hamas is in the west bank, hamas is in the prisons hamas actually is wherever there are palestinians specifically in you, jordan and lebanon and syria and the gulf as there are other palestinian political trends you know, fatah still has the popular front for, the liberation of palestine has supporters. but if you're talking about the situation in gaza or the west bank today, they have joint operations, movements, sorry, joint operations rooms between the activist members of all of these organizations. so the situation is much more complex than what, you know, if if we're like a some ill informed senator up here and say, you know well, just got to support israel as. they as they demolish and destroy hamas in gaza you know that is just a recipe for the continuation. what i i think having studied a lot of genocides around the world that is a genocide and you know the way to end this through getting an iron clad lasting ceasefire. thank you. so rami, i'm going to turn to you. you know, the other word you mentioned besides humiliation was resistance. and a word that's come up a lot in, t

they want us to go, oh, look, we're strong hamas. we control hamas. and what we did, hamas was against israeli soldiers. they took four women. five, as i said in pjs, aside from the 16 other women that they murdered on that day on the base. and i'm just talking about that. so in that change of what they're doing is they're trying to control the visual moment. and kim, that means a lot. we're talking on tv afterwards. they're going to be clips. everybody's going to show the clip of the four women on uniform, and i want them to show the clip of the five women on that day, as i said, in pjs. and they're not giving back the civilians. it makes me wonder what happened to the civilians. are they alive? are they dead? they want to control that moment, and they're going to try and continue to do so as it goes on. and it's part of our own resilience in israel that we need to stay strong, because we need to get them back. and we're paying a very heavy price. the price that we're paying in as far as the the tried and sentenced terrorists that are in jail, that a

obviously, hamas was taking 0bviously, hamas was taking advantage of the day.rds, hamas is trying to say that everyone is talking about, but we are here, we have seen today the military men in uniform, they look good. they were doing a lot of messaging, the first message was being sent to the israelis themselves, that the government argument that hamas was on the brink of defeat is totally baseless, given the variety and number of people showing up for the handover of the captives. so this is a very important message because they want the israeli public to realise that hamas if it is impossible and the only way forward is by putting out of pressure on the israeli government to continue the ceasefire. but israeli government to continue the ceasefire.— the ceasefire. but how successfully _ the ceasefire. but how successfully do - the ceasefire. but how successfully do think l the ceasefire. but how - successfully do think hamas and katina ceasefire on their part of course, we have this obstacle policy and is awaiting to be able to return all but the israeli gover

when hamas when hamas attacked on october 7th. in exchange, israel expected to release 200 palestinian prisoners. let's go now to cnn's paula hancocks, who joins us live from abu dhabi with more on what we know. again, essentially, the stage is set quite literally here with a very significant hamas fighter presence in gaza city. do we have any idea when we may see those four young ladies? >> well, paula, we don't have any indication of of timings at this point. we know that this is palestine square in gaza city, where you can see hamas fighters have convened and this is expected to be the area where the handover will take place. you can also see palestinian islamic jihad flags among the crowds as well. the fighters are armed, they are masked. and it is in many ways a show of force, a show of strength from hamas itself. and these pictures will also be watched very closely by those in israel. there are four israeli women, as you say, that are expected to be handed back to their families today. this is the the second hostage release

hamas. we don't know what instructions they've given to those prisoners that are being perhaps forced to speak, but right now you can see their jubilation as they give high fives, as they give thumbs up, smiling clearly ecstatic to finally be moments away from release. but again, this is a we want to emphasize the the positivity of their release without necessarily, uh, you know, giving too much credence, i guess, to the the propaganda message that is, is clearly being sent here by hamas as they're paraded in front of the world. but we saw there a very happy moment, at least while they were being, uh, you know, giving high fives and being photographed as they were released. now we see them being escorted to those red cross vehicles. paula, uh, take me through what you are seeing here and the significance of this as we see them getting finally into those vehicles and what happens to them right now? >> well, one point to mention, kim, is the fact that they were all in army uniforms. this was c

