이•하마스 휴전합의 24일 이후 이행 G20 화상회의 논의 “지속가능 휴전 돼야“ The hostage release following the recent Israel-Hamas truce deal has been pushed back until Friday. The two sides seem to be finetuning the details. Our Moon Hye-ryeon has more. The planned release of fifty hostages from the Israel-Hamas conflict in exchange for a four-day pause in fighting and the release of prisoners has been pushed back a day. According to CNN, a senior U.S. official stated that the hostage deal has been delayed until Friday morning in order to iron out the details and to “minimize things going wrong.” Israel was said to have made this decision together with Qatar and Egypt as mediators. While the current working list of ten hostages likely to be released from Gaza on the first day only contains information regarding their gender, nationality, and age, U.S. officials have said that they expect the names to be released by Thursday night. Solely women and children, they'll be released in batches of around ten per day. The first two days are to be a “testing period“ to make sure that both sides are keeping to the agreement, and then further hostage negotiations are expected to take place. So far, what’s known about the process is that the hostages will be guided by the Red Cross and taken to a designated border point – mostly through Egypt. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Red Cross would be able to visit the remaining hostages in the enclave to give them needed medication. In exchange, Israel has agreed to a temporary four-day ceasefire in Gaza and free Palestinian prisoners in Israel with the exception of people it said are “murderers.” With this latest development, world leaders are calling on both parties to hold up their side of the deal and are hopeful that this could be the start of positive developments. The Prime Minister of Qatar shared on his social media his hopes for “serious talks for a comprehensive and just peace process.“ Humanitarian aid from overseas is also expected to pour in during this crucial period. The President of the European Commission said that the EU will do its “utmost“ to provide a “humanitarian surge.“ Moon Hye-ryeon, Arirang News. #Israel #Gaza #Hamas #Hostage #Pause #이스라엘 #가자_지구 #인질_석방 #휴전 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2023-11-23, 18:00 (KST)
