Emotional scenes as freed Thai hostages 'feel grateful' to be back home
Sunday, 9 February 2025 () Five Thai men held hostage for 15 months in Gaza have arrived back in their home country where they were reunited with their families.
The three hostages released on Saturday by Hamas appeared to be in much poorer physical condition than any of the other 18 returnees, sparking widespread condemnation among Israeli civic society and human rights groups.

The U.S. State Department has approved a massive $6.75 billion arms sale to Israel, including precision bombs, guidance kits, and Hellfire missiles, just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Trump in Washington. This comes amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza and growing global criticism of Trump’s push to relocate Palestinians and reshape the region. With deadly 2,000-pound bombs back in Israel’s arsenal after Biden had previously halted their delivery, is the ceasefire doomed?

Hamas has released three Israeli hostages under tight security in Gaza as part of a prisoner exchange deal. The chilling moment was captured on video, showing the hostages flanked by heavily armed Hamas fighters as they were handed over to the Red Cross. Unlike previous releases, the hostages displayed no visible relief or emotion, holding up their release certificates in silence while Israel closely observed the exchange. The Israeli Defense Forces later escorted them out of Gaza for medical evaluations. The highly controlled event underscores the tense negotiations and ongoing conflict in the region.
