Black coffins were placed on a stage by Hamas as the bodies of three of the most prominent Israeli hostages held in Gaza, the two Bibas children and their mother, were finally returned under the ceasefire deal.
The two red-headed children, Ariel, four, and Kfir, ten months old, and their mother, Shiri Bibas, 32, were held by Hamas since October 7, when they were snatched from their kibbutz home in southern Israel and their plight led to an outpouring of anger and grief.
The Telegraph:
The bodies of Shiri Bibas, her children Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz – pictures of whom were on the coffins – were handed over to a Red Cross convoy to be returned to Israel.
Behind the coffins on stage was a picture of Benjamin Netanyahu, with blood dripping from his mouth and text in English accusing him of killing the hostages.
The coffins on stage appeared to be props, as different coffins were seen being handed over to the Red Cross by masked Hamas fighters dressed in black.
Despicable. And the Red Cross are happy to play along with this obscene ceremony – the only time we see them and their lovely ambulances is in these grotesque Hamas parades.
Added:
Reports are saying that the Red Cross was shocked by Hamas’ ceremony today.
If this is true, it took 16 months, 7 despicable ceremonies, 19 starved living hostages, and 4 deceased hostages to finally shock the Red Cross.
Better late than never, I guess.
