The Israeli military confirmed the recovery of the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages, Judih Weinstein and Gad Haggai, who were killed during Hamas's October 2023 attack. Their daughter expressed gratitude to the Israeli military and governments for this closure while advocating for the release of remaining hostages. However, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with casualties from Israeli airstrikes. The families of hostages emphasize the government's responsibility to ensure the safe return of all hostages to facilitate community healing and support ongoing negotiations for others still missing or imprisoned.
The return of Judi and Gad is painful and heartbreaking, yet it also brings healing to our uncertainty. Their return reminds us all that it is the state's duty to bring everyone home, so that we, the families, together with all the people of Israel, can begin the process of healing and recovery.
My beautiful parents have been freed. We have certainty, their daughter, Iris Haggai Liniado, wrote in a Facebook post.