i think it is a win for hamas? i think it is a win for hamas especially _ hamas?n for hamas especially here in - hamas? i think it is a win for hamas especially here in the west bank. basically, you cannot understate how big an issue prisoners is for palestinians here. almost every family will have a relative who at some time has been detained in israeli prison. there are thousands of palestinian presence, thousands who have been detained in the past 15 months of the war started on october seven, 2023. 1000 or 0ctober seven, 2023. 1000 or more who have been detained from gaza. so those images today of those prisoners being held aloft on people's shoulders, that is a win for hamas because it enables them to say, look, we are getting these prisoners out, we are the only legitimate resistance, as they would call it, to israel's military occupation and by comparison, their political rivals in the west bank, fatah, who have historically been more popular, they are seen as basically pretty ineffective, they failed to improve people's lives economically, they failed to a

, topple hamas.ppened. hamas has been beaten resoundingly militarily. but as you can see in the footage of the hostage release, they're they're still there. they may be, uh, down, but they are not out. and and mr. netanyahu refused consistently to engage the u.s. this is the previous administration, the biden administration, in any kind of talks and negotiations on a postwar gaza framework. so right now, even if this works, even if this works, isabelle, we're looking at a complete political vacuum that israel will then say, well, look, hamas is taking over. of course, hamas is taking over because because israel did nothing to substitute hamas. well, of course they're armed because you didn't occupy the entire gaza strip. not that i'm saying not that i'm saying that that was a good idea. but i'm saying in terms of promising and pledging a total victory, that hasn't happened. so netanyahu wants to avoid all this, not to mention his political problems and the fact that he not once took responsibility fo

hamas and islamic jihad are clearly making a show out of this release. of these three, i excuse me, four women who are currently now in the hands of the red cross. we've been watching this live. thousands of people gathered in palestine square in gaza city. this is an area where israeli forces operated for months, and now hamas is organized. they have fighters there wearing green headbands. we're looking at these images here of the red cross vehicles leaving the square after briefly, we saw these four israeli hostages, four former israeli soldiers who were taken on october 7th. they are waving and smiling again. they have been forced to do this by hamas, but an indication they are indeed alive and they are in good enough health to be able to walk. we see a split screen and many of the channels that are covering this. people gathered in hostage square here in tel aviv to celebrate the release of these four israeli soldiers. and then that other side inside gaza, where the red cross vehicles are leaving the square. again, this is a moment of relief for the

by dozens of armed hamas fighters.nce back in israel, the women were reunited with their loved ones. the soldiers were captured in the october 7th attack 15 months ago. they were seized from an army base on the border with gaza. israel has accused hamas of breaching the terms of the ceasefire because female civilian hostage arbel yehud was not included in saturday's release — and has delayed the planned return of displaced palestinians to northern gaza. now on bbc news, newscast. laura, you've been mixing with a beatle. yeah, not like a, like an earwig or something. yeah, a real beatle, an actual beatle. like a living legend beatle, a musician beatle, yes. much to my surprise, if you'd said to me last weekend, "what are you doing this week?", i would not have said, well, "i'm going to "end up interviewing sir paul mccartney." but yes, we ended up interviewing sir paul mccartney, which was, yeah, even for a crusty old sceptical hack, it was incredibly exciting, and i felt incredibly lucky to meet him. yeah. surreal. tha

but hamas says that thatis hostage. but hamas says that that is due to happen next week.actly was the ceasefire deal asking? and we get the answer here? certainly there are lots _ get the answer here? certainly there are lots of _ get the answer here? certainly there are lots of stipulations . there are lots of stipulations as part of the ceasefire deal which we know was months in the making. there are a lot of hurdles to overcome and eventually they got there. the ceasefire deal is holding a bait it is very fragile. the whole idea is that civilians are released before soldiers and that women are released before men. as part of this here in israel over the last week so there has been speculation that they would be a civilian released in this latest exchange. what happened last night is that hamas give the forenames of the women and their soldiers from the same unit. so at the israeli government has been saying todayis government has been saying today is that yes, they allowed this to go ahead today but actually hamas had not been keeping the side of the bargain and as a c

