What emotional stories of released Israeli hostages are highlighted at the beginning?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. One of the most consequential moments in history unfolding this morning in the Middle East. The long nightmare for the families of the Israeli hostages is over. All 20 of the survivors released hours ago into the arms of their loved ones. And I cannot get enough of the videos. They're incredible. All right, we're going to go through a few of them. Among those released, 25-year-old Matan Zengauker. He was kidnapped from his home on October 7th. His final text to his mother that day was, Mom, I love you. Someone is here. Last week, when his mother found out he would be released, she said the moment she was looking forward to the most was when her son's eyes could sink into her own.
Today, she got that moment. Watch.
My life! My life! My life! My life! My life! My life! My life! My life! My life! My life!
My life!
It's amazing. In each one of these, they're holding on to them like they might never see them again. I mean, they're holding on to their sons exactly the way that you would hold on to your son. I mean, exactly the way you would hold on to your son if you hadn't seen him in two years and he were in the hands of a terrorist group in some cave. You can feel... The relief and the joy and the gratitude, the gratitude, it's like oozing out of the screen. And it's just one of the reasons why it's so emotional to watch these. Also among the released, 24-year-old Evie Atlete. Aviatar, Aviatar, I'm sorry. They're tough names, but I'm trying. Aviatar David. Aviatar was kidnapped from the Nova Festival in southern Israel.
This is a photo of him before he was taken hostage. In August, Hamas released video of him showing him looking emaciated. This is him. This is Aviatar right here. Look, it's terrible. For the listening audience, he looks like a Holocaust victim. So skinny, skin and bones. in an underground tunnel, showing him just looking awful, and his face looks forlorn, and digging in a cramped underground tunnel. When his family was shown the video, his father said he did not even recognize that this was his son. And this was a Vietar today. He blew kisses to the crowd of onlookers as he arrived to a hospital in Israel. He still looks thin, but he was smiling, and he was waving, and his life has been saved. Wow. Another hostage released was shown in one of the most widely shared videos of the October 7th attack.
Avinatan Orr was at the Supernova Music Festival with his girlfriend, Noah Argamanid. When Hamas terrorists attacked the music festival, they spent hours hiding in a ditch, But they were discovered by the terrorists. And Noah was seen being driven off toward Gaza on a motorbike. Everyone has seen this video. Here it is.
She's reaching for him.
She looks terrified. She's got the long, dark, curly hair. You can see just nothing but distress on her face as she reaches for him. She cries, don't kill me, while reaching for Avinatan. They were both taken. The reports were that he actually had a chance to escape. Prior to this, but wouldn't go because he wasn't going to leave her. Not exactly sure how it went down, but he apparently had the chance to spare his own life and leave her behind, and he wouldn't. Eventually, they were both taken, but Noah was freed after an Israeli military operation earlier in these past two years. His mother once said about finding out that he was a hostage, quote, it's like lightning striking, but from all directions at once.
Then all the light inside of you disappears and the darkness means no thoughts, no emotions, no air, just nothing. Today he's free. In the first images of his release, he is shown pumping his fist. And then later he was reunited with Noah. Oh my gosh, they're hugging. They fall on this bed that's in the back. They're holding on so tightly. They won't let go. He's kissing her. There's not an inch between them. Now he's giving her a real kiss, touching her face. Hopefully they can get past this nightmare and we'll have a long and happy life together with lots of kids.
