A powerful moment of hope and reunion: Israeli hostages embraced their families for the first time since their captivity on October 7th. The Israel Government Press Office (GPO), in cooperation with Beilinson Hospital, opened a press center to document these emotional reunions, ensuring the world witnesses their relief and resilience.

Hamas announced the names of four female Israeli hostages it plans to release on Saturday after 477 days in captivity. This announcement appears to violate the terms of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which outlines the order in which hostages should be released: female civilians first, followed by female soldiers, then the elderly, and finally individuals with severe illnesses.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz held consultations with security chiefs to determine how to respond to this breach.
After deliberations, Israel agreed not to break up the ceasefire over the discrepancy.

Netanyahu’s office confirmed receiving the names of the hostages but stated that a comment would be issued later. At the request of Israeli officials, the media has refrained from publishing the names until the hostages’ families have been informed.

23/01/2025

A week of emotional milestones for Israel:

- Three hostages, Emily Damari, Romi Gonen, and Doron Steinbrecher, were released after 471 days in Hamas captivity under a ceasefire brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S.

- Four more female hostages are set for release this Saturday.

- IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi announced his early resignation following the October 7th attacks.

- Israeli-Russian researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov is reportedly alive, with efforts underway to secure her release.

- Yuval Raphael, a Nova festival survivor, will represent Israel at Eurovision 2025 after winning Rising Star.

Crisis Unfolds as Hamas Reneges on Agreement.

In a statement issued this morning (Thursday, 16 January 2025), the Prime Minister's Office announced that Hamas has reneged on critical elements of an agreement previously reached with mediators and Israel. The move, described as an attempt to secure last-minute concessions, has led to a significant diplomatic crisis.

The Israeli Cabinet has decided to postpone its meeting until mediators confirm that Hamas has agreed to honor all terms of the original agreement. This development underscores ongoing tensions and challenges in achieving lasting resolutions in the region.

Further updates are expected as mediators continue their efforts to resolve the impasse.

Highly anticipated negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas face a temporary setback, as Hamas delays its anticipated response to the proposed framework.

Mediators, including Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S., assure that the delay is procedural and emphasize their efforts to expedite a resolution. Israeli sources express cautious optimism, hinting that a response could come imminently, as the talks approach what many describe as the "final stretch."

Military preparations for the deal’s implementation are already underway, while domestic political tensions rise over the terms of the agreement. The proposed deal includes the release of hostages in phases, alongside major prisoner exchanges and humanitarian measures.

Bedouin Israeli Yousef Al-Ziyadne was found dead in Gaza, alongside two Palestinian
Terrorists who had been guarding him. Reports say Yousef was found in a tunnel and that troops also located findings connecting to his son Hamza.

Yousef and three of his children were taken from the southern kibbutz of Holit on October 7, 2023.

Ziyadne children Aisha and Bilal, were also kept in captivity, but were released in November as part of the first ceasefire agreement.

A relative said “We wanted them to return to the bosom of the family alive - but unfortunately they returned dead." He also called this a “difficult and shocking disaster.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog also expressed their sympathy for the Ziyadne family. The Israel Daily News sends our heartfelt condolences.

Israel’s Defense Ministry has signed two major agreements worth $275 million with Elbit Systems to enhance its munitions production capabilities. The deals include the local manufacturing of thousands of heavy bombs for the Israeli Air Force and the establishment of a state-of-the-art facility to produce raw materials needed for defense manufacturing. These efforts aim to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, especially following recent U.S. delays in arms shipments. Defense officials highlighted the agreements as a strategic move to secure Israel’s operational independence and sustain its military readiness during ongoing regional conflicts.

The new production plant will focus on creating advanced energetic materials, enabling Israel to maintain sovereign control over essential defense resources. Defense Ministry Director General Eyal Zamir emphasized that these projects will lay the groundwork for long-term security, providing reliable resources for all types of munitions. The initiative reflects lessons learned during the recent war, where supply chain vulnerabilities highlighted the need for self-sufficiency. With over 83,000 munitions launched in recent airstrikes, the local production of bombs and raw materials is expected to bolster Israel’s defense capabilities and readiness for future challenges.

On January 4, 2025, Hamas released a distressing video of 19-year-old hostage Liri Albag, held captive since October 7, 2023. In the footage, Albag appears visibly shaken, prompting her family to issue an emotional plea to the Israeli government for urgent action.

Albag, a surveillance soldier abducted from the Nahal Oz military base, states in the clip that it has been more than 450 days since she was captured. Her family said the video tore them apart stating, “This is not the Liri we know.” They urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to intensify efforts to secure her release, emphasizing, “Act as if your children were there.”

As negotiations with Hamas continue in Doha, families of hostages are calling on the government to prioritize a deal before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum is rallying for immediate action, highlighting the urgent need to bring all captives home safely.
