You're awesome, thank you. The

The Welcome to TYT. I'm your host Anna Kasparian, and it's been a hectic day. It's been a crazy day. I was producing up until like literally the last possible minute. So I can get you guys the important stories of the day.

I can't wait to get to this Argentina bailout story, which has led to this big conflict

between the Trump administration and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.

That'll be later on in the hour.

and whose remains were released, that individual's remains do not actually match up with the hostage that Hamas claims the remains

belong to. So there are issues when it comes to the deceased hostages for a number of different

reasons, including the fact that just like the Palestinian victims in the Gaza Strip, some

of the Israeli hostages tragically are believed to be trapped

under the rubble. So Israel can help with that situation by allowing heavy machinery into the

enclave. It remains to be seen whether or not they are willing to do that. But let's move forward

to what Bezalel-Smotritch has to say say because he claims that after all the living hostages

were returned, well after they were all returned, this is what he said.