how much of a political win is this for hamas? in the west bank. you know, basically, you cannot understate how big an issue prisoners is for palestinians here. almost every family will have a relative who at some time has been detained in an israeli prison. there are thousands of palestinian prisoners. that have been detained in the past 15 months since the war started on october seventh 2023. 1,000 or so more who've been detained from gaza. so those images today, of those prisoners being held aloft on people's shoulders, that is a win for hamas because it enables them to say, "look, we're getting these prisoners out. "we're the only legitimate resistance," as they would call it, "to israel's military occupation." and by comparison, their political rivals in the west bank, fatah, who historically have been much more popular, well, they are seen as basically pretty ineffective. they've failed to improve people's lives economically. they've failed to end the occupation. and when you look at polling, since the war started in gaza, h

but hamas has lost a great deal. iran is weakened by israel's strikes against retaliatory strikes against iran, which were the iran strikes were not successful. with the help of the u.s. military, jordanian and other militaries in the region, and iran has lost a lot of military power and key air defenses. the collapse of the syrian regime, the transformation of the middle east in these past months by the israeli military, israeli intelligence targeted assassinations for all. the criticism has weakened hamas, for despite the show of force that you've seen in these hostage releases, where the fighters are coming out of the woodwork, coming out of the tunnels, hamas is regrouping. that's another big fear. but so far the deal has held, and 183 palestinians released. now, as we're told here, i'm told by my colleagues, by your colleagues over there that that part of the deal has held as well today. >> and we. >> know that the. >> next several phases of the deal. >> still incredibly fragile. >> and that comes. >> as. you ha

hamas itself is quite extreme. hamas is disputed how much islamic jihad is under its control. just that there was proof of life of that hostage that was probably intended to reassure the israeli side and to allow the israeli side and to allow the next phase is to go forward. hopefully she will be released very soon. that is also important for the step—by—step for the palestinians who need to get back to northern gaza to be able to do so.— back to northern gaza to be able to do so. there have been members _ able to do so. there have been members of — able to do so. there have been members of the _ able to do so. there have been members of the israeli - members of the israeli far right, this deal hasn't been popular with them from the very beginning. as we see more and more these palestinian detainees being released the criticism here, as it progresses into the next stages, which i could be even more difficult to implement. first let's be clear, the two extreme right extremist members of prime minister netanyahu is coalition have not been supportive. they were willing to give up

hamas committed widespread torture on the day.ons and human rights bodies — 20,000 palestinians were killed between 2000 and 2023. mm. is a response to a suffocating sieae. .. , , ., and occupation for 76 years. dr naim, i'm asking you, though, hamas is not responsible for that. because if you are suffocating me, i am defending myself. to resort to these tools. that day was not about defence. ..among the dead were a0 children. international law is the reference have the right to use armed tools... so it was acceptable to kill children? ..in order to defend themselves... to take babies hostage? no, it is not acceptable — again, we are a people under occupation. no—one is talking about them. international mainstream media, are keeping silent professor dr salman al—dayah, at the hamas—affiliated islamic university, for what he called violating islamic principles and he said hamas had failed in its obligations iam not... i am not aware about your conversation but, again, i can accept that someone here or there might criticise any beha

hamas is a dutj groups later this week but

this was absolutely hamas propaganda.so behaved abominably, to be honest with you. israelis were... why? because israelis were told and were warned that these women were in a very fragile state, that there would be no access to them before they got into closed hospital rooms, that they wouldn't even be able to see their families. there was all kinds of caution put out there, and at the end, the israeli government, what is called the government press office cameras, which is... the government press office is a branch of the israeli prime minister's office. they were waiting for these women literally behind the hospital doors. ifound this to be prurient and verging on the obscene. so these women, these young women, even if they were asked for their permission, were in no position to give it. so imagine the situation with these families, the tension, you know, lack of clarity in their situation. i don't know, i have no evidence to suggest that they did or did not give permission, but even if they were asked to give permissio

