we've also seen a stage erected in palestine square around this hamas. uh, demonstration, this setup that they have erected there. so that raises questions about who will be speaking, whether that will be a member of hamas, whether it will be a hostage speaking very much under duress, obviously, in their final moments of captivity. that remains to be seen. but there is what is clear is that hamas, just like last week, is going to take advantage of this moment in which it is in the spotlight, take advantage of this opportunity to be able to make its propaganda statements known, whether that is showing that it is still standing, showing that it is still in force, or perhaps trying to deliver a message from the hostages, trying to dispel notions about the mistreatment of these hostages. over the course of the last 15 months, we have seen, of course, that they have an eye for this, these kinds of propaganda moments, of course, including last week when we saw that they gave these hostages what appeared to be kind of gift bags, um, as as though they were, you

they live in palestine square, they went to autumn rashid, a street where the displays, palestinians were well, big, making their ways from southern parts of the trip into northern parts. right now we have not yet seen any people on the display. yeah. the people coming in from the south the on until this moment we are waiting this moment the realtor of the display that was seen as it's from the south in the after the extra change happened today at the pound sign is square and also talk us through now of the expectation for and is really withdrew from net settings. are we talking? are we expecting of fullest variety with pro, from that. subbing today today. uh we have spoken to, i wouldnt me to uh these what you deposited with a group from is the specific part of that $34.00. they withdrew from ottawa. she did see that that is that is separate. the southern falls from the northern part. okay. um here, here's the thing. i to define mr. an attorney out and your mr. trump. and i tell you the follow mister president, but you have to understand if the ceasefire fails, if they lie to us, if

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 israeli people who have been waiting for these women to come home. they have been held for the past more than 15 months by hamas inside gaza, and they will be released for an estimated 20

gunmen and crowds gathered in palestine square in gaza city as the hostages were released to the redross in a highly choreographed handover. the soldiers had been held since being abducted from an israeli border base at the start of the october the seventh attacks in 2023. a short time later, israel released these pictures showing them being received back by the military. they are now undergoing medical assessment. in exchange, israel has freed around 200 palestinian prisoners. hamas has told mediators that a female israeli civilian, arbel yehud, held hostage in the gaza strip, will be released next week. israel has said she should have been freed today. it's cast some doubt on another of stage of the ceasefire. the israeli prime minister's office says that palestinian civilians won't be permitted to return to northern gaza until she is released. but the release of up to 200 palestinian prisoners went ahead as planned. two buses carrying detainees departed from two israel prisons. and in the last hour, reports from egypt say 70 palestinian prisoners have now arrived in egypt from whe

hamas militants handing over the hostages to israel on a stage in gaza city's palestine square, their families watching, shouting for joy, seeing their children alive and safe. seven hostages in total have been set free since the start of the ceasefire hostage deal last sunday morning here. locally, a total of 33 israeli hostages are expected to be released over the next several weeks during the first phase of the deal, according to the terms of the deal, 30 palestinians will be released for each israeli civilian hostage and 50 palestinians for each israeli soldier. back here in california, governor gavin newsom yesterday greeting president donald trump in the southern california wildfire zone. the president and first lady toured the destruction firsthand and promising federal help. the once political rivals have promised to work with each other to help speed up the recovery of that devastated region. today in the bay thom jensen reports. the president's trip to los angeles wrapped up like it started. we're on the same team. we want to get it fixed. so we had a very good talk with the

what we're seeing at this point in palestine square in gaza city does appear to be the final preparations before the handover of four female israeli hostages who were taken into gaza on october 7th, 2023. now you can see fairly sizable crowds in this area. certainly, there is a very strong militant presence. we've been seeing flags of hamas, of palestinian islamic jihad, who have also, as we understand it, been holding some of the hostages since that day. now, the hostages themselves will be handed over to the international red cross. they will then be taken to the israeli military. they will be taken into israeli custody and into israeli territory, where they will be reunited with, we believe, their mothers, or at least a small part of their families and undergo an immediate medical test and check to make sure that they are okay to travel. they will then be taken on to a hospital where they will start their longer process of recovery, and where they will have emotional reunions with the rest of their families. we are expecting it to follow a fairly similar pattern to what we saw on sunda

