Gaza's Hamas rulers released two Americans on Friday among some 200 hostages they abducted in brutal October 7 attacks in Israel and indicated that more could follow.
The pair were met at the Gaza border by an Israeli envoy and taken to a military base in central Israel"where their families are waiting to meet them". He also thanked the"community around the world who have really put my sister at the forefront of their thoughts, of their prayers". The hostages have become a major issue in Israel, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the government would use"any means available to locate all those missing and bring home all the kidnapped".
"Our fellow citizens have endured a terrible ordeal these past 14 days, and I am overjoyed that they will soon be reunited with their family, who has been wracked with fear," he said in a statement."Every single one of them should be released."
