I’ve been debating whether to share the names of the hostages set to be released tomorrow. I know many of you trust me to provide accurate and timely information, and I’ve received messages asking why I haven’t posted the names yet. Here’s why: out of respect for the families who have endured unimaginable trauma for over a year, I’ve chosen to wait until Israeli officials confirm they’ve been notified. This is an unprecedented situation, with trauma experts carefully planning every step to ensure the families receive this news in the most compassionate way possible. It’s truly upsetting to see some people, even those I once respected, posting the names prematurely, ignoring the requests of professionals and refusing to take them down. Missing out on a few likes or engagement is hardly a sacrifice when you consider the pain these families have endured for so long. I hope this helps explain my decision, and I’m grateful for your understanding during such an emotional and sensitive moment.
