      Ok, so I got confused. These are in reference to two different child hostages, one named Emily (9), and another named Emilia (5).

      I assume that the signoff Danyal is an alternate translation of Danielle [Aloni], the mother, who was released with Emilia Aloni on Friday.

      Emily Hand was released on Saturday. Her father Thomas Hand wasn’t a hostage hence why he was able to say he was happy his 9 y/o daughter was dead. Now he is overjoyed that she’s been returned to Israel instead of shot on Oct 7, and she is ‘better than expected’.

      The Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar described Emily’s release as an “enormous joy and relief”, adding that “an innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned”.

      The Israeli foreign minister criticised these remarks, posting on social media: “Emily Hand was not “lost”, she was kidnapped by a terror organization worse than ISIS that murdered her stepmother”.

      Mr Varadkar defended his comments, saying: “The vast majority of people will know what I meant.”

      They can’t even let world leaders express happiness towards the safety of the hostages without condemning Hamas.
