Hostage families fear ‘Russian roulette’ offered by ceasefire talks | ITV News

For almost two years, the families of hostages held in Gaza have been desperately hoping that their loved ones will be released.

So one might imagine that growing rumours of a ceasefire and hostage exchange between Hamas and Israel would be welcome news.

But at an event in London calling for more international action to free those captured, the response from families is more trepidation than celebration.

The Israeli government believes that there are 20 living hostages still in Gaza, but sources indicate that only 10 would likely be released as part of any ceasefire agreement.
