Palestinians show support for Hamas during Israeli hostages release in Gaza

Palestinians in Gaza expressed support for Hamas's armed wing during a ceremony for the release of Israeli hostages. The event took place in Rafah, where hostages were handed over to the Red Cross as part of a prisoner exchange. This marks a shift in the narrative surrounding the hostages, as the focus has now turned to the public display of support for Hamas. Previously, the situation was dominated by concerns over the hostages' safety and the ongoing conflict. Hamas also returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including the mother of a prominent Israeli figure. This has led to disputes over the identities of the deceased, further complicating the already tense situation.
