Israel and Hamas have declared a cease-fire, part of which is a detainee exchange agreement.
Israel and Hamas may continue the truce to free more hostages. Bloomberg wrote this on Sunday, November 26.
“The four-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which was brokered by Qatar and began on Friday November 24, assumes that the Palestinian militants will release 50 hostages in exchange for 150 held by Israel. -Israel also agreed to a ceasefire for each day. Hamas “will release 10 more prisoners. In total, 58 hostages and 117 Palestinian prisoners have been released. Hamas plans to release 11 more Israelis on Monday, November 27,” the publication reported.
It was noted that on the evening of November 26, Hamas issued a statement saying that it sought to “continue the ceasefire beyond the four-day period.”
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said the Israeli offensive would continue, but he hoped “we can bring home as many captives as possible before this happens.”
It was learned that the first group of 13 Israeli citizens, 10 Thai citizens and one Filipino citizen were released on Friday. Israel freed 39 Palestinians.
The second exchange took place on Saturday. Thirteen Israelis and four Thais were released. On Sunday, Hamas released 14 more Israelis and three Thai citizens. A Russian citizen was also released.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops in the northern Gaza Strip for the first time since the war began.
On Saturday, November 25, 9-year-old Emily, whose father believed she had been killed, was released from Hamas captivity.
