More than 53,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Huge areas of Gaza have been destroyed and around 90% of its population displaced.Omer Shem Tov, center, an Israeli hostage who survived over 500 days in Hamas captivity, celebrates while being welcomed during his arrival at Logan Airport, Thursday, May 15, 2025, in Boston.

(AP Photo/Charles Krupa)Shem Tov believes he is doing “something important” but said it “can be hard.” His return to normal life has not been without challenges. He still freezes when he hears the sound of a jet plane, and is wracked with guilt that things he now enjoys are beyond the reach of the remaining hostages.“I get greeted in the street. People stop me and want selfies and stuff like this,” he said. “I support it and I will speak to anyone, anyone, anyone ... because everyone wants to give out love.”

Still, little things like “going and grabbing a bite to eat, I feel it here,” Shem Tov said, clutching his throat. “It’s choking me that I know what they are going through. Maybe they don’t have food.”“I remember taking the first bite of anything, it was heavenly,” he said. “I’m showering and I have guilt that they don’t take a shower.”

Shem Tov, who was attending the Tribe of Nova music festival in southern Israel the day of the attack, described trying to flee with friends Maya and Itay Regev in a car driven by Ori Danino, a stranger who took them in. Militants shot at the car, forced them out and dragged them into Gaza. The Regev siblings were released in a November 2023 ceasefire; Danino was later killed.

“I remember the festival itself, the freedom and happiness and us as youth having fun,” Shem Tov said.“The judiciary has a lot of scores to settle in this country,” said Georgina De la Fuente, election specialist with the Mexican consulting firm Strategia Electoral.

But critics say the ruling party is simply politicizing the courts at an opportune moment, when Sheinbaum is highly popular.Judicial candidates are not allowed to announce their party affiliation and are unable to accept party funds or hold major campaign events. A number of former Morena government officials and allies, however, have posted lists on social media of which ones to elect.
