Three-Year-Old American To Be Freed In Israel-Hamas Hostage Deal

A senior US official has said they expect at least three American citizens – including a three-year-old child – to be among the hostages released by Hamas in the coming days.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the official said the child, named Abigail, will turn four on Friday. They added that her parents had been killed in the 7 October attack by Hamas.

The official said the releases will take place over a period of four to five days.

However, mention has not been made of a 10-month old baby who was captured and held as a hostage by the Hamas fighters on October 7.

GWG.ng reports that in agreeing to the truce deal that will free the hostages, the Israel government issued a press statement reading thus:

“The government of Israel is obligated to return home all of the hostages.

“Tonight, the government has approved the outline of the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages – women and children – will be released over four days, during which a pause in the fighting will be held.

“The release of every additional 10 hostages will result in one additional day in the pause.

“The government of Israel, the IDF [Israeli military] and the security services will continue the war in order to return home all of the hostages, complete the elimination of Hamas and ensure that there will be no new threat to the State of Israel from Gaza.”
