A new list of hostages Hamas is expected to release today has been received by the Israeli prime minister’s office. The media reported on this and said the government had already taken action and informed the families of the people who would be released today.
Last night, after a day of tension, the impasse that threatened to undermine the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after less than 24 hours was broken. Thirteen Israeli hostages were released and handed over to the Red Cross along with four Thai citizens after relatives waited uncertainly and anxiously for hours. Immediately after they crossed the Rafah border crossing and entered Egypt, they were taken over by special forces and security forces of the Israeli army and taken into Israeli territory. At the same time, Israel released 39 Palestinian prisoners

Hamas had delayed the release on the grounds that “Israel has not implemented the elements of the agreement.” An accusation completely denied by Israel, which had threatened to “resume fighting from midnight this evening if the hostages were not released.” The stop to the deal came from the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, which objected to the failure to “comply with the agreement on the entry of humanitarian trucks into the northern Gaza Strip and the failure to meet the agreed standards for the release of prisoners.” . According to the findings, Hamas’s objection related to the names and chronological order in which Israel planned to release Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli political sources quoted by the media responded that “there was no violation of the agreements. Just as Hamas decides at each stage who to release from its hostage list, we decide which Palestinian security detainees will be released in exchange.” According to security sources, “up to 61 of the 200 trucks carrying humanitarian aid that passed by today, including fuel and Gas tanker brought to the northern Gaza Strip.” Hamas responded that “340 trucks have entered the Gaza Strip since last Friday, of which 65 have reached the north of the Gaza Strip. This is less than half of what Israel agreed to.” According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, today “humanitarian aid was successfully delivered to the city of Gaza and the northern governorate of Gaza in the largest convoy since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip.”

Indirect communication channels between the parties were immediately initiated to resolve the standoff. Qatar – whose officials arrived in Israel by plane – has made every effort to bring about mediation “as quickly as possible”. And Egypt also announced that it had made “intensive efforts” to complete the second tranche of the exchange of Palestinian hostages and detainees. US President Joe Biden also did his part in talks with Qatar to overcome the stalemate. Earlier in the day, before everything shut down, the scenario and signals had seemed even better than expected. Egyptian sources said further negotiations were underway to extend the ceasefire, which was in effect until Monday, by one or more days. And they received “positive signals” from both sides. The effort is to promote the widest possible exchange of hostages and prisoners until, as mentioned from the first moment, 100 released hostages (out of 230 held in Gaza) for 300 Palestinian prisoners are achieved, while the current agreement provides for 50 for 150 . Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who entered the Israeli-controlled part of the Gaza Strip today, warned that the military would remain in Gaza until all hostages were returned and any future negotiations with Hamas would be conducted during the fighting. While the guns remain silent in Gaza, the West Bank, considered the “internal front of the war,” clashes with the Israeli army continue. Two Palestinians were killed south of Jenin, Wafa agency reported.
