There are officially no more hostages in captivity in Gaza.

@norrie1313 We have been playing great. Just can’t finish and put it in the back of the net. The Caps won with an extremely good deflection. The Oilers won with a bad puck off the linesman. We just need to start finishing our chances and we’ll be fine

[Christopher C. Cuomo @ChrisCuomo]

The hostages are home...but not everyone celebrating means it...and it is time to expose the posers:

[Brian Friedland @Klegerator]

@norrie1313 Fire everyone. This team doesn’t know how to finish games

Just listen to the heartbreak in the voice of Chris Kenny as he fights away the tears😢

Chris has been one of the most powerful and outspoken voices in world media with most exemplary moral compass and courage.

We’re all heartbroken💔

[Christopher C. Cuomo @ChrisCuomo]

President Biden, you're treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. There is a primary reality: Hamas is a terror organization and they need to give the hostages back.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

Amazing battlefield achievement.

The IDF has just completed a 2 week operation on a Hamas command center that Hamas embedded within the Shifa Medical Center.

Hamas used staff and patients as human shields in order to cause maximum civilian casualties as to create more criticism and pressure on Israel.

The results are remarkable:

- 6,000 civilians were evacuated by the IDF to keep them safe.
- 200 Hamas terrorists were killed.
- 500 Hamas terrorists have been captured.
- *No civilian was killed*. Not one.

This is unprecedented in urban warfare.
Our military is learning and improving by the day.

These results undermine the false claim that the IDF is targeting civilians.

If we didn’t care about innocent lives, we’d have simply bombed the whole complex, without risking lives of our own fighters.

Israel will continue until we remove Hamas and bring the hostages home.

I’m proud to be Israeli and proud of the IDF, a beacon of light.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

I see that Israel is being portrayed as a war monger, seeking to fight with all our neighbours.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Here are a few facts to consider:
⁃When Hamas delivered its October 7th surprise massacre, there were no territorial disputes between Israel and Hamas: Israel had vacated 100% of Gaza 18 years earlier. The massacre was out of the blue.
⁃Following Oct 7th, Israel did not initiate any attack on Hezbollah. It was them who attacked us.
⁃Israel’s army is a citizens army. Our boys and girls serve there. You can be a CEO, a teacher or a plumber, your kids will serve side by side, merits-based only. This means we hate war. It’s not “someone else’s kids”. It’s ours. We want are kids to live. We send our boys to war only as last resort. All Israelis—left and right—understand that if we allow Hamas to survive this pogrom, our worst enemies will realize that you can attack Israel, rape our daughters, burn our babies and get away with it. That would spell our doom.

Despite the tsunami of false propaganda describing Israel as deliberately killing citizens, we’re actually prosecuting one of the most careful wars ever recorded.

There are roughly 30k-35k Gazans dead (if you believe Hamas reports), of which ~15k of them are terrorists.
This is against an enemy whose fundamental strategy is to increase deaths of its own people in order to pressure Israel.

This is a very low ratio of civilian/fighter death, in perhaps the toughest of circumstances (500 miles of tunnels, dense area, widespread use of human shields).

In a recent raid on Shifa, which is a Hamas headquarter based in a hospital (!) we killed about 170 terrorists, captured at least 400, with ZERO civilian casualties. Zero.

Friends, let me be clear: at this very moment radical Islamic terrorists in Madrid, New York, Paris and London are following this war.
If Israel is blocked from defeating Hamas, each one of them will be inspired.
If we crush Hamas, their hopes for terror will be crushed along.
YOU will be safer.

Bottom line:
You actually know the truth: Israel has no choice but to defeat Hamas and bring home our hostages.
You, wherever you live, would do the same.
We’re doing our best to minimise civilian casualties.
The best thing that anyone in the world can do is to get behind Israel with all your energy and support and thank us for fighting everybody’s fight.

@EWRairport the AirTrain is a mess today. Took me an hour and a half to get from the NJ transit station to terminal A. This needs to be fixed or hundreds of people will miss their flights