i have not seen too many hamas flags here today. hamas is more popular in the west bank than it is in gaza where it has lost popularity. they feel that the palestinian authority is doing nothing for them. the worry for the moderates is that this war has boosted hamas's prestige in the west bank and there are real fears that there could be our war in the west bank. we have already seen the most deadly 15 months in terms of violence in the west bank in decades. we have seen extensive military operations just this past week injenin, 13 palestinians killed there. there is really no sense of optimism. there is really no sense of optimism-— there is really no sense of o timism. , ,., ., ,, optimism. there is some talk that israel— optimism. there is some talk that israel is _ optimism. there is some talk that israel is going _ optimism. there is some talk that israel is going to - optimism. there is some talk that israel is going to focus . that israel is going to focus its security efforts and its forces in the west bank rather than gas.

when hamas attacked on october 7th.in exchange, israel is expected to release 200 palestinian prisoners. again, we're watching a very fluid situation right now on the ground in the middle east, as is cnn's paula hancocks, who joins us live from abu dhabi with what we know right now as we see these live pictures out of gaza city. paula. yes, paula. so this. >> certainly shows that. >> there is activity. this is in the in. >> the. >> palestine square. >> of gaza city. and what we are seeing is potentially dozens, maybe more of hamas fighters that have gathered in this particular area. you can see them that they are masked, they are armed as well, many of them holding the hamas flag. and it appears as though they are preparing for this hostage release. now, this is just happened in the last few minutes or so. they are in this particular square. you can see the white cars there, the white trucks, they are believed to be hamas cars are some of them have the flag on as well. and certainly it appears as though this is the prep

four female israeli soldiers were released by hamas. this has been the second exchange under the gaza ceasefire deal. the four hostages have reunited with their families. the women had been seized from an army base on the border with gaza when hamas attacked 15 months ago. and nick live in tel aviv at the place they call hostage square where our day they have been watching and absorbing everything that has been happening. —— all day. hello, i'm luxmy gopal. four female israeli soldiers freed by hamas have beeen reunited with their parents at a reception point in southern israel. they were taken by helicopter to a hospital and are now undergoing medical assessment. in exchange, israel has freed around 200 palestinian prisoners. two buses carrying detainees departed from two israel prisons. reports from egypt say 70 palestinian prisoners have now arrived in egypt from where they'll travel on to neighbouring countries. meanwhile hamas has told mediators that a female israeli civilian, arbel yehud, held hostage in the gaza strip, will be re

what's happening is hamas is getting it. giving it to their fighters first, and then they're using it to recruit young people and saying, hey, look, you want food for your family, come join hamas. commit to us a year or two years of service. and so, you know, it's not just, oh, they're you know, the palestinian people in gaza are affiliated with hamas because they want to they're it's essentially a mafia controlling, a terrorist mafia controlling, you know, 2 million people. and so the israelis are aware of this. and so but it's very hard to figure out how do you get the aid into the hands of the people that need it, while at the same time not empowering the very terrorist group that's conducting these attacks? they're then taking those things, selling them to people within gaza or trading them, and then eventually trying to get weapons smuggled in. you know, when we were at the at the kerem shalom border crossing a month and a half ago, you see all the contraband being smuggled in. a lot of it, interestingly enough, is ciga

wejust have the will be released by hamas. we just received have the will be released by hamas. last half hour or so from the last half hour or so from the qatari foreign ministry who had been mediating the talks between israel and hamas, that hamas would hand over arbel yehud and according to the qatari foreign ministry, they will allow displaced palestinians to return to northern mum —— northern gaza beginning monday morning and thatis beginning monday morning and that is a confirmation from the israeli prime minister the arbel yehud will be released alongside a soldier, and another hostage. the prime minister's office says sir keir starmer has spoken on the phone with president trump. they discussed the importance of working together for security in the middle east, as well as issues related to trade and the economy. the two leaders have agreed to meet soon. here in the uk, a 19—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a vehicle was driven at a police officer in greater manchester. it happened at a retail park on wilmslow road in cheadle, on satur

