a $200.00 empty places at us about dina. intel are viewed praying that soon they too will be coming higher let's get across the jerusalem and our correspondent funding for char i following the story for us. funny, what more do we know about these 2 americans who've been released by home us? in fact, there is not much know and when it comes to the circumstances as a release of these to you as hostages. but people host to enter was under the tour that use bright yesterday. but really overjoyed by the fact that too is a start to have been released. but then what about the others? at least an estimated 200 more people i believe, to be held captive by homeless militants. and yes, there is little doing also what kind of submitted things over the subrogation militant of come boss made a statement yesterday about them being released for a freight for humanitarian reasons. there's little knowing, in fact, what exactly has come mazda america some a received in return,

or is going to receive a new term for these 2, a 2 citizens from chicago periodically. now, the reason for that is your, your secretary of state blinking inflect made up to yesterday that i know details are going to be released in an effort to make sure that meet people most dividends . but also soldiers that i believe to be among those 200 people are going to be really so not a lot of information. what is clear, have that cuts are played a significant role here, which is not a surprise given the fact that especially since 2014, the 3rd guys award guitar has been transferring billions of dollars to the uh, to, to guys district to homeless minute and supporting them financially, so they offered early on in fact from october 7th through to, to help release these hostages. now with that many questions to out in the open. there is of course, hope among those relative to waiting to new any details from their relatives, from their loved ones that have captives. but it's just really let you know and how

things are going to proceed from here with more of us to just be released. and when does you've mentioned for other families hoping for news of their loved ones. this must offer some kind of sliver of hope. right? as it does at the same time when his doors understand has been a lot of criticism since october 7th, he on the ground in israel, a people are seeing taking the social media committee organizations that the government is not giving them any information basically. so they really felt the feel like they're being left alone with the agony, with this oral and with their desperation. just what is going to happen as a round defensive is looming. so people are really hoping that before that may stop . and at this point, it's really unclear what is going to start with once. once it does how long it's going to take and how big this offensive is going to be. but the worry, some is the cost during that people have here that the chances of releasing will hostages. i going to diminish ones that are offensive stalls. so their hope is that

by releasing these 2 hostages, now these foreign governments and at least thursday countries, i will citizens, i believe, to be abducted. their, their hope is that these foreign governments are going to put somebody, please put some pressure on these really government to delay the ground. defensive o, o, make sure that these are the hostage is also being released. but the here on the ground, it's just really difficult to tell whether it is going to be progress. one has to understand how most militants didn't do this in an effort of goodwill, but clearly they're using the captive as a bargaining chip for them. it's a value that these hostages are with them in the sense that as long as they have the hostages, they can ask for various things, beat for humanitarian aid, the release of the police still in a prison, there's an israel and, and so many things. so the dynamic is very much in the open hosting, so going to continue from here funding. thank you so much for that update. so that is our senior international correspondent for the for char,
