Hey there! 😊 We have some important news to share. On Saturday, four young Israeli women were released by Hamas and have been reunited with their families. The women, aged between 19 and 20, were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza City.
The women—Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, and Naama Levy—were working as army observers near the Gaza Strip border when they were taken on October 7, 2023. After being released, they appeared to be in good health and were all smiles as they met their families again. 😊❤️
This release is part of a larger agreement between Hamas and Israel. In exchange, Israeli authorities have released 200 Palestinian prisoners. This exchange is happening during a ceasefire, which means both sides have agreed to stop fighting for a while. Ceasefires and prisoner exchanges like this can be steps toward peace. ✌️
The agreement was made possible with help from countries like Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. They worked hard to help both sides come to an agreement. 🌍🤝
There are still people who are waiting to return home, and we hope that more families will be reunited soon. Let’s keep hoping for peace and understanding between everyone involved.