this started in gaza city at palestine square, they paraded these women across. the hostages appeared to be in good condition taken to a reunification point, they saw their parents and flown to these hospitals in central israel. this is been a moment 477 days in the macon. they were taken on the morning of october 7th, many of their fellow soldiers were killed. we understand 54 soldiers lost their lives trying to defend southern israel on that david seeing these images of the soldiers reuniting with their families it is so heartwarming because they were not sure for so long if they were dead or alive. the israelis say hamas is not holding up to their end of the bargain as it relates to phase 1 of this deal. there is supposed to be a female civilian among the group today that was not released. islamic jihad, the group inside gaza believed to be holding her says that she is alive and will be released next week but the israelis looking to put pressure on hamas to ensure they hold their end of the deal. they say they won't allow palestinian civilians to cross from so

among israelis watching in hostage square in tel aviv, there were cheers, as events in gaza's palestine squareolded. the body language is positive. i must say, what seems at first sight a good appearance does not necessarily say what's going on inside, inside the body, inside the soul. among the crowd, many are still anxious. everywhere here, there are signs, reminders of the dozens of israelis still held captive in gaza. it's not clear who's alive and who's dead. and there are worries, too, about whether this fragile ceasefire will hold to free them all. and now, israel is accusing hamas of breaching the terms of the ceasefire deal, as it's not released israeli women civilian hostages first. we are determined to return, to the return of arbel yehud, an israeli citizen, kidnapped from nir oz. and also, shiri bibas and her two children, kfir and ariel, whose welfare we are extremely concerned about. israel's promised release of some 200 palestinian prisoners in exchange for its hostages did begin as planned. the prime minister's office is threatening to delay a further pull—out of israeli troop

released from hamas captivity earlier today, there was an organized handover in gaza city at palestine square, at which point hamas paraded these hostages across a stage as people cheered in the area of gaza city. they were then released into the custody of the red cross and taken to an idf reunification point along the gaza border, and that is where they remain at this moment, where they're able to meet their parents. they'll be evaluated by a team of doctors and psychologists, and then flown to a hospital just north of tel aviv. all of this coming together as part of that ceasefire agreement. this is the second group of hostages to be released from gaza. and israel's top spokesman for the military, daniel hagari, just commented on the situation, saying that they are indeed back in israeli territory, adding that during this time the israelis must remember those soldiers that fell alongside these four israeli soldiers who were taken from an observation unit at the nahal oz base along the gaza border on october 7th. hagari goes on to say that hamas did not obey to the agreement. they did not a

some call palestine square. there you see hamas flags. a lot of civilians gathered in anticipation. how do you expect this second hostage exchange to unfold? >> well, shannon, what we've seen over the last few hostage exchanges, there was a major one a few months earlier in the conflict and then obviously one last week. i mean, typically what happens is you have the hostage handed over to the red cross, and then they're brought down to the kerem shalom border crossing there from gaza into israel, where they're then picked up by israeli vehicles and then transported into israel itself. and so and then there are there are points at which they're able to meet their families. and, and we see that connection happen. that's what we saw happen last time. we'll likely see something similar again. >> exactly. i do believe again, these are live pictures from gaza city. you can see a vehicle with the international red cross symbol on it. also split screen. i believe that that that's live pictures. correct. control room of the families waiting for th

gunmen and crowds gathered at the palestine square —— at hostages square in palestine at a choreographedober 7th attacks in 2023. a short time later, israel released these pictures are showing them being received back by the military. they are now undergoing medical assessment. in exchange, israel is freeing around 200 palestinian prisoners.

movement this morning, from the moments when we saw hamas fighters and hamas vehicles set up in palestine square in the gaza strip, until the moments when those four israeli soldiers who have been held captive for more than 15 months, arrived at that square, were brought up on stage. this crowd behind me at the first sight of seeing those four women knowing through those live images that they were indeed alive and relatively well, at least from a physical standpoint, erupted in tears of joy and cheers. an extremely emotional moment where in israel, as we have seen every single one of these hostages, is near and dear to the hearts of so many israelis, everybody here feels connected to their fate. and today, a week after we saw three female israeli hostages being released, today, four more israeli soldiers now being released, and this country is in a state of ecstasy. of course, they are still waiting for the next steps in this process. and what the next weeks will indeed bring. there is so much anticipation around the fate of the remaining hostages in gaza, and whether or not their release will a

we did see in palestine square within gaza city that that they were brought up onto a stage and in front of a fairly sizable crowd, not just of standers by and and residents, but a significant number of palestinian fighters as well. of this, hagari said that it shows cynical the cynical way that hamas has organized this ceremony, also calling it a a charade, saying also that hamas had broken some elements of the ceasefire deal within this deal in this first couple of weeks, it was expected to be female civilians and children that were released. however, names that they were expecting to be on the release sheet were not there. and so instead of having a female civilian, as expected, there were the the soldiers names also mentioning the bibas family. now we know this is a family of two children, a mother and a father who have not been heard from and who the israeli military and the israeli government have said that they want more information on. so what we really heard with this statement was that there are problems, but these problems have not upended this ceasefire deal at this point. th

