obviously see and now uh they have a completely finalized the release of the hand over of theirs when it comes to salary. so see back codes have made the journey now for out. so had you wrote to

the closest point in which they are going to meet the uh, the, as for the military to have them over the captives to be under go in the mid to come checks and then to be re united with the family members on the ground now civilians gatherings around the fights is to take so many pictures as a sort of appreciation to their efforts that they have been doing over the course of the past 15 months to uh, completely secure the captives um to release of the palestinian prisoners. we are expecting blower today that a 108 to 3 palestinian prisoners will be released and we are about to move to the rookie and hospital in order to change change over developments regarding the release that has been scheduled to take place in the coming few hours spot, there is a very glowing sense of into showing this and i'm just a patient regarding the, the release of the palestinian prism is for those people who can see them on the

front of your eyes and all of us that those have enjoyed long months old, brought mental and plus attacks and a very degrading human election of the treatment by these by the occupation forces during the military encourage and the lot of organized of organizing. i'm the level of discipline shown during today's release of the 5th top shop is fairly common, says has a quite something clear indications that how much is still in charge of its position as the ruling government does as the ruling entity of the gaza strip. and they have not been widely degraded, oh, dismantled as the is really a military officials repeatedly claimed that they have the greatest and how much is military capabilities and they are no longer imposing any sort of a threat to its own dock lead that they have experience to be a security on military blows boss that did not enable israel to enable his relative,

completely dismantled or mandatory existence as they have been able to secure the east. but it kept tips for almost more than 15 months and they are right now hunting, hunting them over to the i, c r c. it's on the very strict on us and the very strict communications and the security protocols that we have seen taking place since the hours of this morning. laura. okay, tag a very busy day for you and they will let you know it gets over to the european hospital level next. see for the next stage of today's events. joining us now here in the details mom demonstrates professor with media studies the institute for graduate studies. you've been with us all morning. great, but you're still with his mom. it's and joining us now is cells and back house as well, professor of public policy. it come, i've been elisa university southern 1st. what was gonna get your thoughts on the events of today and what we've been watching here while it's like the previous release is quite to x or are doing a moment to watch on all sides. but for us,

i think it gives us assurances that at least stage one is heading in the right direction and it will be hopefully completed according to plan if it wasn't for nothing. yeah. who was visit to washington and to see me on the press conference, the tea, and trump departing. i would have said also, phase 2 is more or less the lined up. but not i think it's, it's less likely that the phase 2 will progress as smoothly as phase one and nothing. yeah. who 1st to postpone that i will of his team and he goes into washington. and then we had that announcement made by trump wanted to take over from both sides, that it's now really not for the united states to occupied guys as a good for the policy is or the guys or the ladies. and now he also postponed his return to that, i believe. so he's still working on from back in washington to stay below the

possibility of the next thing, the waste bank. and this is the sort of, i think decision is way to trump to, to make. and then we have king of the arising on tuesday in, in washington. so so the owner of the what is picking up the door to yes and the outcome of those discussions in washington would be very much on the mind of particularly the palestinians of dealing with face to face street. and this is why i think how much is, is doing this, some symbolic, capt presentation. it's not just about to show that they're in control on the ground. it is really communicating with these early public, to show them what they're able to achieve through those negotiations. and hopefully that they can put more pressure on those readings on the americans. now to make sure that face to progresses into phase 3 and within that, of course, phase 2 of the most difficult is going to be for those ratings to withdraw. because now there's some very much in control of the gaza strip, that splitting into 2 sides that control the full goes into northern guys,

come south on their face to they need to withdraw back to the boundaries of guys. i would have 750 meters of the 9067 voters. so that's going to be the main issue is that is going to withdrawal. and then there is a good sign that they will continue to face to face rate. if they don't do this, then everything is up in there because face to mom, it also involves a permanent ceasefire. and that's not what we've been hearing from an s and you know, he doesn't know who government ups now. no, it isn't. and i was, you know, saying up until last week up until, you know, before. busy the that press conference that was pretty optimistic, number one that we get through phase one. and that number 2, it was a real chance that we could, we could get to the end to the end of the war. and because it looked like, at least on the surface, that maybe donald trump wanted to be seen as kind of a peacemaker as somebody who's bringing stability to the middle east. and who's

getting america out of these 4 and complex. right. and he was bragging about, you know, bringing the ceasefire through to the, to the finish line. so now i think there's a very big branch of on as thrown into all of that as, as some ton was saying, i mean, i'm glad to hear this was done as optimistic about phase one. i'm not as optimistic because as i've been saying all morning, i really think that how much does taking all of this in and probably asking itself . i mean, i can't get into their heads. but i, but i imagine that they're asking themselves, you know, what is the incentive for us to continue this cease fire, this phase one of the ceasefire to the end? when number one, we're giving up the bargaining chips that, that we have a number to israel is telling us that it's going to go back to war in a couple of weeks and seek to eliminate us. and number 3, you have donald trump and the is rarely apparently working on an estimate cleansing

plan, right. and trying to operationalize that. so, you know, i think we have to try to think about things, certainly from the is really perspective and what their calculations might be, but also from the palestinian, the, from this perspective, felton but, you know, doing it with what's going on in washington now from us and these, the rest of the world, they need to play to the emotions and to the commitment of the rest of europe in particular. and i think it's in their interest to be seen to own or phase one. and then this is also why they're putting so much emphasis on displaying that. there are communication with i, c, r c under. right. you know, you know, signing or the right paperwork is on. it's a, it's a way to show that they're working in compliance with international new material. and now that they've committed to this, they need to demonstrate to this, of the world that they have that willingness. and also because of them having done that far, they have been compromised in certain areas of intelligence and so on will be very

hard for them. i think to so sort of take a huge turn halfway through this phase without losing credibility and potentially, you know, being much.
