Israel’s former defense minister has expressed his happiness over the release of three Israeli hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas and held in Gaza. The hostages were freed as part of a ceasefire and hostage release deal between the two parties.
Former defense minister Yoav Gallant shared his sentiments on social media, stating, “Our hearts fill with joy at the sight of families reuniting with their loved ones.” He emphasized the importance of redeeming captives, quoting the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Rabbi Maimonides.