this comes after a horrific experience, being held by hamas since october 7.ey were taken from, 54 israeli soldiers killed during the hamas attack at that base. we look forward here, we expect the number of updates today as it relates to the broader ceasefire agreement and prime minister office says one israeli civilian that was supposed to be release this week was not. the israelis are keeping up their end of the bargain for this week and they'll be releasing the agreed upon palestinian prisoners, but for the next release, we expect a lot of back and forth likely mediators involved in this conversation due to the fact that israelis say hamas is not living up to their end of the bargain, guys. charlie: trey, tell us about the 180 pal state queens stun indian prisoners that be -- palestinian prisoners released in exchange? reporter: yeah, nearly 180 palestinian prisoners released in exchange for the four israeli hostages. 70-90 of them will be deported and released at the across the streeting that sits close to egyptian border. hundreds of them are serving life

why are they saying that hamas have breached the deal?all boils down to the fate of one particular civilian hostage, arbel yahud. she is 29 years old. it was widely expected and reported in the israeli media over the past week that she would be released yesterday. but on friday night, when hamas gave the list of the four women to be released, she wasn't on it. and in fact, they were four soldiers. so israel says that hamas has basically undermined the deal, which says, in essence, that civilians should be released before soldiers. so what's happened is israel says that as a result, they are stopping all those palestinian families in the south of gaza, moving to the north. they were getting ready to to make that move with all the possessions they still have. so what has happened now is that hamas have said, "well, actually, she'll be released next weekend." and hamas and islamichhad, another militant group, have apparently provided proof of life for this civilian. and so it would seem now we're waiting too for the israelis to say whether o

hamas will declare victory.xtremely difficult for an israeli society which has been battling hamas after the assaults of it over seven. very difficult. yes, on track. we are delighted that the hostages will be coming home. one of the families i know personally, a wonderful family, peace activists. it's very meaningful but that joy will be tempered by fears and in certain segments of the population resentment. carl: those are the scenes that everyone is hoping to see more of in the coming weeks. we heard the president speaking in the oval office during one of these impromptu media sessions did not really have a strong answer when he was asked about the cease-fire deal and the steps you were mentioning. how confident are you that this trump administration will forcefully ensure that the cease-fire does remain in effect into the later stages? michael: i think it will. it will try. not everything is in the hands of the trump administration. hamas has violated every cease-fire ever reached between the organization an

-- by hamas. over the past several months i have provided examples, some stretching back decades of unrwa 's complicity and its employee'' participation in terror. allow me to remind you of a few. unrwa is supposed to play a critical role in the education of palestinians. it has certainly played a role, but only a toxic one. in both 2017 and 2021, israel discovered hamas terror tunnels running directly under two unrwa schools in gaza. in 2023, when we entered gaza, we found out that those tunnels remained operational, despite the letters and the requests years prior to that. the principals of these schools were confirmed hamas operatives. again, this is far from an isolated example. just last year, israel provided over 100 names of unrwa employees were verified members of hamas. unfortunately and addictively, these claims -- and predictably, these claims were dismissed without investigation. perhaps most shockingly, on october 7, an unrwa employee kidnapped an israeli civilian. this terrorist retu

headlines: israel has released 200 palestinian prisoners in return for four female soldiers held by hamas in the second exchange of the gaza ceasefire deal. the four israeli soldiers released were first led onto a podium in gaza city surrounded by dozens of armed hamas men. once back in israel, the women were reunited with their loved ones. the soldiers were captured in the october 7th attack 15 months ago. they were seized from an army base on the border with gaza. in wadi in gaza, palestinians are queuing to return to their homes, but this isn't guaranteed after hamas failed to release a civilian hostage today. more than a day after what the uk met office called the strongest storm in ten years beat a destructive path through ireland and parts of the uk, the scottish government is telling people if they need to travel, they must take great care. the storm brought winds of more than ioomph to scotland and the island of ireland on friday. at its peak, more thani million people were without power, and hundreds of incidents of damage were reported on the railways. at least one person was ki

we're waiting for hamas to release an israeli american man. he has been held hostage since the october 7th attacks. we're looking at live pictures right now of what's taking place in gaza city. we see the red cross there. they're expected to take signal from hamas and take him to israeli officials now. 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
