Israeli Government and Hamas , Strike Hostage Deal.
The Israel-Hamas war will see a four-day cease-fire
in which 50 hostages who are being held in
Gaza will be released, NBC News reports.
Three Americans, including a
3-year-old girl, are expected to be among
the first round of hostages released.
.
The Red Cross will also be granted access
to remaining hostages in Gaza.
In exchange, Israel will free 150 jailed Palestinians and allow hundreds of aid trucks to enter Gaza.
.
The Israeli government referred to the
deal as an opportunity to "consolidate the
will of our victorious resistance.".
The agreement also includes an option to
extend the cease-fire if 10 hostages are
released each day, according to an Israeli official.
.
The start time of the cease-fire
has yet to be announced.
President Joe Biden, who took part in the
negotiations, was happy to see a positive result from
an "extremely excruciating five-week process.".
Today’s deal is a testament to the tireless
diplomacy and determination of many
dedicated individuals across the United States
government to bring Americans home, U.S. President Joe Biden, via statement.
However, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that the
deal does not mean the war is over.
We are at war, and we will continue the war
until we achieve all our goals — to eliminate
Hamas, to return all our hostages and missing
persons and to guarantee that there will be
no factor in Gaza that threatens Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, via statement
Hamas released a distressing video featuring hostage Nadav Popplewell, a British national abducted during the October 7 attack. The captive, visibly under duress with a black eye, delivers a chilling message suggesting time is running out. This release follows a prior video showing two other hostages alive. The videos intensify pressure on the Israeli government to secure the captives' release amidst ongoing negotiations between the two sides.

The leader of Hamas's political wing in Gaza and one of Israel's most wanted men, Yahya Sinwar, is not in Rafah, two officials said as Israel moved ahead with its ground offensive in Gaza's southernmost city. Two officials, citing intelligence inputs, told The Times of Israel that the Hamas leader was hiding in underground tunnels in the Khan Younis area, around five miles north of Rafah. Another official from Israel said Sinwar was still in Gaza. In March, it was reported that close relatives of Yahya Sinwar crossed over to Egypt through the Rafah crossing. Several other top Hamas leaders have also managed to move their relatives and family out of Gaza into safe zones in Egypt. Israel has called Yahya Sinwar the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023, raid into southern Israel, in which about 1,200 people were killed, and more than 200 others kidnapped.
