Hostage Update: 737 Days
Hamas just released the names of the 20 living hostages we expect to be released within the hour. Crowds in Gaza are chanting "Free Palestine" and blocking Red Cross convoys. The first group likely to be released from Gaza City includes: Eitan Mor, Gali and Ziv Berman, Matan Angrest, Omri Miran, and Alon Ohel 
The Red Cross reports that they have finally met with some of the hostages held by Hamas.

It is beyond denial now. The playbook is unfolding perfectly as Gazans take selfies with fat bellies, gold watches and new iPhones claiming to be “survivors of the Holocaust”. Viral tweets are circulating that more people died in Gaza than in the Nazi concentration camps. May I remind you that 63% of adults aged 18-39 in America don’t know that six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust; 11% believe Jews caused it and 10% believe it was a myth. They are primed to digest this desecration of history. - Eve Barlow https://evebarlow.substack.com/p/rebuilding-the-
