ellie shahabi, whose wife and children were killed in a bunker and whose brother yossi was killed inm the israeli bombs that my brother was killed. obviously, this was all these were all statements that were made under duress. after these statements were made and the three hostages were then shuffled into the red cross vehicles and left. we got a statement, essentially from the prime minister on social media. and i'll read you just kind of a part of what he said. saying with the shocking images that we have seen today, this will not go unnoticed. what exactly that means from prime minister benjamin netanyahu? we don't necessarily know. and then we saw the emotional reunions of these three individuals, these three hostages with their families. or levy, 34 years old, being reunited with his brother at a hospital on the outskirts of tel aviv. his brother running up and embracing him and then subsequently giving him a picture drawn for him by his very young son that he hasn't seen in 491 days. remember again, his wife was killed in that bunker after they were at the music festival on oct

he was taken alongside his brother yossi into gaza. his brother was also killed in captivity. taken to sheba hospital. what we don't know about elli is whether or not he knew that his wife and children were killed before he was taken captive, and so likely he has now learned of their fate and incredibly likely emotional moment, but bittersweet. i think, for so many israelis, because guys, when they took to the stage after being alongside the islamic militants in central gaza, they had to make speeches and they looked incredibly emaciated. they did not look well. some of the other hostages that have been released have looked like they were in better shape. these three did not. and oftentimes when they're medical, when their health is assessed, they are then it's then decided as to whether or not they're going to be taken to critical care immediately on the other side of the border, or taken to these hospitals they've been assigned to. they were in bad shape, but not bad enough to be taken to critical care. nonetheless, they had to make these speeches, and at the time, prime min

and my friend, you're on, you know, yossi, really? fouda. i mean you're you're showing up there in the middle of the night under the most high risk circumstances at times, and things are the most difficult to solve when terrorist acts are are just about to be committed and you're coming in there and everyone's risking their lives, if you were there, you're on the ground right? you'd have better security. don't you agree? and i mean and this is this is the guy that runs. yes. he's not there anymore. but this is the guy. but this is a this is a it's it's complicated. it really is. i mean, the the israeli people are the people i know they what they've done since october the seventh is extraordinary. the courage there. but it's lot of it. a lot of the the kids like the ones who are like under 30, they get it the you know, the guys 60, 70. i don't know i don't know what's happened but they've a lot of them have lost way and maybe never had their way. you know, and i'll just say this, like, i don't i hate being critical of israel. it may be it may
