In the new war in the Middle East, there are negotiations for the release of around a dozen hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as well as a two to three day ceasefire. A source at the German Press Agency confirmed this on Thursday. It was said that the negotiations were taking place with the mediation of Qatar and in consultation with the US. This involves “the release of ten to 15 hostages in exchange for a humanitarian break of 48 to 72 hours in the fighting. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people have fled from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip.”
