'He has left hell': Israelis welcome home hostages after 15 months in Gaza
Saturday, 1 February 2025 At first, it was a gentle noise in the distance, but then it became louder and more rhythmic. People started pointing into the sky, and the cheering began, rumbling through Hostages Square.
"We made this film, Palestinians and Israelis, because together our voices are stronger," Israeli journalist and director Yuval Abraham says as he accepts, along with Palestinian reporter and director Basel Adra, the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for their film "No Other Land" on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. "We call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people," Adra urges. "It's not too late for life, for the living," Abraham adds before concluding his speech.

Israel has released 183 Palestinian prisoners in the latest hostage exchange deal under the ongoing ceasefire agreement. Among those freed are Hamas political figures and individuals convicted of deadly attacks against Israelis. A Red Cross bus transported the detainees to Ramallah, where they were greeted with celebrations by large crowds. The release comes after Hamas handed over three Israeli hostages as part of the negotiated swap. This exchange is part of broader efforts to secure further prisoner releases amid fragile truce talks.

Trump’s unexpected intervention has pushed Israel and Hamas back to the negotiating table. The intense pressure from Trump’s ultimatum, calling for a ceasefire extension and the release of hostages, has led both sides to resume high-stakes talks in Doha, Qatar. Israel has sent a delegation with the hope of securing the release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander and others held by Hamas, in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire extension. While Israel seeks the safe return of hostages, Hamas is demanding further concessions, including the release of 24 presumed-living hostages and a permanent end to the war.