. >> palestine square. >> of gaza city.hat 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 preparation for the release of those four female israeli soldiers that you mentioned there. the four soldiers who were at the nahal oz military base back on october 7th, 2023, when they were taken hostage. now, we also saw them back in may. there was a video that the families of those women agreed to be released to the public, which showed them standing against a wall. it showed them bound by their hands, their bodies bruised and bloodied. t

somebody gave me the other facts ends of the palestinian resistance. movements have arrived at palestine square as a step towards swapping the prisoners and captives. these are you the captives ended dead for the palace damien days. it is very likely that this web, the will take place, place here. we are a palace tie in the square as members of cassandra who gave them other fact sense of the resistance have been deployed to the scene go to void of vehicles have arrived. this is what we have been hitting that assembly gates have the scheduled to have this lab being executed here at palestine in this class. they are in 40 dean and they and their military gave the employee, hey it on the other side of the square, we can find the other members of their resistance move. it's deployed in there for the day. and we are speaking golf, hundreds of resistance fighters arriving to the scene. we are at the side of the square. and as we speak, the palestinian resistance fighters are blowing out around the entire area. a number of vehicles have arrived, getting hundreds of resistance fighters on those sites.

so just on saturday, we saw them being crated in gosset's in palestine square in central garza. and that was met with jubilant crowds. and of course that was also reflected with the cheaper than crowds in, in ramallah when the $200.00 palestinian prisoners were released. so i know that the, they did actually stop those pro chests in the past couple of weeks in hostage square, but they resulted them on staff day because they won't already continue keep pump. this pressure on netanyahu's government to ensure that these funds are 42 days of the 1st part of the cx. 5 deal. they will see the release office, 33 captives as part of that deal. so we are now supposed to see the release of 3 people every week and that will be in a up until the 6th week. then we'll see the release of 14 captives being held in garza. and that's going to be in exchange for just over $9200.00 promising and prisoners and detainees of many of which are held in this arbitrary detention where they can be held without charge or trial for indefinite periods. so there will be people on both sides ready, obviously wa

since the cease-fire began last weekend, thousands of people gathered to watch the release at palestine squareme, israelis gathered at tel aviv's hostage square, waiting pictures of the four young women, people say it was a bittersweet moment. this video showed the moment they were escorted by the red cross escorted to israel, three of the women are 20 years old and one of them 19 years old. negotiations on the next release are now underway. >>> welcome to the weekend and all of a sudden, it is going to rain, let's look at the timing for the rain today, we have this timestamp down here, don't expect to see much rain today until we get to about noon. so let's pause right there for a moment. we will likely see hit or miss showers moving across the bay. with isolated on-again off-again hit or miss showers, it is very spotty, many places won't get anything, and it probably won't be as impressive as this is making it look. we will advance through sunday and watch what happens, we will see more showers developing through sunday. the take away is, you are not going to get a lot of rain but you could

thousands of people watched in palestine square.tched the events unfold on the big screen, people who gathered said this was a bittersweet moment. as video show the moment they were escorted by the red cross returning to israel, the women were handed over to the israeli defense force, three of them 20 years old, the fourth was 19 years old. the next release is on the way. >>> welcome to the weekend, and all of a sudden, it is going to rain. we have the timestamp down here, don't expect to see much rain today until about the later morning or maybe about noon, so likely we will see some hit or miss showers moving across some part of the bay. their way these are going to come together, very spotty, many places won't get anything and it probably won't be as impressive as this is making it look, but the take away is, at we -- as we advance through sunday, we will see more showers develop through sunday. the take away is, you are not going to get a lot of rain but, you could get one of the isolated cells that comes through and gives you a

