Day 511 Hostages Update: 59 hostages including 5 Americans remain in Hamas captivity. 
Hamas agreed not to create a spectacle at the handover of four murdered hostages after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a delay in the release of Palestinian security prisoners in response to Hamas’ repeated violations of the agreement, “...including the ceremonies that humiliate our hostages and the cynical exploitation of our hostages for propaganda purposes….”, including firing a rocket from the southern part of the Gaza Strip on Monday [that fell within Gaza]. 
The bodies of four hostages murdered by Hamas were returned to Israel thisThursday, completing Phase One of the hostage agreement that began January 19 and stipulated the release of 33 hostages.

HOSTAGE UPDATE:  505 Days
Hostages are in the hands of people who kill babies with their bare hands.
EmojiAmericans, are still being held in Hamas' hell under Gaza.
EmojiSix hostages released alive on Saturday: - Avera/Avraham Mengistu, 38 - Hisham al-Sayed, 36 - Omer Wenkert/Finkert, 23 - Eliya Cohen, 27 - Tal Shoham, 39 - Omer Shem-Tov, 22. 
Avera and Hisham had been held captive by Hamas for over a decade, 3,821 days.
EmojiHamas was supposed to release the bodies of four murdered Israeli hostages on February 20. Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz were all taken alive on October 7 and murdered while in captivity in Gaza. Returned were the bodies of murdered Bibas infant and toddler, Lifshitz, and an unknown body. Hamas created a horrific spectacle, parading the coffins below a banner showing images of their smiling faces before a cheering crowd of Palestinian families then handed over locked coffins labled “Date of arrest: October 7th,” along with keys that didn’t open the coffins. The next day, the Red Cross received a coffin holding Shiri Bibas.
EmojiKhalil al-Hayya of Hamas' expressed "openness" to "release all 59 remaining live hostages" together in one day.
EmojiThe United States must increase the pressure on Hamas and its sponsors in Iran, Qatar and Turkey to release the hostages.

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." Hamas used Eitan Horn’s stolen pickup truck as a prop in their sham ceremony and the terrorists arrived in Yair’s brother’s vehicle to release him.

EmojiThe United States must increase the pressure on Hamas and its sponsors in Iran, Qatar and Turkey to release the hostages.
