Damari’s injury turned her hand into a “rock on” emoji and the sign for “I love you” in American Sign Language.

Before she was released from Gaza last week, Emily Damari asked her captors for a favor: to let her neighbor Keith Siegel go free instead. That’s according to a report in Israeli media on Friday, five days after Damari was released and on the eve of a second expected release of Israeli hostages from Gaza.

The report also revealed that Emily was held with Keith before her release and provided fresh evidence that he has survived the ordeal.

This is not just an administrative failure; it is a moral abdication. The Emily Damari Provision for Consular Assistance, fronted by We Believe In Israel, the leading UK-based advocacy group, proposes a seismic shift in how Britain approaches its duty to its citizens abroad.

After scoring the goal, Peretz raised all his fingers but keeping his middle and ring fingers down, a hand gesture which has garnered traction as a symbol to celebrate Damari's release.

Freed British hostage Emily Damari has said she is the “happiest person in the world ” after she was released by Hamas as part of a ceasefire agreement with Israel. The 28-year-old was captured during the terror group’s surprise attack on October 7, 2023 and her family has described the battle for her release as “ongoing torture”.
