19.01.2025 ⇢ Three Women Walk From Gaza
⌨
The morning began with Netanyahu delaying the ceasefire, demanding Hamas provide hostage names. After hours of strikes and negotiations, Hamas named three women for release: British-Israeli Emily Damari and two others. The ceasefire commenced by mid-morning.
The afternoon saw Red Cross vehicles entering Gaza, followed by tense coverage of the hostage transfer. By early evening, images emerged of Damari reuniting with her mother, showing her bandaged hand from an October 7 injury - the first visual confirmation of her condition after 471 days.
In parallel, TikTok ceased US operations ahead of Trump's inauguration, though service was later restored following his intervention. London saw continued Palestine demonstrations, while European diplomats issued warnings about Trump's return to power, marking a shift in diplomatic discourse.
