Hamas released six Israeli hostages on Saturday, including Omer Shem Tov, whose unexpected action on stage left many in shock. As he was freed, Shem Tov was seen kissing one of the captors, a moment that quickly gained attention.
Speaking about the incident, Shem Tov later clarified that the gesture was not voluntary. “I was forced to do it,” she explained. According to a report, her father also confirmed that she had been instructed whom to kiss and was under pressure to comply. Video footage reportedly shows someone directing her on what to do before the moment took place. She shared these details in a conversation with Kan TV.
Omer Shem Tov’s release came more than a year after Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in nearly 1,200 deaths and the kidnapping of around 250 people. Shem Tov was among those abducted while attending the Nova Music Festival in Israel’s Negev Desert.
