PM’s office offers ‘big embrace’ to freed men after Hamas’s ‘false crisis’; says working with US to rescue all hostages

The Prime Minister’s Office says of the hostages’ release: “We welcome them with a big embrace. We have prepared for their return, and together with their families, we will assist in their rehabilitation after the long and agonizing days in captivity.”

It adds: “This week too, Hamas attempted to violate the agreement and create a false crisis with baseless claims. Thanks to the deployment of our forces inside and around Gaza, and thanks to President Trump’s clear and unequivocal statement, Hamas backed down, and the release of the hostages continued.

“We are working in full coordination with the United States to rescue all our hostages — both the living and the fallen — as quickly as possible, and we are fully prepared for what comes next, in every respect.”
