The conflict between Israel and Gaza, marked by relentless fighting, seems to be on the verge of a significant development. The latest news reveals that the Israeli cabinet has approved a deal with Hamas for the release of dozens of prisoners from Gaza.
In a crucial meeting held on Tuesday night at 8 PM (Israeli local time), the Israeli cabinet gave the green light for a deal with Hamas, bringing hope for the release of numerous detainees from Gaza. This information comes from the AFP news agency. The Times of Israel had previously indicated that Hamas plans to release around 50 detainees, including women and children, within the next 4-5 days.
The Israeli government has expressed its commitment to the swift return of all detainees. The approved plan outlines the phased release of approximately 50 prisoners, mainly focusing on women and children, in the initial stage over the next four days. During this period, a ceasefire will be observed for one day for every ten detainees released. The Israeli government emphasizes that the return of all prisoners, the complete eradication of Hamas threats, and ensuring no new danger to Israel from Gaza will be the core objectives while keeping the conflict ongoing.
Israeli media reports highlight that the agreement primarily centers around female and child detainees, with negotiations on the release of foreign prisoners currently not on the table. The Prime Minister's office initially stated, "Developments on the issue of releasing our prisoners will be discussed at a series of meetings this evening: 6 PM with the Defense Minister, 7 PM with the Security Cabinet, and 8 PM with the government."
It is worth noting that on October 7, Hamas carried out an attack, leading to the capture of nearly 240 individuals in Israel. Among them were approximately 40 children, elderly individuals, and several Thai and Nepali citizens. According to Channel 12, a reputable Israeli news channel, the deal for the release of detainees includes the potential liberation of about 150 to 300 Palestinian prisoners, involving women and juvenile inmates.
Reports from Channel 12 suggest that the release of detainees could commence on Thursday or Friday. The ceasefire might be extended to allow for the release of more prisoners beyond the initial 50. Currently, a ceasefire is expected to remain in effect for four days, ensuring a pause in the ongoing conflict. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stressed the need for "difficult decisions" regarding the individuals detained by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
It is noteworthy that on November 19, The Washington Post reported a potential temporary ceasefire agreement between Israel, the United States, and Hamas, indicating a halt in the Israel-Gaza War for the next five days. However, shortly after this news surfaced, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied any formal agreement for a ceasefire in exchange for prisoner releases. The Washington Post's report had detailed a six-page deal, signed under which both parties would release 50 or more prisoners every 24 hours.
In conclusion, the situation seems to be evolving rapidly, with hopes pinned on the successful implementation of the agreement for the release of prisoners. As discussions unfold, the intricacies of the deal will likely come to light, shedding more clarity on the path towards a temporary pause in the conflict.
