Hamas-US Prisoner Deal Sparks Tensions, Gaza Air Strikes Kill 17

Hamas-US talks on captive release create rift with Israel; Gaza air strikes kill 17. The release of Edan Alexander, a US-Israeli captive, is at the center of ongoing negotiations between Hamas and the United States. However, Israel's denial of any ceasefire agreement signals a potential breakdown in relations with Washington. Adding to the complexity, recent Israeli air strikes in northern Gaza have resulted in the deaths of 17 Palestinians, primarily women and children. Einav Zangauker, mother of Israeli captive Matan Zangauker, emotionally condemned Israeli leaders for failing to secure her son's release, stating, "I won't let you kill my son." The situation is further aggravated by Israel's blockade of food, water, and medicine into Gaza, pushing Palestinians to the brink of famine. Ori Goldberg, an Israeli political commentator, noted that the Hamas-US talks represent a significant setback for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The video concludes with footage of the devastation in Gaza and the desperate efforts of Palestinians to rescue the injured.
