Hamas releases video Israeli hostage as U.S., international pressure to release captives intensifies

Hamas is beginning to release videos of hostages that they kidnapped from Israel as part of a brutal attack on the country launched last week, when 199 people were taken captive and more than 1,300 were killed.

Women and children including infants and toddlers are believed to be among those Hamas took as hostages into the Gaza Strip during its attack on Oct. 7.

A new video released Monday shows a young woman lying in a bed and receiving medical treatment. Her arm is being wrapped after what appears to be a recent surgery to stabilize what could be a broken bone.

Lots of people in both parties in the US remember what happened to Jimmy Carter because of hostages being in enemy control. Anything short of releasing them, and soon, is not going to end well for Hamas or anyone in Gaza.

Iran knows they got rid of Jimmy Carter, just like they wont to get rid of Joe Biden. A GOP leader will feed Israel, which means more bodies, and less focus on the fact that Tehran is les popular at home.
