Six hostages will be released and the inhabitants of Gaza will be allowed to go to the north

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas will release six hostages this week and that Israel will allow the residents of Gaza to return to their homes in the north as of Monday.

Among the hostages is Erbil Jews, a civilian who was the focus of the dispute that delayed Israel’s return of the residents of Gaza to the north of Gaza.

Hamas released four soldiers on Saturday, but not Mrs. Jews. Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire agreement, according to which Israeli civilians will be released first in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Since the ceasefire agreement entered into force, seven hostages and more than 200 prisoners have been released.

Thousands of Palestinian displaced people who are trying to reach northern Gaza gathered at the military barrier, which hindered their progress for two days.

The ceasefire agreement and the release of hostages and prisoners entered into force on January 19. Two exchanges have been completed.

In the third stage, Hamas will release Jews and two other heening on Friday, followed by three others on Saturday, according to Netanyahu and Qatar, which was mediated in the talks.

Israel will start allowing the Palestinians to move north on Monday, in addition to the release of more Palestinian prisoners later in the week.

According to the conditions of the ceasefire agreement, the Palestinians were to be allowed to travel north of the Natsarim Corridor, a seven -kilometer -long strip of land controlled by Israel and separating the north of Gaza from the rest of the Gaza Strip, on Saturday. .

The pictures show huge crowds awaiting traffic.

The Qatari intermediaries and the Egyptians who facilitated the talks between Israel and Hamas participated in efforts to resolve the dispute over Mrs. Jews. The Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman announced the penetration moments before the Israeli Prime Minister.

Israel asked the mediators evidence of Hamas that Mrs. Jews are alive. It appears that it was delivered to the Egyptians early Saturday evening, the BBC learned.

The ceasefire agreement was suspended in January, the war that started when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. About 1,200 people were killed and 251 were returned to Gaza as hostages.

The Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza says more than 4,200 Palestinians, the majority of whom were civilians, were killed in the Israeli attack.
