. These are the first three Israeli hostages whose release by Hamas has already begun, according to Reuters. In exchange, Israel will hand over the first 95 Palestinian prisoners (32 for every woman released by the Palestinian militia), which represents the formalization of the first phase of the truce agreed between both.
Everything has remained up in the air until the last minute, since the ceasefire was scheduled to begin at 8:30 (local time), But Hamas’s delay in providing the list of names of the hostages who would be released has caused hours of uncertainty. Finally, at 11:15 in the morning the long-awaited arrival arrived.
For its part, Israel shared its list last Saturday, and at the same time that the three Israeli civilians have been delivered to members of the Red Cross, which in turn have taken them into the custody of the Israeli Army, the Netanyahu regime has delivered the first 95 Palestinian prisoners.
