Emily Damari, Doron Steinbrecher, and Romi Gonen were forced by Hamas to participate in a staged ceremony where they received "gifts and souvenirs," from their captivity, Israeli media reported Sunday night. All three released hostages received a "gift bag," which included photos from the terrorists. Hamas gave the survivors "certificates of release," and made them pose and smile with them before the women were transferred to Red Cross custody. The representatives of the Red Cross that collected the three women signed the documents, as seen in the video. Inside the bag, each of the released hostages received a map of the Gaza Strip, photos of them during their time in captivity, and certificates. According to Israeli media, each certificate had an inscription with the "release decision," on it. The survivors called the tactic a "cynical game."
