Sunday January 19, Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari, hostages of Hamas for 471 days, returned to Israel. A release against a backdrop of Hamas propaganda, according to Israel.
A final provocation. On Sunday January 19, Hamas released three Israeli hostages held since the attack on October 7, 2023, Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari. When the three young women were taken to the Red Cross vehicle that took them back to Israel, many soldiers from the terrorist organization were gathered and one of them gave them bags with the logo of the organization.
Inside, Hamas would have slipped “memories” of their life in captivity, according to the Israeli news agency Ynet. In a video documenting their release, the organization confirms having given them a “diploma” attesting that they had been captive. A golden certificate with which they were forced to pose and the Red Cross to sign. Ynet adds that there were also photos of them in captivity in the bag, as well as a “souvenir photo” from Gaza.

“These objects provide a clear overview of the methods of psychological torture used by Hamas on prisoners,” denounces the “Jerusalem Post,” insisting that it is a “cynical game.” Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari spent 471 days in captivity. When they returned, they were surrounded by an Israeli flag.
