Trump hosts captives he helped free from Gaza: ‘You’re not hostages anymore, you’re heroes’
[IsraelTimes] Group includes 17 of the 20 hostages released last month; ex-captives thank US president, urge him to continue pressuring Hamas to return the remaining three bodies held in Strip

US President Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
hosted a delegation at the White House on Thursday of nearly all the hostages freed through as part of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
ceasefire deal he brokered last month.

"You’re not a hostage anymore... today you’re heroes," Trump told the former hostages and their families in a brief portion of his prepared remarks that were filmed and released by the White House.

The Israeli delegation was made up of 26 former hostages, including 17 of the 20 living captives who were released in the deal that took force in October.

Among those 17 was Matan Angrest, who Trump singled out for praise.

"Because of his service in the IDF, Matan was subjected to severe beatings, even at times losing consciousness. Alone and under special guard, he went through hell," Trump said in another short video posted by the Hostages Families Forum.

"Matan never broke, and today he’s a living testimony to the toughness, heart, and faith of the Jewish people. I’m telling you, you’re a great inspiration to everybody," Trump added.

Addressing all of the hostages, Trump said, "It’s an honor to get to know all of you. I know some of you already. I know some of the previous hostages that we got out very well. We love you all, and our country loves you all... you’re amazing people."

Trump also handed each member of the delegation a special presidential coin.

A number of the former hostages brought gifts for the US president to express their gratitude. Twin brothers Gali and Ziv Berman brought a mezuzah that had survived the fire that Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
-led snuffies had set in their Kfar Aza home during the October 7, 2023, attack that started the Gaza war.

The twins recovered the mezuzah last week during their first visit back to Kfar Aza since they were freed on October 13.

In interviews ahead of the White House visit, the former hostages said they were planning to use the opportunity to thank Trump for securing their release, while urging him to continue pressuring Hamas to free the remaining three bodies of deceased hostages still held in Gaza.

Thursday’s reception marked the third time that Trump has hosted delegations of hostages whose release he helped secure in two separate deals this year, the first of which was sealed in January when he was president-elect.

Trump campaigned on securing the release of the hostages and ending the war in Gaza. The January 2025 deal fell apart after its six-week first phase, leading to another eight months of war before the October ceasefire.

The Israeli delegation arrived in the US on Tuesday and was hosted on Wednesday by a bipartisan group of congressional politicians on Capitol Hill.

"To our great hostages who now carry a weight, a story and experience that you never asked for... We will be your friends for life. We will be your advocates for life. We will continue to wear our pins, and we will continue to tell your story," Democratic Representative Haley Stevens said during the meeting, according to a readout from the Israeli embassy.

"Today we were able to bring both sides of the House, Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
and Republicans, together into one room," said Danny Miran, the father of recently released hostage Omri Miran, who was also part of the delegation. "This is an opportunity to thank you, American Jewry, and all those who took the trouble and labored and made efforts to bring these wonderful children home. In less than a month, we will be celebrating Hanukkah — the Festival of Lights — thank you very much for all these lights you have lit for us." # id) ?>
