Report: ceasefire would begin with release of 3 hostages, start of withdrawal of IDF troops from populated areas
|
[IsraelTimes] The hostage-ceasefire deal could begin with the release of three hostages held by Hamas, following which the IDF will begin withdrawing from populated areas in Gaza, the BBC reports.
The report, citing a Palestinian official, says that after one week, Hamas will release another four hostages and Israel will begin allowing the return of displaced Gazans from the south to the north.
The report says they will be allowed to travel up the coastal road on foot only.
Cars, animal-drawn carts, and trucks will be allowed to cross through a passage adjacent to Salah al-Din Road, monitored by an X-ray machine operated by a Qatari-Egyptian technical security team, the report says.
The report also says that Israel will release 1,000 Palestinian security prisoners, including approximately 190 who have been serving sentences of 15 years or more.
The report says Hamas would free 34 hostages in the first phase. Israeli officials put the number at 33.
The Times of Israel has more here. But what odds, dear Reader, that Hamas blows the whole thing up before even the first hostage is returned? How much higher odds that it doesn’t last a week? A month?
’It won’t happen. Period’: Israeli official says Sinwar’s body won’t be returned as part of hostage deal
[IsraelTimes] Israeli diplomatic reporters are sent a statement to be attributed to an “Israeli official” asserting that Jerusalem will not return slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s body as part of a hostage deal.
“It will not happen. Period,” the statement reads.
Earlier today, the Saudi outlet Al-Hadath published an unconfirmed report that Hamas is demanding the body of Sinwar in the first stage of the hostage deal
Fallen soldiers’ families protest hostage deal in Jerusalem
[IsraelTimes] A right-wing group of families of fallen soldiers and hostages block the entrance of Jerusalem to protest the emerging hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas in Gaza.
Holding signs that read “You don’t have a mandate to surrender to Hamas,” the demonstrators urge the government not to sign a deal that will see Israel halt the fighting and free hundreds or even thousands of Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for hostages.
Others hold up pictures of their loved ones with the caption, “Their deaths command us to victory.”
Among those demonstrating are members of the hawkish Tikva forum, a group of hostage families who want Israel to use overwhelming force to bring down Hamas.
