The United States, Israel and Hamas are close to an agreement on a 5-day pause in fighting in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of hostages, The Washington Post reports.
The article states that the release of the hostages could begin in the coming days. Hostages will be released in groups every 24 hours.
Moreover, the six-sheet agreement provides for the cessation of all military operations by the parties to the conflict for at least five days and the release of 50 or more hostages. Fulfillment of obligations under the agreement will be assessed using drones.
At the same time, Israeli and Arab media note that the truce “could deal a blow to the IDF’s reputation,” since the north of the Gaza Strip has still not been taken under full control.
Earlier it was reported that the United States was developing an operation plan to free the hostages in Gaza. Washington admits that hostage rescue operations are quite risky, and hopes that it will be possible to negotiate their release. However, the operation is already being worked on. It is reported that the participation of the American military and security forces is not a prerequisite, and the operation can be joint with foreign partners.
