you spoke with my friend hagai levine, we do care about the mental well being of the hostages. the moment the hostages cross the border, they get thrust in a soft envelope of mental support. this is not what neither hamas nor the egyptian exposed them during the transition from the, you know, from the -- where they were held through the egyptian border, so they were exposed suddenly to light. suddenly to camera, suddenly with a tremendous mode of people whom they don't know. each part of this complex deal is dependent on so many different interests of different stake holders. this is why fragile is the most relevant way to describe it. it requires a lot of goodwill, not necessarily trust, but a lot of luck that things will not fall apart. >> a lot of luck that things will not fall apart. moti, you described all of the parties that have been working on this for weeks, right? they started this process potentially as soon as the day after or the week after the horrific massacre. what is the role of each country from your point of view? what is the role of the qataris? what is the

i want to bring in professor hagai levine, the head of the medical team for the hostages and missing families forum, which was formed by families after the hamas kidnappings. thank you for being with us, professor. let me get reaction to the news over the last couple of hours that the cease fire has indeed been extended by a few days. >> of course the families that i'm escorting as a physician and a head of the medical team, they are very emotional. they are on an emotional roller coaster, and of course it's good news. we hope as many as possible hostages will be released soon, and yes, it's good that it's continuing. at the same time, we are extremely worried about those that are not released yet. >> let's talk about those who have been. it has been incredibly moving and emotional, even from afar. watching videos of freed hostages. we saw a photo of abigail, and her grandparents. . we also saw a mother with her girls, 8-year-old ella, and they were held with the rest of them for 15 days. yoni asher with his two little girls who say they dreamed at night of coming home. remarkable to

earlier today, i spoke with professor hagai levine, the head of the medical and resilience team for theges and missing families forum, as he is part of the team meeting with hostages who are free. professor, let me begin by asking you, how are they doing? >> we know for some of the hostages that were released today, two women already arrived here. some of them spoke with the families and i know from one of the families that their grandmother sounds well over the phone. and we have seen some pictures of them walking, which is encouraging. however, the recovery process is going to be long. they will be needing not only mental and physical support, but also to be examined to rule out any specific medical problems. for some of them, i know their medical profile. i know they have severe chronic illnesses that probably were not properly treated. so, they still need to be examined, and over 200 innocent people still being held by hamas, and they are not receiving the proper medical care and psychological care for recovery. tonight, we really hope that this week all of them will be either relea

i've been speaking to professor hagai levine, head of the medical team at the hostages and missing families help and medical attention those hostages will need when they are hopefully released. it is uncharted water. you know, they are children of ten months old, or a child who is three years old who saw both her parents murdered. how do you start the recovery process for her? it is very, very complex. and imagine just the complexity that, from the hamas maybe to somebody else in hamas and then the red cross, and then to the physicians of the idf, then to the hospitals and then to the community... such a complex process with just to get back to being human. because they didn't have any control, these innocent people, when they were abducted and there were in captivity, so now just think about the food. and obviously you need prioritisation. some may have severe medical problems that need to be cured first. some of them had chronic diseases that were not treated properly or injuries that weren't treated properly. so you need to look and see. we set the principles to be professional, to be pa
