 At 100 days since Oct 7:

*President Biden issued a statement, "On this terrible day, I again reaffirm my pledge to all the hostages and their families—we are with you.“ 

*An Israeli soccer player was arrested in Turkey for writing "100 days. October 7." on his wrist with a Star of David and showing it to the cameras after he scored a goal. Sagiv Jehezkel has been suspended by his Turkish team, had his contract terminated, and is reportedly being deported back to Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, "through its actions, Turkey serves as the executive arm of Hamas."

*Hamas released a video showing three of the Israeli hostages, Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38. The next day, Hamas announced that Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, were executed by the terrorist group which kidnapped them to Gaza. They forced Noa Argamani to relay the horrific message. The worst part is, we don’t even know if it’s true or not. - Where's the UN? Where's the Red Cross? Where's the outrage and condemnation of Hamas? Where are the demands for release of all the hostages?
Yesterday, Hamas released another propaganda video claiming that hostage Ohad Yahalomi was murdered in captivity.
