excitement, but we have not yet fully processed what has happened. i'm finding that is difficult to go from a state of endless anxiety about their fate to a state of relief and joy. i believe it will take time. >> also monday, 33 additional palestinian prisoners were released from israeli prisons as part of that agreement. last hour i spoke with tell hiring a spokesperson for the israeli president benjamin netanyahu asked about the conditions of the truce extension. >> israel received another list of hostages, ten hostages that potentially, hopefully we will see released tomorrow by hamas, but there are no guarantees here. you know we are dealing with a brutal terrorist organization, the terrorist organization that perpetrated the atrocities of the october 7th massacre. we and our and are making the preparations and we also have a list of potential palestinian prisoners that we have agreed to release is part of the outline. you stated corrector as cnn report, for every extra ten hostages that hamas would release, we would agree to another extra day of humanitarian pause in the fighting. we want to see more hostages coming out of the gaza strip, we want to see all of the hostages returning to their homes. keep in mind that the hostages, the 11th that return today and that one's the total over 50 overall that have been released over the course of the past four days, return to a very difficult reality. some of them have fathers, husbands who are still being held captive in the gaza strip or brothers and some of them lost loved ones. >> thanks to her, spokesperson for the israeli prime minister. the release of these hostages may be a moment of celebration, but there is still no end to a nightmare that began 52 days ago. on saturday, 13 year old hostage was released, her mother was not. and is still being held by hamas somewhere in gaza. despite demands from israeli officials. it's a move the idf said violated the terms of this temporary truce. her uncle, spoke to cnn's wolf blitzer. >> so let us walk through, when you reconnect with your niece. how did that feel? >> it feels great. first of all to see her with my own eyes to see that she is not hurt, to see that she communicates, that she is not hurt in any way. she can smile, she talks to me, she hugs me, i feel it is a thank you. she is a little bit distant, she's a little bit cold. she talks about things that happened like it is in the third person, like it happened to someone else. she says she saw horrible things but she saw says it with a straight face. it's like she's describing a scene from a movie that she watched somewhere. >> how were you informed that your niece has now been free? >> they just told us the names the night before that, so we knew my niece was going to be released and we knew that my sister is not on the list. >> this must be so sad for her knowing that her mother is still being held hostage. you've talked to her about this? >> yes i have talked to her about this, she doesn't cry, but she tells me everything in a really cold way. she told me, mother is here and they came and they took us. they didn't give us a lot of time to prepare but i had time to give her a hug. her mother was crying when the children left and that's how tinted. she is still there. >> dozens of palestinians have also been reunited with their families as part of this israel-hamas deal. on monday, israeli prison service says 33 palestinians were released. but as the report says the affordable short left as many recounting injustices they endured while in israeli custody. >> the moment a mother finally sees her daughter for the first time after eight years in a ray city prison. the anguish, the utter joy. >> she was part of the first wave of the prisoner hostages cranes between israel and hamas. >> it was painful because i was leaving the sisters i made inside prison and i feel like my freedom was paid for with the blood of the 14,000 gazans killed. >> then 16, she was charged with the attempted stabbing of an israeli. israeli authorities say no one was injured yet she was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to ten years. when her family appealed came down to nine. she served almost eight of those years, spending the remainder of her teenage years behind bars. her family maintains her innocence. her mother had dreams of the state for years to embrace her daughter, to share that joy with her community. she says this was denied. >> translator: the israeli authorities were with us from two pm. they surrounded the house and ripped down the declarations of any celebration. they stole the joy of my daughter's release. >> to be released doesn't mean you are fully free. israeli national security minister who is himself found guilty in 2007 before he was a minister of incitement to racism against arabs and supporting a terror organization. ben-gvir instructed israeli forces to use an iron fist, preventing palestinians from celebrating the was lease of their loved ones, saying the prisoners were terrorists. >> expressions of joy is a support for terrorism, expressions a victory gives strain to those same human scum, those not sees. the policy here is very, very, very clear, not to allow these expressions of joy and resolutely strive and stop any support for these not cease. >> another night, another scene of his really moving well wishes at the home of a palestine present or, taking a heavy-handed approach as ordered by their national security minister. >> in bethlehem, in the occupied west bank, they were able to defy him, celebrating the release of prisoners from the city. fatima left her home walking and returned seven months later with life-changing injuries. shot by israeli soldiers and accused of attempted murder. >> they accused me of stabbing, it's not true. they opened fire on the, i was hit in the spine with two bullets, two vertebrate were damaged. they replace them with titanium. i cannot feel my legs or stand up. i also removed five centimeters from my liver and one kidney. >> for months, fatima's family say they were denied access, even as her detention stretch time. >> it was forbidden for my relatives to visit me even the lawyers. i was not allowed to make any calls. >> israel said fatma tempted murder and yet she was only detained, not charged. she didn't go to trial, she wasn't given any opportunity to defend yourself and this is a story we keep hearing again and again from released prisoners, that they aren't given due process. and yet this crime exists alongside their names. >> the israeli prison service responded to these allegations saying, national security prisoners who are released from the israeli prison during the past two days were serving time for serious crimes, such as attempted murder, assault and throwing explosives. all prisoners in idf custody are held according to law. that's not true. cnn broke down new numbers in a list of 300 palestinian prisoners identified by israel as eligible for release. 