the conroy then crossed into israel to undergo further medical checks and sign and re unite with loved one. b among those freed our mothers and their children as well as elderly women. israel's leader says he's committed to bringing home all of the keys. we have now completed the return of the 1st available hostages. childrens and mothers and other women, each and every one of them is a whole world, which i stressed to you, the families, and to you citizens of israel. we are committed to the return of all of our hostages. this is one of the goal was typical, and we are committed to achieving all of it goes available. in the occupied westbank, a group of 39 palestinian inmates were freed as part of the temporary truce. those

released include only women and miners. in rama la large crowds gathered to welcome them home, more palestinian prisoners and his really hostages are set to be released in the coming days. journalist's army, so whole as interest loan that has more on what's happening with the release sausages not. and we already have a report from the administrative held that the 2 women are now in the works on the hosp, the just outside the collective and the rest will be sent to other 2 hosts. but there's a nip at the i think louder. sure. let's you and they all of the se in the areas next to it and love it. and they're being sent to the hosp with them. and the, because the situation is so bad, but because they are, they will meet the relatives there they, when they meet the psychologist, social workers. and the idea is that they would have a kind of

a soft landing. we're talking about the people, the oldest, $85.00 and the youngest a 4 year old. and that definitely is this is a very emotional. some of them will be learning that their loved ones have been murdered on the 7th of october is so definitely the old, the, the ministries are trying to have it as the, as the relaxed atmosphere as possible for those were landing. on top of that, they would be also interrogated by these riley security forces. sinus i'll call injury slot us president joe biden has welcome the release of the 1st group of hostages. he said he hoped more would be released in the coming days, spied and also said, he hope the card for a cease fire would be extended. we also look to the future. as we look to the future, we have to end the cycle of violence in the memories. we need to renew our resolved

to pursue this 2 state solution. whereas rarely is and probably as soon as can one day live side by side in the 2 state solution. we've equal measure of freedom and david to states for 2 people's. this is more important now the never come osh and lisa's terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than israel has been promised and is living side by side in peace. well, there were no americans among the hostages released by hamas on friday. here's the w stuff and simons on what washington is doing to get them fried. well, a, your point is, is out. he's very helpful to express the hopes of his administration. that's also a 3 americans to women. one little child will be really soon as it seems that uh how most and israel have a 0 in on releasing 1st women and children in total. there's 10 americans to believe to be held hostage by hamas. and of course, the president and his administration expressed their strong wishes and of course

that they are working fevers only every day and on the release of those americans. and then fight inside. he also hopes the ceasefire will be extended before at the own. sorry for days, how much pressure is defined in administration, putting on israel to make that happen? i mean, is he saying definitely that he wants israel to commit to a longer ceasefire? i think the president went as far as saying before this, the rest of the nation short address of the nation today that he's hoping that his role is in his words, doing the right thing and tries to extend a pauses of, of, of, of conflict or fighting to allow more age coming into guys are to allow in negotiations . we've covered with egypt with hamas, of course then through those countries and governments involved in the negotiations to extend a pulse in fighting to get more hostages released. and to get more age to what the

president calls are in this, in post students who are suffering from the rule from us and the from the war how mouse has. and the words of the president brought on the public students and guys and then will to buy back home, how much pressure is by then facing in the us to push israel toward ending this war . and indeed, working towards the 2 state solution that's tricky for the administration and it's a complex and difficult question to answer. of course, the by the ministration is under pressure from all sides, by the way, from a interest groups a. is there any interest groups to say like, do not let up your a support be pressure which helps us to in this war against tomas and of course in the do not light up on the rhetoric against time us of course, and also in the american public there is a big concern about what happens in guys are we all saw, the pictures, everybody,

