[IsraelTimes] ‘I thought they were terrorizing me psychologically’: Arbel says she didn’t believe her captors when they told her hostages had become a political issue in Israel Released hostage Arbel Yehoud condemned on Monday the politicization of the issue of the hostages held in the 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 oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip and called on the government to agree to a comprehensive one-time deal for the release of all those still in captivity. Yehoud was released at the end of last month. Her remarks were delivered in a message read aloud by her father to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. "I learned Arabic within a month, and I heard my captors express joy at the division in our nation over the issue of the hostages’ release," Yehiel Yehoud read from his daughter’s statement. "I thought they were terrorizing me psychologically when the issue of the hostages became a political issue. I didn’t believe it until I returned to Israel and was exposed to this harsh reality." Mass demonstrations of support for the hostages began soon after the war erupted on October 7, 2023, when the terror group Hamas ![]() led thousands of gunnies to invade southern Israel, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 to Gaza. Alongside these rallies, weekly anti-government protests resumed in Tel Aviv, which had focused on the proposed judicial overhaul before the war. The two movements held distinct events in the city, but participants often joined together after the hostage demonstrations ended. Over time, as the war dragged on, hostages’ families became increasingly impatient with the government for not securing their loved ones’ release. Some openly panned the government over its handling of the situation. Amid accusations from critics that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was avoiding commitment to a ceasefire to preserve his coalition — due to threats from its right-wing flank to bolt if the war ended before Hamas was destroyed — the hostage support rallies have over time taken on an increasingly hostile tone toward the government. After some 15 months of fighting, a three-stage hostage-ceasefire deal was reached last month. Under the first phase of the deal, Hamas is gradually releasing some of the hostages, Israel is releasing hundreds of Paleostinian security prisoners, and the fighting in Gaza has been paused. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, Gloria again dodged the questing tip of the giant frog's tongue and ran for her life... negotiations on the subsequent stages that would ultimately result in a permanent ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal from the enclave — alongside the release of all the remaining hostages — are meant to begin. It was during the ongoing first six-week phase that Arbel Yehoud was released. Other freed hostages have also said that their terrorist guards would show them news from Israel of anti-government rallies on their behalf. |
