Description

Two years of grief and anger in Israel turned into euphoria today with the release of 20 living hostages who survived kidnapping on Oct. 7, 2023, and captivity in Gaza since then. Israelis greeted US President Donald Trump as a hero who secured the hostages' release, while they booed their own Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not acting sooner. Reporter Noga Tarnopolsky spent the day in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, and breaks down the day's events to Host Carolyn Beeler.
