NBC international correspondent Daniele Hamamdjian went all in on the anti-Israel propaganda as she covered the still-unfolding peace deal between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Hamamdjian claimed — during a segment that ran around 1:30 a.m. ET — that Palestinians were at least able to return to “their land,” land she said they had “fought for — for — for decades.” She also referred to Palestinian prisoners — some of whom she described as convicted murderers and violent criminals — as “hostages” held by Israel.

“October 31st, 2023, I remember distinctly, a UN official already describing Gaza as a graveyard for Palestinian children and here we are two years later, nearly 20,000 children dead and much needed aid,” she began, parroting the death toll promoted by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.
“They have nothing to go back to, but they have their land. And for Palestinians, boy, that is what they have fought for — for — for decades,” she continued, and she went on to describe the situation outside Ofer prison, where a number of Palestinian prisoners were set to be released as part of the peace deal brokered by President Donald Trump.

“As part of this hostages for prisoners exchange, we will see 2,000 Palestinians released from prison. Who are they? Let’s start with right here, 250 security prisoners, convicted murderers serving multiple life sentences,” she said. “Some of them will be sent to Gaza. Some of them will be deported to third countries. Some of them will go to East Jerusalem.”
“Now, we’ve seen family members of those hostages trickle in to the city of Bethania, which is where I am, and they don’t know how long it’s going to take,” she said, referring to the prisoners as “hostages.”
“In the past, it’s taken in some cases hours. And they were released in the middle of the night. In some cases, it’s happened quite quickly. So it might be a very long day here,” she explained before pivoting back to attack Israel for holding some of the prisoners.
“But over to Gaza, 1,700 Palestinians detained in Gaza will be released. They are in some cases minors, doctors, nurses, journalists who have never been charged. It’s really important for people to remember that they’ve been held under what’s called administrative detention. It’s a controversial practice that allows Israel to detain people for an indefinite period of time without charging them,” she said. “These people do not know why they have been detained and so, in the eyes of many Palestinians, you ask them, they consider those people held without charge also as hostages. And Palestinian officials will tell you that they believe Israel has been arresting them, arresting as many as they can to gather to amass as many bargaining chips as possible for these negotiations.”
