I'm curious why these two hostages were released. I would expect that babies, and people who need medications, should be at the top of the request list.
My guess, and it’s purely a guess, it could be because they are related to Martin Fletcher, who is a long-time Tel Aviv correspondent for MSNBC.
He broke down on the air talking about them.
Still only a guess, but maybe in his career he had built relationships and has connections to some of the power players there?
Plus they are American citizens, so our government must be working behind the scenes.
Regardless, I am THRILLED that these two were released. Obviously there are hundreds more we need to have released safely.

US hostages released by Hamas are relatives of former NBC correspondent Martin Fletcher
The former Israel-based NBC correspondent first shared on the air that two members of his wife’s family are being held hostage by Hamas.
