among them, quite significantly, was yarden bibas. very bittersweet moment for his his mother and his father and his sister were here to square in particular. october the 7th attacks and were never charged. they were held in what israel calls preventative detention. because, yes, while a lot many of the palestinian many others have not have been found guilty of much lesser offences or not been charged at all. ceasefire deal is working. and they want this ceasefire agreement to continue, even though there is significant political pressure to expire and for the war against hamas in gaza to end. and just take us through events in, in gaza as well, what sort of reception did they receive? yeah, well, of course, in gaza itself, what should be and the israeli government have made it clear they would not accept those scenes again. than half of those prisoners released from israeli jails were sent back into gaza. serious crimes were exiled through gaza to is popular and is gaining strength and is working. and that was the partial reopening of

the fact that yarden is being released before them raises serious questions about their fate. we know that israeli officials have said that they are gravely concerned for their fate, and hamas in the past has said that they were killed in an israeli airstrike, although israeli officials have yet to actually confirm that. one other thing that i think is important to note about how today's release has unfolded is the fact that they were far more orderly, far less chaotic than what we saw this past thursday. and that was notable because israel had formally protested about the way in which those handovers happened on thursday, in particular with arbel yehoud that 29 year old female israeli hostage who was released and she looked absolutely terrified amid these unruly crowds and masked hamas and palestinian islamic jihad militants so that clearly changed today. and as a result, we we understand that the rafah border crossing is now being made fully operational with the first 56 wounded and sick civilians set to be transferred for medical evaluation through the egyptian crossing. >>

yarden bibas is coming home to a very different reality, and that's also noteworthy. what we haven't also talked about is what's happening on the other side. on the palestinian releases, with the 183 palestinian prisoners to be released today, including 32 prisoners who are serving life sentences for killing israelis. the joy that we will see on the palestinian side is exactly the opposite. feeling that israelis have when they see these palestinian prisoners being released. so it's an extraordinarily emotional period in this country. and, of course, the biggest question is what will happen in the coming days and weeks? the negotiations on phase two are supposed to begin on monday. on tuesday, prime minister netanyahu will be in the oval office with president trump and steve witkoff, the emissary for the middle east. and this deal is only happening now because trump told netanyahu to make sure that happens now. and the question is, will trump tell netanyahu to make sure that it continues into phase two? >> yeah, well, i mean, that is the question, because certainly we'
