The next day, the Red Cross received a coffin holding Shiri Bibas.Khalil al-Hayya of Hamas' expressed "openness" to "release all 59 remaining live hostages" together in one day.The United States must increase the pressure on Hamas and its sponsors in Iran, Qatar and Turkey to release the hostages.------------------------------------

Hamas evil on full display: At the hostage release (Sasha Troufanov, Sagui Dekel-Chen, and Iair (Yair) Horn) spectacle last Saturday, CNN stated that the hostages were given memorabilia. No, the hostages weren’t carrying "memorabilia." They weren’t leaving a holiday camp with souvenirs. The hourglass, a cruel taunt from Hamas, bore an image of Matan Zangauker, still in captivity, meant for his mother with the message: "Time is running out."
