The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has emphasized the need for enhanced security measures in future hostage releases in Gaza. This statement comes after the release of seven captives on Thursday, which drew criticism from the Israeli prime minister for the conditions under which the hostages were escorted.
Footage from the release showed two Israeli hostages and five Thai hostages being led through a large crowd by armed militants in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. An eighth captive was released separately earlier in the same day.
