00:00A 36-year-old Argentine was released by Hamas.
00:04His image, first exhibited by the terrorists,
00:08and then his arrival in Israel, the emotional hug with his family.
00:13Only three were delivered in the last hours.
00:16One of them was born here in Argentina, in the neighborhood of Villacrespu.
00:20That's right, we're talking about this 46-year-old Argentine
00:23who went to live in Israel in 2000,
00:26after being here in Argentina, traveling with his brother.
00:29Let's remember, as you said, Guille,
00:31his brother is still in captivity.
00:34He was kidnapped there in October,
00:37on October 7, 2023, in one of the kibbutz.
00:40He is still in captivity.
00:43This man, who had health problems of 46 years,
00:45was finally released.
00:47We are talking about a release, the sixth,
00:50in a framework where the first phase of a ceasefire agreement
00:54between the pro-Iranian terrorist group
00:57and, on the other hand, the Israeli government.
01:00Yonis Tolarsa is the best friend of this 46-year-old man, released.
01:05Of course, the anguish was very prolonged.
01:09It was almost 500 days.
01:11This story for the family is not over yet,
01:14because his brother, as you just noted, is a hostage.
01:17But I suppose, Yoni, that they are hours of joy
01:20in the framework of this anguish.
01:22Thank you for attending us.
01:24No, please.
01:26It's like you said, it's joy mixed with the sadness
01:31that his brother is still kidnapped.
01:35Tell us, where did you meet?
01:37Where does this friendship come from?
01:39What is that close bond?
01:42We have known each other since we were very young.
01:45We shared in youth groups,
01:49what was the informal part of the school.
01:52We went to the same school, the same age,
01:55all different grades.
01:57We shared part of that youth group.
02:00We were coordinators.
02:02Then we became coordinators,
02:04kind of kindergarten teachers of that group.
02:07And, well, since five, six, seven years,
02:11we have been very, very friends.
02:14In fact, the last time I was in Israel
02:18was a few months before October 7.
02:22And what did you think when you found out
02:25that you were on the list of kidnappers by Hamas,
02:28considering that at that time absolutely everything was uncertain?
02:32In fact, no one could guarantee
02:34that those people who had been taken as hostages
02:37were going to survive.
02:39What were those days like?
02:41And then you found out that he was alive.
02:43And, well, these negotiations that seemed endless.
02:46We are talking about a year and a half.
02:49That he was kidnapped,
02:52we did not officially know two or three hours later,
02:56because once he does not respond,
02:58nor the messages or anything,
03:00which usually responds almost instantly
03:03when something happens or something,
03:05he returns to the side of the strip,
03:07next to the border.
03:09And then he confirmed to us that he was not at home.
03:12Obviously, we already knew that something had happened.
03:15And then to know that he was alive was many months later.
03:21We just knew that he was not.
03:25Anxiety must be difficult.
03:27It never happened to me, obviously.
03:29And I think that not many people in the world
03:31must have gone through this experience.
03:33But there must not be a worse one, right?
03:35Of knowing how it is happening
03:37once you know that he is alive, for example.
03:40First, you can fear for his life,
03:42but once you know that his life is in danger,
03:44you do not know how it is happening to him.
03:46What are they doing to him?
03:48What could be happening to him?
03:50You never know what is the worst.
03:53Always what happens to one is the worst.
03:55And the other...
03:57Each one with his own world.
03:59Obviously, what was happening to him
04:01was not only bad,
04:03and by common sense you do not realize
04:05that what was happening to them was bad.
04:07And you realize with the results,
04:09how people return, how they were returning the kidnapped,
04:11you realize that they did not have a good time.
04:14The uncertainty of knowing
04:17what they were living on the other side of the border,
04:20with the war above,
04:22because they were in the tunnels,
04:24is what makes you anxious
04:26not to know what the other has.
04:28Go to sleep or bathe.
04:30Simply, here one does it often,
04:34it generates that,
04:36and the other is bathing,
04:38he is sleeping, he is eating.
04:40It is a year and a half of thinking
04:42what one does, what the other is doing.
04:45Did you share that anguish with your family?
04:47Did you normally talk to them?
04:51With their family, yes.
04:53I am in full contact with my family too.
04:59Unfortunately, I can only talk to one of the brothers,
05:02who is the one who is here, who is Amos,
05:04and with the mother.
05:07And we share it among ourselves,
05:09our friends who are here.
05:11We are very close,
05:13in fact, on Friday night
05:15the four of us get together
05:17to see him live,
05:19as if it were the end of the world.
05:22Did you talk? Did you already talk?
05:25We talked to the family,
05:27he still has not come into contact
05:30with technology,
05:32with the rest of society,
05:34but we know a lot of things,
05:36and luckily he is very well.
05:38What do you know? How did it happen?
05:41It didn't go well,
05:43I can't tell you much,
05:45but it clearly didn't go very well.
05:48What expectations do you have for your brother?
05:51Obviously, for the family,
05:53it is the big question,
05:55and surely for the loved ones.
05:57I include you too.
05:59Yes, when we have more data,
06:01I hope it comes out,
06:03you don't know when,
06:07the first stage of the negotiation
06:09ends on the next Saturday,
06:11when I think the 14
06:13who are missing from the initial list
06:15are released,
06:17and from there the negotiation
06:19begins on the second stage
06:21and the release of the hostages
06:23who are kidnapped.
06:25It depends on that negotiation, basically.
06:27If it is known, it is alive,
06:29it is not on the list of the people
06:31who are alive.
06:33There is nothing official
06:35about who is alive and who is not,
06:37this year there is a psychological war
06:39against everyone,
06:41and it has informed and misinformed the world
06:43about all its acts and names
06:45and lists and statistics,
06:47so nothing that comes out
06:49from the other side of the border
06:51can be taken as true until it is seen.
06:53Johnny, we thank you very much
06:55for this communication and we send you a big hug.
06:59Well, thank you very much.
