Hamas Releases Hostages With Creepy 'Gift Bags' With Photos Of Captivity, “Certificates Of Release”

In a chilling propaganda display, Hamas handed released hostages bizarre “gift bags” featuring photos of their captivity, a commemorative Gaza photo, and gold-gilded “certificates of release.” The released hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, described the gesture as a “cynical game” aimed at psychological manipulation. Video footage shared by Hamas shows the hostages being escorted through Gaza City by a motorcade of armed, masked terrorists, with crowds mobbing the vehicles. Eventually handed over to the Red Cross, the hostages were transported to safety, marking the first phase of a cease-fire deal. #HamasHostageRelease #HostageGiftBags #HamasPropaganda #PhotosOfCaptivity #CertificatesOfRelease #HostageCrisis #IsraelHamasCeasefire #BizarreGiftBags #GazaHostages #HamasTactics #PropagandaStunt #HostageExchange #HamasVideo #MiddleEastCrisis #CeasefireDeal ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.346~

ISRAELI FINANCE MINISTER THREATENS TO TOPPLE GOVERNMENT

The Gaza ceasefire agreement has ignited a political crisis within Israel, as far-right ministers, led by Bezalel Smotrich, threaten to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. Smotrich criticized the ceasefire as a "surrender to Hamas" and demanded that Israel continue its military operations in Gaza to defeat Hamas. He warned of the government's collapse unless it resumes military actions and establishes control over Gaza. Smotrich's party, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's, has withdrawn from the coalition, heightening tensions. Despite the withdrawals, Netanyahu's government retains a narrow majority in the Knesset. The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties, and international bodies have issued warrants and rulings against Israeli leaders over actions in Gaza. #GazaCeasefire #Netanyahu #BenGvir #Smotrich #IsraeliPolitics #NetanyahuCrisis #FarRightIsrael #PoliticalStorm #SmotrichThreatens #IsraelGovernment #GazaConflict #PoliticalTensions #IsraeliMinisters #HamasCeasefire #IsraelTruce #NetanyahuUnderFire #GazaWar #IsraelCrisis Also Read Three Israeli Hostages Return Home as Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas Holds :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-israeli-hostages-arrive-in-israel-ceasefire-update-011-4047103.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases First Three Israeli Hostages As Gaza Ceasefire Takes Effect :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-first-israeli-hostages-as-gaza-ceasefire-takes-effect-4046999.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas Scheduled to Commence Sunday Morning Amid Ongoing Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-between-israel-and-hamas-to-begin-sunday-morning-011-4046373.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.344~

The shadow housing secretary says, "it's good the economy is growing because it's not been growing since Labour took over". Kevin Hollinrake's comments come after latest figures show that the economy grew by 0.1% in November says the economic "black hole" that Labour claims it inherited from the previous Conservative government is "self-inflicted" and was caused by pay rises given to public sector workers "without any negotiation, without any strings attached in terms of productivity".
