After 737 days of anguish, the last Israeli hostages are finally home.
In our hearts, we stood alongside the thousands gathered in Hostages Square, united in hope and prayer as we awaited this moment.
They are now free. We salute their courage, endurance and dignity.

The end of two very long years of unimaginable suffering for the surviving Israeli hostages and their families. A necessary war, waged in response to a pointless onslaught, also over. May the families of the dead also begin to rebuild their lives.
Today we celebrate freedom and resilience, but we also renew our commitment to truth, justice and the fight against antisemitism.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Warm wishes,
British Friends of Israel.

On one side were twenty innocent men. On the other, about 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners. Those convicted prisoners, many guilty of murder and terrorism, were tried and sentenced in a democratic state.
This false equivalence is unacceptable.
The BBC’s Chief Political Correspondent, Henry Zeffman, referred to a “hostage exchange” — a phrase that grotesquely distorts the truth.
We did not anticipate the scale of antisemitism and anti-Zionism here in Britain — the ‘Israelophobia’ as Jake Wallis Simons has termed it.
Even today, of all days, bias seeps into mainstream reporting.
Today marks a turning point — a moment to rejoice and hope. Yet the struggle is not over.
When we founded British Friends of Israel, we pledged to stand against antisemitism, to call out terrorism and to stand with Israel and the Jewish people in Britain and around the world.
We also honour the brave IDF soldiers who gave their lives or were injured fighting terrorism on multiple fronts, and we grieve for the innocent civilians who have suffered in both Israel and Gaza.
At the same time, we mourn the hostages who did not return alive — those who perished in brutal captivity under the cruelty of Hamas. May they rest in peace and may their memories be a blessing.
After 737 days of anguish, the last Israeli hostages are finally home.
In our hearts, we stood alongside the thousands gathered in Hostages Square, united in hope and prayer as we awaited this moment.
They are now free. We salute their courage, endurance and dignity.
Today is a day to rejoice.