every american is aware of the pictures and the we broadcast it and all of them, it was a broadcasted off of after destruction and suffering and gaza. and there is big pressure politically speaking, but also on a broader even increasingly broader level in, within the american public to, for the, by the ministration to do everything they can to ease this pain and suffering for the guidance for the palestinians. and at the same time, to support israel and stand by israel in their fight against terrorism and against husband. i'm us, stephan simons in washington. thanks so much as always for all of your updates. as we heard earlier, 39 palestinians have been released. most of those are women with some teenage boys . one of the women released as neurotic here. she spent 8 years in jail for a knife attack on an is rarely bought a policeman when she was 16 years old. she's not being returned to east jerusalem tomorrow, but here's mother hold her tight unable to fight the tiers. it's

been 8 years since her daughter was jailed in a nice rarely prison to the mamma is now home. but the feeling is bitter. sweet. but i'm happy to be out, but at the same time it is very upsetting that the price paid for our release is the blood of the people with god. mara was only 16 when she was jailed on nice and assault charges per month, or it has been waiting ever since for this day. i. and after that she was shot 14 times and that she needed me. it was very painful, not having her here. do you similar joy to that of the but your family was felt in the occupied westbank as dozens of release prisoners were reunited with their families. palestinian prisoners were paraded in front of you for

a supporters let me know. so we'd be on with god willing, all the prisoners will be released before they release snouts of white smoke filled the air as is when you go through these prior to your gas to disperse the crowds. according to the palestinian red crescent, several people were wounded. a total of a $150.00 pounds of stadium prisoners are expected to be freed in line with a deal maybe more if the truth is extended from us has also released 10 tie hostages that were taken during now until the 7th attacks. this took place as a separate deal for the caps is were released at the same time as the as really hostages. bangkok had been engaging for weeks in his own diplomatic talks to free it's nationals held by him. a journalist,

philip shotwell has more from bangkok on the reaction to ty, hostages being freed the the sort of lucas are overwhelmingly from small rolling villages, that market workers who travel to israel, a lot of work on, on phones in agriculture like surprises. and a lot of the families have still not heard confirmation whether that loved ones are amongst those released. yes, they've been scouring um tv footage, which from some of this and show them the handover of hostages and some, some of these are celebrations. i believe they've, but they've seen that or of they've seen their relatives that being released and for others, you know, the little white continues, but so they have felt rather lots of adults and victims. with this more or less of the time, i've spoken to families in since october the 7th. and they have just hopes that the, along with all the hosts usually go stations they, they wouldn't. so it'd be like that. so there's definitely, there's definitely relief. there's definitely some celebration, so those families have identified their, their relatives, but the others the, the white continues. and what else do we know about the ongoing negotiations and

also the remaining tile switches to well we, we believe there are at least 14 other times taken hostage. the time government has put the total number of times i've talked to that day at $26.00. so i should know that $39.00 size were also killed when the um, how much the truck goes, came across the board of that. and um, it took me 100 total enterprises where they were working now. so those 14 that size, um, if i from $26.00, i should say the times hoping to go sightseeing their own truck um the farm, but it's the one to turn in egypt. but also time on, although it's been totally booked, is tons of smaller muslim community and representatives of the community. how visited sat around on the writing and for him. and his deputy foreign minister was recently in bangkok on the that'd been trying to use. um, it runs connections, well them connections to come off to negotiate a separate truck. so there is hope that's the hostages will be released in the coming days. yeah, let's, let's hope for that for sure. and what about going forward?

what those veiled, sober 7, who wants to talk on israel mean for ties who still work in israel or might have been considering going to work in his room with the other some of the talks that was 30000 time i could work as it is right away with the law law just for him like going in the agricultural sector and a very important part to be is riley workforce. and the due date, at least a 1000 of them was chosen to return home. that's 22000 all remaining. and these rel, mainly away from the gaza strip, but they are running much by some money than they would in thailand. and they are really quite keen to say, so there's a, there's a person from 5 to that. it's not, government has been encouraging people to return until um, until they believe the situation is safe. but a lot of times hope the academic pressures, they borrowed money, their families are expecting these a returns and they all tend to say so. um yeah, more than 20000 times aust, feeling is around well let's hope that the rest of the ty hostages minus get ad gaza as soon as possible. a journalist phillip shotwell from bangkok,
