After nearly 750 days, the last hostages held by Hamas have been freed from captivity, but the downside is that it's not without a price. Here's more:

As the fragile ceasefire in Gaza holds, Israel anticipates the release of all remaining Israeli hostages, including its final 20 living hostages, from Hamas captivity Monday morning, under the first phase of a historic U.S.-brokered peace plan spearheaded by President Donald Trump.

The initial batch of seven were handed over early this morning, and the full transfer expected by noon local time, marking an emotional culmination after more than two years of anguish since the October 7, 2023, terror attacks that claimed 1,200 Israeli lives and saw 251 people abducted as hostages. In exchange, Israel will free approximately 2,000 Palestinian terrorist prisoners, including 250 serving long sentences and 1,700 detained during the conflict.

This is obviously the sad part, no matter how relieving it is the last hostages were freed. And it only enforces the vital query of if the Israeli and USA governments are going to do everything possible to continue trying to get the Hamas out of Gaza, and in addition, it has to be made clear Israelis cannot be forbidden to walk upon the terrain of Gaza any longer. That's another something that must be dealt with in the future, recalling how there were pseudo-conservatives in the USA in the past 2 decades who were guilty of this dhimmitude defeatism that led to the situation, and that's something they must take accountability for.

Update: here's more on the occasion of the hostages thankfully being freed, as Donald Trump arrived to speak at the Knesset.
