I am thankful that Hamas have released two more captives, both Israeli women, and returned them to their families. I am also thankful of the goodwill and kindness of the governments of Qatar and Egypt who facilitated their release.
Two hundred more Israelis, mostly civilians, are still imprisoned by Hamas. Meanwhile the tragedy that is the slaughter of the Palestinian people trapped in Gaza continues. Aid is arriving, but not nearly enough.
Joe Biden continues to give the greenlight to the massacres of civilians in Gaza, followed by other Western leaders, endorsing this futile campaign of indiscriminate death – hurting and killing people who had nothing to do with the massacre in Israel on 7 October.
