On Wednesday,

Senator Joni ⁤Ernst (D-Iowa)

and⁤

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.)

hosted the members⁢ of the Israeli Knesset on Capitol Hill.

The Iowa Democrat said lawmakers stand united across⁣ party lines‌ for the hostages to be released.

The speaker of Israel’s parliament,

Amir Ohana

, said the purpose of the press conference⁤ was to show the world ⁣and America “that we are united.”

“Our commitment is to bring ‍back all the hostages⁣ to their‍ families⁣ as soon as possible, and this is an effort that Israel doesn’t take alone,” he said. “We have America by our side, and we were successful⁤ to bring a deal before, ‌and we ⁣hope that such a deal will be possible once again.”

When⁤ speaking on Israel’s goals, Ohana argued ‍they cannot stop until Hamas is defeated.

He also ⁢said ​Israel represents the free world and that they will prevail.

“Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the shared militias, the⁤ Palestinian Islamic Jihad are merely proxy’s ⁤of​ Iran,” Ohana⁣ said. “If there is one thing I‌ would like⁢ you to take with you is that Iran, who funds and operates and created these monstrous terrorist organizations must not exit the war the way it entered.”

Families ‍of those​ taken by Hamas on ⁢October 7th also took the podium on Wednesday.

“It’s very, very difficult for us to think about⁤ our son, who rescued dozens of people from the Nova festival sitting there in the tunnels without food or water and with these animals of‌ Hamas,” said Ditza Mor, ⁣the father ⁤of hostage Eitan Mor.

“The last sentence of the American anthem is ‘the land of the free and home of the brave’, and Romi is the bravest person I know. 124 days in a tunnel and she must be free,” said Eitan Gonen, the father of hostage Romi Gonen.

February 7th marks four months since the estimated 136 remaining hostages have been held captive.

The press conference came after an internal Israeli military report reviewed by The New York Times estimated that at least one-fifth of the hostages in Gaza have been killed.

Intelligence officers concluded that at least 31 hostages have been murdered since the war began, ‍with at ‍least 20 more feared dead.

Both sides continue talks for a possible‌ ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister‍ Benjamin Netanyahu rejected more terms proposed by Hamas on Wednesday, calling them “bizarre” and “delusional.”

Past terms have included the release of ⁤over 1,000 prisoners, plans to rebuild infrastructure in ⁢Gaza, and recognition of an independent Palestinian Authority.

Netanyahu said if Hamas survives Gaza ⁣“it’s only a question of time until the next massacre” will occur.

‍ What measures can be taken to ensure a smooth ⁣flow of events occurring during a ‌PAA performance

To‍ ensure a smooth flow‌ of ‌events during a PAA (Performing Arts Academy) performance, ⁢the ⁢following ‌measures ​can be taken:

1. Proper Planning: ‍The key is to have a detailed and ‌well-thought-out ⁣plan ⁤in place. ⁣This includes setting clear objectives, establishing timelines, and ⁤assigning responsibilities to‍ different individuals involved in the performance.

2. ⁣Rehearsals: Regular and ⁤structured rehearsals ‍should be conducted ⁢to ensure that all performers⁢ and crew ⁣members are well-prepared and familiar with​ their roles and responsibilities. This helps in ironing⁤ out any inconsistencies⁢ or issues beforehand.

3. Communication: Effective communication is essential for a smooth flow⁢ of events.⁤ A designated point‌ of contact should be established to disseminate information, ⁤address queries, ⁤and provide updates⁢ to ⁣all parties involved.⁤ Regular meetings or briefings can help in maintaining clear communication ⁤channels.

4. Logistics ​and Technical Arrangements: Proper⁤ arrangements for stage props, ⁤lighting, sound systems, and other technical aspects ⁣should be⁢ made‍ in advance. Adequate time should be allocated for their setup and testing⁤ to avoid any last-minute glitches.

5. Backstage Management:⁣ A well-organized backstage area helps in the smooth transition of performers, props,‌ and costumes during the performance. ​Proper stations or designated areas should be​ set ⁣up for quick costume changes, makeup touch-ups, and ‌prop handling.

6. Crowd Management: If ​there is an audience present, measures should be⁣ taken to ‌manage the crowd. This includes proper seating arrangements, ushers ‍or volunteers to guide the audience, ⁣and clear signage indicating ​entrances, exits, and other relevant zones.

7. Contingency Plans: It is​ crucial ‍to‍ have contingency​ plans ‍in case of unforeseen circumstances such as technical failures, performer’s absence,⁣ or any‍ other emergencies. ⁢Alternative arrangements and⁤ backup ⁤options ‍should be ready⁣ to avoid ⁣disruptions in the flow ‍of events.

8. ‍Feedback and Evaluation: After the‍ performance, gathering feedback from both performers and ​audience members​ can help identify areas for ​improvement and ⁤make necessary adjustments for future⁤ events.

By implementing these measures, the‌ chances of a smooth flow of​ events during a PAA performance⁤ can‌ be significantly increased, leading ‍to a more enjoyable experience​ for performers and audience members alike.