they paraded the young women across the stage in palestine square in gaza city and the images from thehowing palestinian prisoners being released and more information about those being released into egypt today. this really raises questions about how the israelis are going to conduct themselves after phase one of the agreement because it's very clear there are two things to keep in mind. hamas is not defeated or destroyed inside gaza as we had heard from some israeli officials. and the second thing to note is that the propaganda arm of hamas is in full motion and they're take the opportunity to parade hostages through gaza city surrounded by more than 100 hamas fighters decked out in weapons and some of the weapons belonging to the israelis that were taken maybe in battle or on october 7 and they're going to use this opportunity again in the west bank to claim victory because they will be getting high profile prisoners released as part of the exchange. rachel: trey, i don't understand the strategy. to me, i see those women being paraded and surrounded by these guys with masks over thei

earlier hamas paraded them across a stage in palestine square in gaza a city before releasing them to. they were driven to the gaza border and, again, they are back here in israel. those helicopters landing at a hospital very close to where we're reporting from right now. we're also getting some new images today out of the west bank where palestinian prisoners, some of them, are being released. celebrations there as hamas and islamic jihad flags were flying, people cheering and chanting allahu akbar. as we look forward here, there is hope in israel as this progress, more israeli hostages will come out of gaza alive. of course, not all of the images are going to be pretty, and it had been very difficult can for this society as they brace for what is to come in phase one of the agreement. but again, the latest information that we have, four out of five of these israeli observers, female observers, that were taken on the morning of october 7th along the border, have been released back into israel and reunited with their loved ones. guys? rachel: thank you, trey. we're going to turn to so

there was a ceremony in gaza city, in palestine square where they were paraded through the streets, puta stage and then transferred to the red cross. the red cross vehicling drove to the idf and the idf brought them to their families on the border at reunification senter and they're being flown to a hospital in central israel and they'll be evaluated by a team of doctors and psychologist and they'll be able to link up with many of their other family members and friends. it's been a harrowing experience for so many israelis as they look at the situation in gaza, and they saw more than 470 days to get the young women out of gaza, and hamas used this opportunity to try and show the international community they're organized inside the gaza strip. but the israelis are saying they're not holding up their end of the bargain. there was one other israeli civilian that was supposed to be released and they won't palestinian civiles cross from southern to northern gaza, one of the key cease-tire agreements and could create tension between hamas and israel and israel said they're not holding up to t

we got the first images of these women that were paraded through gaza city in a place called palestine square by hamas, then handed over to the red cross, then driven to the gaza border where they reunited with their parents. this is such a long time in the process of 477 days of waiting for the israeli people. and when you see images of these young women reuniting with their family members, it is a sense of relief for the israeli people. they were flown to a hospital here in central israel, where they saw more friends and family members they're countrily evaluated by team of doctors and psychologists. local reports indicate that their medical and psychology situation is complicated that maybe makes since given how much time they were spent inside the gaza strip and getting palestinian prisoners exchanged for these four female hostages, among them are some people who are convicted of terrorism and murder. not all of the prisoners were released into the west bank where you see image of a bust that ultimately carried them to the city of ramallah and there are real questions about if the cease-f

we know they were paraded through palestine square in gaza city by hamas before being handed over to the red cross and driven to an idf checkpoint inside gaza. they were then taken to a reunification center along the border where they met their parents. they were then flown here to tel aviv where they're currently being evaluated at a hospital by doctors and psychologists. they were held merchandise gaza for -- inside gaza for 477 days, so seeing these helicopters land here in central israel sent a sigh of relief across this population. they weren't sure up until this week if these women were dead or alive. they were taken into gaza on the morning of october 7th from the base where 54 israeli soldiers were killed by hamas, and they've been held in gaza ever since. now, as we look forward here, the israelis are waiting to see if dozens of other hostages are going to come out alive. they know they will be exchanged for palestinian prisoners. as part of this agreement today, dozen os of if prisoners were released into the west bank and many released into egypt. some of the more high pro

they were then turned over to the red cross in palestine square in gaza city in the west bank. people there are waiting for the release of 200 palestinian prisoners who are part of this exchange. in phase one of this agreement, and idf spokesman daniel hagari had this to say earlier this morning. >> hamas failed to meet its obligations to first release israeli female civilian hostages as part of the agreement. we are determined to return to the return of arbel yehud and israeli citizen kidnaped from near us and also shiri bivas and her two children, kfir and ariel, whose welfare we are extremely concerned about. >> cnn's jerusalem correspondent jeremy diamond is live in tel aviv in hostage square. jeremy, there are a lot of relieved people behind you for these four women. take us there. tell us what you're seeing. >> yeah. victor. over the course of the last several hours, we have seen thousands of people gathered here at hostage square to watch every single emotional twist and turn of the release of these four female israeli soldiers who have been held captive by hamas for mor
