Protesters block Tel Aviv highway, demanding Israel ‘not endanger’ hostage deal
Stupidly staying bought after they took almost four million dollars from USAID. But there’ll be no more for the next four years, so now it’s just about their innate hate of Bibi and whatever is left over in the bank account.
[IsraelTimes] Protesters demanding the release of hostages blocked the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv on Monday night, seething at the government as the ceasefire-hostage release deal in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
appeared to be faltering, and as Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
said it would delay the next hostage release until further notice because Israel was ostensibly violating the terms of the deal.

"We demand the government of Israel not fall victim to the terror group’s spin and ensure that the door that was opened will not be shut," the Hostages Families Forum said in a statement late Monday.

"The difficult images from this past Saturday" — when an emaciated Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, and Ohad Ben-Ami were freed from Gaza — "leave no room for doubt — this government cannot in any way delay the second stage, and definitely not endanger the deal," the forum added.

The protesters stormed onto the highway at the tail end of a gathering outside the Tel Aviv Museum, now dubbed Hostages Square, to mark the 24th birthday of hostage Alon Ohel, a day after his family received the first sign of life from him following more than 16 months in captivity.

Ohel, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, is not on the list of hostages slated to be freed in the first stage of the deal. Seventeen more captives are scheduled to be returned in the coming weeks, nine of them alive, with an additional 59 still held hostage, a figure that includes 34 confirmed dead by Israel.

On Sunday, Alon’s mother, Idit, revealed that a hostage who had recently been freed from Gaza reported that her son was being held underground in a Hamas tunnel, bound, starved and suffering from untreated shrapnel wounds to his shoulder, arm, and now-partially blind eye.

Addressing those gathered, Idit Ohel slammed the government for appearing to drag its feet in talks to move ahead with the next potential phases of the ceasefire deal — which must still be negotiated — that could see her son returned.

Idit said that after receiving the sign of life from her son, her family was contacted by bigwigs from around the world, but "there was one government whose representatives didn’t bother to speak with us — the government of Israel."

In English, she asked US President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets...
to "do everything in your power to ensure that this deal continues."
So much for that. It turns out Hamas was the problem all along, not Bibi.
Addressing those gathered in Hostages Square on Monday night, Idit implored them to "keep shouting. Keep demanding the return of every single one of them. They need to come home — they need to come home now!"

Meanwhile,
...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him....
Ofer Calderon, who was freed from Gaza on February 1, revealed on Monday that he was "held in tunnels without seeing daylight, had no access to media, experienced severe hunger conditions, and went entire months without showering or receiving proper care."

In a statement from the released captive shared by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, Calderon — who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz with two of his children — said that "immediately after the first deal [in November 2023], the conditions of my captivity and those of many other hostages severely deteriorated and became brutal."

During that weeklong truce, his children Sahar and Erez were freed from captivity as part of a deal that saw most of the women and kiddies taken hostage returned to Israel.

"We must not stop the current deal and must continue working to free all the hostages," Calderon added. "Hamas is a cruel enemy who will not hesitate to harm the hostages left behind. We must get everyone out as quickly as possible."
