AP News · Israeli hostage freed after 491 days asks: Where was the United Nations, the Red Cross, the world?By Edith M. Lederer

I've been a advocate for #Israel because of my personal experience as a #hostage in a negotiation.

This is my train stop.

There is no future for #Hamas and the future for Israel has gone dark.
"The US and Israel have rejected an #Arab plan for the post-war reconstruction of the #Gaza Strip that would allow the 2.1 million #Palestinians living there to stay in place."

trigger warning: bibas family

Curious about this, and, embarrassingly, this is as close to a general population as I can get. Please boost for reach.

With that said:
Have you heard of the Bibas family and what happened to them (before I asked this question)?
