The first phase of the hostage deal with Hamas is set to be implemented, with 33 hostages to be released over 42 days. The hostages have endured severe physical and psychological harm during their captivity, including malnutrition, poor sanitary conditions, and long-term disabilities. Their families also bear the weight of the aftermath, and sustained support is needed. Reintegrating into normal life poses challenges, and the media must not overburden the hostages. National security interests are also a concern, as the released hostages may have valuable information for Israeli agencies. It is crucial to give the hostages the peace they deserve to rebuild their lives.
