Key takeaways:
- Two hostages were released by Hamas for “compelling humanitarian” reasons.
- Donald Trump filed a series of motions in the Jan. 6 case against him.
- Seven people died in a tragic accident on a Louisiana highway.
Last night, two hostages were released by Hamas for “compelling humanitarian” reasons, according to a statement released by the militant group’s military wing. The two hostages, Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz, were welcomed home by their loved ones, who had been desperate for their return.
However, the release of the two hostages is bittersweet, as there are still over 200 people held captive by Hamas. Daniel Lifshitz, the grandson of Yocheved Lifshitz, expressed his joy at the news of his grandmother’s release, saying “I believed this moment would come.”
The release of the two hostages comes as Donald Trump filed a series of motions in the Jan. 6 case against him, launching a broad legal challenge to the indictment that accuses him of conspiring to subvert the 2020 election. The motions can be divided into two categories: semi-plausible legal arguments and over-the-top playing to the crowd.
Meanwhile, a tragic accident on a Louisiana highway has left seven people dead after 150 vehicles crashed. House Republicans are also narrowing down the eight remaining speaker candidates to choose a nominee.
Nurit Cooper, one of the recently released hostages, has described her experience in captivity, saying that she was treated well and that she was grateful for the support of her family and friends.
