Hostages Set for Release: A Mix of Hope and Fear in Israel


The anticipated release of three high-profile male hostages has ignited a wave of excitement and anxiety across Israel. Yarden Bibas, Keith Siegel, and Ofer Kalderon, who have become household names since their abduction, are expected to be freed on Saturday.
