will then see a signing ceremony between hamas and the red cross, a way of kind of legitimizing hamas's authority in gaza, a way for them to show gazans, to show israelis, but also to show the world that they are still in charge in gaza. something, of course, that the israeli government has made a goal in this war to eliminate hamas, to remove it from power in gaza. and this is a way of hamas for hamas to show that that is not the case, at least not yet. but right now, a very emotional scene in hostage square, as i'm watching people, you know, tears in their eyes, grasping their faces, a moment of relief. but also, again, a moment of horror as they see that hamas, the group that perpetrated that terrible massacre on october 7th, the fact that they are still in charge, that they are still showing these shows of strength after more than 15 months of war. >> so, jeremy, as we see those two prisoners, or levy and ohad ben ami, standing on the stage there with those hamas fighters and jeremy, we've seen varying degrees of of chaos or order with these handovers here. it seems pretty orderly,

those images that you can see live of red cross vehicles there. hamas having cordoned off an area where there is a crowd of hundreds of gazans who are watching this scene as a scene very similar to the ones that we have seen play out over the last few weeks. this is the first time, however, that these hostages are being released in central gaza. we have seen releases in the northern part of the strip before in southern gaza as well. but this is the first time that we are seeing one in central gaza, and that is likely an indication of where these hostages have been held until this moment. we are still awaiting for the vehicles. the hamas unit vehicles carrying those hostages to actually arrive at that square. but the fact that the red cross vehicles are there, that the stage has been set, indicates that that could happen now, at any moment. a reminder on the three hostages we expect to be released today. you have ohad ben ami, who was taken from kibbutz ari. you have or levy, a 34 year old father of a three year old boy who was taken from the nova music

this is the scene right now in nuseirat camp gaza, where hamas is set to release a group of israeli hostages. the red cross will take them from hamas and deliver them to the israeli military. in return, israel is expected to release more than 600 palestinian prisoners. two hostages released earlier are now at a military base in southern israel, of course. stay with us for the latest on this breaking news. doctors treating pope francis say his condition isn't immediately life threatening while his treatment takes effect. but they did add that he is not out of danger overall. cnn's barbie doll is live in rome. barbie, you and i spoke yesterday. you gave us an update on his condition. anything change overnight? >> well. >> you know, we got the usual vatican. >> press release this. >> morning, and they said that the pope rested overnight. we didn't get the detail about his breakfast, whether or not he ate it or how he ate it. but we did hear from the vatican spokesperson that he will not be delivering his sunday angelus tomorrow. it will be just like last week. this is, of course, his second sunday in the hosp

cross. you have a member of hamas. is the person on stage with the red cross signing the documents, which officially appear to be the declaration that these hostages will be released. and they're very clear in the message that they are sending. we also see in these pictures some of the weapons they are holding are israeli weapons, clearly having been taken in the either in the heat of battle or they have been left behind, but they are showing that that that there is one power that is in control in gaza at this point. these are not the they're not the images that the israeli government will want to be seeing. we have heard repeatedly from the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, that hamas has to be completely destroyed. that is his stated war goal. and it has been really since, since day one, every time there is a hostage release, it is very clear that that that stated goal has not been accomplished. now, of course, we have to preface this with we are just seeing one small pocket of gaza. we're seeing one small p

the hostages were handed over to the red cross in gaza. hamas fighters paraded the hostages in front of a large crowd and interviewed them on stage before they were released. that has not happened during previous exchanges. the hostages were taken to a hospital in israel. doctors say they were malnourished and lost a significant amount of weight duringng theirime in captivity. they will be reunited with their families after medical assessments. back here at home, california governor newsom is setting aside $50 million to help defend immigrants and oppose mass deportation orders. newsom signed two laws yesterday. one allocates $25 million for the state department of justice to fight legal battles against the federal government. the other earmarked $25 million for legal groups defending immigrants facing deportation. newsom has a long history of pushing back against the trump administration. during trump's first term, the two sparred over climate laws, water policy, immigrant rights and more. and look, so far, the second term will be heading down

a short time ago, hamas handed two other hostages to the red cross. israel says calderon and the other released hostage, yarden bibas, are now back in israel. so as we look at these live pictures of what we're expecting momentarily to be the release of keith siegel. i want to go now to cnn correspondent jomana karadsheh, who's watching from amman, jordan. again, the contrast with this scene that we're seeing right now compared to what we saw thursday, is absolutely striking. take us through what you're seeing. >> well, as you mentioned there, kim, what we're seeing now appears to be a preparations for the imminent handover of american israeli hostage keith siegel to the red cross. we have seen the icrc representatives and vehicles arrive at the gaza port, where hamas militants had set up the stage there for the handover. we have been watching these pictures coming out of gaza for the past couple of hours, where those preparations were underway, and now it seems that we are expecting to see the handover happen. any moment now. and as you mentioned, as

israel controls electricity and fuel, that will get cut off because hamas crossed legal border and israel has no responsibility to keep that power and water going. three, we're talking about immediate deportation of all gazans followed by immediate military operations from the air, from the ground, special operations. there will be no biden to hold them back and israel will go into every tunnel and every structure and clear out terrorists and then we're talking about potential resetelment of jewish settlements in gaza. it is going to be aggressive. >> trace: trump said this about hostages released over the weekend that he woo saw come out. it was a troubling scene to watch. he said this. >> president trump: i watched the hostages come back today and they looked like holocaust survivors, they were in horrible cond conditions, they were eshg maceiated. it looked like the holocaust survivors and i don't know how much longer we can take that. >> trace: it is unacceptable and seems like hamas is trying to stop repeat of that same scenario. >> yeah, it seems clear they released hostages in the

cross vehicles lined up and waiting. typically that does indicate that the handover will be happening soon, but it goes off in a very formalized, propagandized way by hamasnatures by the red cross. the men taken to the stage, sometimes, as we saw with tal shoham today, forced to give speeches before they're actually handed over. so this is the formula we're expecting here. but those being released in the coming hours will get the same thing. they will get in the red cross vehicles, and that will formalize formalize that moment that ends their captivity. they really turn into free men. i guess you can say when a few minutes later, they get driven out of gaza by the red cross and handed over to the idf, and that's really when they can be free and begin that process of connecting with their loved ones. rebecoming themselves, getting back to their lives and going through that hellish process of trying to. struggle, recover, be helped through the process of unwinding and unraveling through those nightmarish days and nights in the tunnels and in captivity. all the other hostages that have come out and talked about the uncertainty, the shortages of food. and th
