“Welcome Back”: Netanyahu’s Handwritten Note In Welcome Kits For Hostages
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara Netanyahu, have added a personal message for the hostages, who were released by Palestinian group Hamas after over two years, to the welcome kits prepared for them.
“On behalf of the entire people of Israel, welcome back! We have been waiting for you. We embrace you. Sara and Benjamin Netanyahu,” the handwritten note in Hebrew said.
Netanyahu’s office shared the picture of the note on X and said the welcome kits for returning hostages include clothing and personal equipment like a laptop, a mobile phone, and a tablet.
Hamas, which attacked Israeli towns on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking over 250 hostages, has released 20 Israeli hostages under the first phase of a ceasefire agreement with Israel.
The names included Bar Abraham Kupershtein, Evyatar David, Yosef-Chaim Ohana, Segev Kalfon, Avinatan Or, Elkana Bohbot, Maxim Herkin, Nimrod Cohen, Matan Angrest, Matan Zangauker, Eitan Horn, Eitan Abraham Mor, Gali Berman, Ziv Berman, Omri Miran, Alon Ohel, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, Rom Braslavski, Ariel Cunio, and David Cunio.
Under US President Donald Trump’s proposed roadmap, Hamas is to release all the remaining 47 hostages, living and dead.
Once the group hands over the surviving hostages, Israel will begin releasing around 2,000 detainees in exchange.
