Survivors of attacks and families of victims in Israel are grappling with the emotional cost of a new ceasefire deal that will see the release of hostages held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, including those convicted of deadly attacks. For some, like Tal Hartuv, whose attacker is set to be freed, the joy of hostages returning home is mixed with anger, betrayal, and fear of future violence. Others, like Yossi Zur and Ron Kehrmann, who lost children in past bombings, reflect on the painful history of prisoner exchanges and their consequences, including the rise of militant leaders. While many Israelis celebrate the return of hostages, survivors and bereaved families emphasize the deep personal price paid and call for recognition of their suffering and concerns about security. The debate highlights the complex emotions and difficult choices faced by a society seeking both justice and the safe return of its citizens.
