German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed optimism following the release of four hostages from Gaza during an Israeli military operation on Saturday.
He described this development as a "significant sign of hope," particularly for the many Israeli families still fearing for their loved ones' safety.
In a message shared on the social media platform X, Chancellor Scholz emphasized the importance of this event. "A significant sign of hope - especially for the many Israeli families who continue to fear for their loved ones. Four hostages are now free. Hamas must finally release all the hostages. The war must end," he wrote.
The liberation of the hostages has been met with relief and cautious optimism from various international leaders and organizations. Many echo Chancellor Scholz’s call for Hamas to release all remaining hostages and for an end to the conflict.
Every time an Israeli airstrike hits Gaza, international media outlets rush to cite “Gaza’s Civil Defense” for casualty figures—often highlighting the deaths of women and children. But rarely, if ever, do these reports mention militants, armed operatives, or Hamas fighters killed. Why?
Iranian intelligence agencies have obtained a large trove of sensitive Israeli documents, some related to the nuclear plans and facilities of Tehran's arch enemy, Iran's state media reported on Saturday.
Somewhere between a misguided humanitarian mission and an awkward Mediterranean yacht party, the Madleen — a tiny sailboat carrying 12 impassioned activists, a few crates of juice, and a whole lot of attitude — is inching its way toward Gaza.
