Former Israeli defense minister says “hearts fill with joy” as hostages reunite with familiesFrom CNN’s Lauren Izso
Israel’s former defense minister has said he is “so glad” that three Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas were released from Gaza on Thursday, as part of a ceasefire and hostage release deal between both parties.
“Our hearts fill with joy at the sight of families reuniting with their loved ones,” Yoav Gallant posted on X.
“There is no greater mitzvah (divine commandment) than redeeming captives,” he added, quoting the 12th century Jewish philosopher known as Rabbi Maimonides.
“I pray for the return of all the hostages and embrace the families who await the return of their loved ones,” said Gallant.
Gallant served as defense minister until November 5, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired him after months of clashes over domestic politics and Israel’s war in Gaza.
Eight hostages – three Israeli and five Thai nationals – were released from captivity in different parts of Gaza on Thursday.
In total, 33 Israeli hostages taken captive by Hamas and other armed groups in the October 7 attacks are supposed to be released in the first phase of the agreement, which began on January 19. Israel is also supposed to release around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
