Hamas will release 13 hostages in Israel on the third day of truce


The Israeli authorities are analyzing the list received

On the scheduled penultimate day of the Middle East truce, Israeli forces reported receiving a new list of hostages that the Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas is expected to release this Sunday (26).

The local press reported that the Israeli authorities are analyzing the list received, while Al Jazeera specified that another 13 people will be released. Israel, in turn, will have to fulfill its part of the agreement by releasing 39 detained Palestinians before the war even began.

The Israel Prison Service says the Palestinians will be transferred to Ofer prison, where they will undergo medical examinations by the Red Cross before being sent to the West Bank or East Jerusalem.

Qatari intermediaries, quoted by Israeli media, said the group of hostages Hamas hopes to free today includes nine children and four women.

To date, the official number of people arrested in the Gaza Strip is 195, but the Israelis estimate it to be more than 200.

After hours of tension, Hamas yesterday released 17 Israeli hostages (25) in exchange for 39 Palestinians who were imprisoned in Israel.

Pope – During the Angelus celebration, Pope Francis thanked God for the temporary truce in the conflict in the Middle East.

“Today we thank God that finally there was a truce between Israel and Palestine, so much so that some hostages were released. We pray that all will be released as soon as possible. Let us allow more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and insist on dialogue: it’s the only way to have peace.

Anyone who doesn’t want to talk doesn’t want peace”, declared the cleric.