80% are listed as just detained, which means they have not been formally sentenced him. as real operates two systems of law in the occupied territories, palestinians under the military, israelis under civil, creating a low bar for the arrest of increasing numbers of palestinians. and as as raley hard-liners and others it is far right government seek to characterize every palestinian as a terrorist, that number is rising every day. cnn, jerusalem. >> among the thousands of palestinians in gaza who have been wounded are hundreds of children have lost arms and legs. the doctor has him is a world mean a plastic surgeon who spent weeks treating patients in gaza and he said it times he was forced to operate on children and others without anesthesia and basic medical supplies. >> my estimate is that there are now between 700 and 900 children with amputations of limbs, some of whom multiple limbs have been amputated. >> doctor hiss with a british palestinian is now back in london as rejected israeli claims that hamas as a command center in gaza's biggest hospital. he describes al-shifa as a typical, barely functioning third world governmental hospital. we'll take a break here. when we come back, free college students taking a post thanksgiving day walk and vermont were all shot, and they were wearing traditional palestinian scarves. more that in a moment. also elon musk mending fences and making promises in israel. his visit comes after endorsing an antisemitic tweet and a major blow back from advertisers on x. welcome back 15 minutes past the hour. the truce between israel and hamas is now and it was 50 extended by least another 48 hours. that should be mean really some more hostages, must free nine children and two women on tuesday. they were thrown by helicopter in tel aviv. all have israeli citizenship, three french, two are german, six argentines. israel as released another 33 palestinians who are held in israeli prisons. all of those freed so far by the israelis are women and children. no men over 18 have been released. many were detained but not charged. and to american women remain captive in gaza and a senior biden administration official says the white house does not believe hamas as intentionally held back the release more details now from julie from the white house. a big disappointment for the white house that no american hostages were released from monday. the white house had said that three american citizens were believed to be among the initial 50 women and children hostages to be released by hamas during a four-day truce period. abigail dawn was one of them. she was of course released on sunday and then two additional american women, but day four of the truce coming and going without those two women being released. now, we can't say anything at this point about the condition of those women, their whereabouts, or if and when they may end up being released. but this is a part of the big reason why the white house has been pushing for this truce to be extended beyond those initial four days. the longer the truth, obviously means that more hostages can hopefully get out and what we are told is that senior white house officials on monday made a whole bunch of phone calls to the qatari prime minister to work on getting this truce extended. cia director bill burns we are told was also intimately involved and national security adviser, jake sullivan, was keeping the president apprized the entire time. so, we are about to learn probably in the next 48 hours or so, whether these two american women will end up being released as a part of the next group of 20 or so women and children hostages to be released over the course of two days. then after that, the question, of course, for this white house very much turns to the seven other unaccounted for americans. we know that they are men, according to the white house, but we, again, don't know anything about their condition as well. mj lee, cnn, the white house. >> they still have no motive in the shooting of three palestinian college students but hate crime charges are possible. all three were taken to hospital according to one source the alleged shooter has been charged with attempted murder and and help. isabelle details now from jason carroll from cnn. >> i believe the families fear that this was motivated by hate, these young men were targeted because they were arabs. >> one of the victims uncles sharing a families fear about what they say could've been a motive for the shooting in vermont and saturday. >> hard to imagine in this time with everything that is happening that it was just a random act. >> the three victims, he sham are a tony, touching elliott mud and l and meet our palestinian. all our 20 year old college students in the u.s.. lifelong friends visiting one man's family in burlington on holiday break. the three were out for a walk saturday night shortly before 6:30. two were winning palestinian scarves when they say a man suddenly stepped off a porch, walked toward them and opened fire. >> they were walking down the street essentially minding their own business and they were speaking in a mixture of english and arabic. >> aren't tani has the most serious injuries with a bullet lodged in his spine. ali ahmaud was shot in the chest, while abdel amit was hit in his glutes. >> shortly after the shooting, police swept the apartment building, where the victims saw the man step off the porch. but it was only after second canvas late sunday that they found a man they