The three hostages freed by Hamas on Saturday — Eli Sharabi, 52, Or Levy, 34, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56 — looked emaciated and unsteady on their feet as they were released by Hamas 16 months after they were kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri and the Nova music festival.

- The three hostages were moved by Hams terrorists from place to place during their captivity. Many places. They were held in underground tunnels and hardly saw daylight.

Sara and I hug them, and their preciousfamilies. We have seen again what the monsters of Hamas are. These are the same monsters who slaughtered our citizens and abused our hostages. And I tell them again: their blood is on their heads.We will do everything to return all our hostages. We will ensure their safety. This is the instruction I gave to the delegation - to tell the mediators this, and to demand it.

But beyond that, President Trump completely agreed with me: we will do everything to return all the hostages, but Hams will not be there.

We will eliminate Hamas, and we will return our hostages.

- Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar also denounced the international community for having accused Israel of starving Gaza’s population during the war,  with the minister saying Hamas fighters and Palestinians civilians “look excellent” while the Israeli hostages emerged gaunt and frail. “For over a year, the international community danced to the false tunes of the so-called starvation in Gaza propaganda, but the pictures don’t lie,” said Sa’ar.  “The Hamas terrorists and the Gaza residents look excellent. The Israeli hostages look like Holocaust survivors, and they are the only ones in the pictures who look like they have clearly suffered from malnutrition,” the foreign minister said, accusing Hamas of “committing crimes against humanity” in its treatment of the hostages.

“The Hamas-Nazi evil must be eradicated,” Sa’ar added.