were looking for. >> the atf agents were greeted by a man who stepped out of the hall, out of the door towards them with his palms up and waste height and stated something to the effect out i have been waiting for you. >> my name is jason eaten. >> 48-year-old jayson eaton was rained monday of three counts of tough attempt second degree attempted murder. >> mr. eaton enters a a not guilty plea to allll three counts. >> they founund a semiautomamatc pistolol in his apartmenent, thy say it was purchased legally.. ththe same brand of ammunitionon recovered at the scene was also found in the apartment according to a police affidavit. in an interview with the daily beast, the 48-year-old mother described him as kind and loving and a very religious person, but also says he previously struggled with depression. >> i do not yet have evidence to support a hate crime enhancement. i do want to be clear that there is no question that this was a hateful act. >> that investigation including whether this is a hate crime is ongoing. >> two of the victims are u.s. citizens and one is a legal u.s. resident. they all went to school in the west bank. their families thought they thought would be safer for them to continue their education in the u.s.. >> i feel somehow betrayed in that decision here. we are just trying to come to terms with everything. >> jason carroll, cnn, new york. time for a short break when we come, back elon musk, free speech advocate and endorser of conspiracy theories and owner of x gets a personal tour of sites targeted by hamas by the israeli prime minister. we'll explain why in a moment. welcome back everyone, i'm john volleys you're watching cnn newsroom. elon musk who is in israel monday over controversial law at the sentimentalism on his social media platform. xe was given a personal tour by the israeli prime minister of a kibbutz on october 7th. he's trying to quell the average sparks earlier this month by endorsing a post on his poor platform acts. he said he will do whatever is necessary to stop eight on x. >> essentially these people have been fed propaganda since they were children. >> exactly. >> it's remarkable what humans are capable of if they are fed falsehoods. when their children, they will think that the murder of innocent people is a good thing. that is how much propaganda can affect people's minds. >> he's a family director for the center of study of hate and extremist. it's also professor emeritus at the university of san bernardino. >> thanks so much for having me. and by the way, viewers, john is not a lot of extensive work over the years in the holy land, so he's not just sitting on a chair reporting some of the hotspots including in the middle east. >> you give me great humility so thank you very much. thanks brian, it's always good to have you with us. i want to highlight part of what musk said part with that sit down with the israeli prime minister. this is -- on the attacks on civilians, meant when any children, it's remarkable of what humans are capable of if they're fed falsehoods. false elected tweet he endorsed that accused jewish community of pushing hatred against whites that they claim they want people to stop using against them. so here's the question. with musk would must even be in reserve at the backlash potentially could cost as much as $75 million in lost advertising revenue by the end of the year? has major dozens brands pause their marketing campaigns according to the new york times. so will he be there or not? >> politics make strange bedfellows doesn't it? i think it is noteworthy that both are running enterprises that have faced significant issues under their leadership. netanyahu's, he's down to 12% popularity? musk has seen disney, coca-cola, ibm, you name it fall from the advertising ranks. these are two individuals who are falling from their prior leadership post. and how convenient. but the fact of the matter is, there has been a significant amount of extremist content on acts, formerly twitter and as i have been pointing out before commission meetings personally out here in california, hate commission meetings, speaking for myself. the terrible decline of his platform that has not only costing tens of billions of dollars but has become a comfortable site for disinformation, misinformation and extremism. that having been said, they do have some computed he notes but let me tell you something, ax is among the worst of the major platforms with respect to this kind of bigotry that is frequently found on this platform. >> so with that in mind earlier this year there's one report that came out, that says twitter is not removed recent polls from verified subscribers which violate the platform's hateful policy. suppose from verified users who pay their eight bucks a month. so if mask was really serious this is all pre-october 7th, he's really serious about reigning hate speech in on x, formerly known as twitter, that be a good place to start? >> not only is it a good place to start, let's look at some of the things he has done. he's threatening research groups and advocacy groups including groups like the adl and others for either threats of lawsuits or lawsuits. the fact that he wants to do hanukkah selection along with the my pillow guy or netanyahu does not change the fact that his site has become a bit of a's gate. let me tell you one of the things okay. out here in california i supported a legislation that basically says one thing. what are your terms of service if you are a big platform and what have you done to enforce these terms of service? guess who suing the state of california over? that this comes up a little light for me and what i would like to see is greater actions with regards to extremism and bigotry on his website which again advertisers are fleeing. if you don't believe me, just follow the money as they say. >> bryant as they say actions speak louder than words. it's good to have you with us as always. thank you for your research and all the do brian. good to see you. >> likewise john, thank you. >> that will take us to a short break. when we come back cnn spoke to one ukrainian soldier who took footage while fighting russian forces on the eastern front. why he says it is so import
