Hamas to release 20 Israeli hostages alive in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners
In turn, Hamas release in the next 72 hours nearly 20 hostages who are alive, while the Israeli Army will advance with the partial withdrawal of its forces from Palestinian territory, according to the agreed terms. Additionally, during the negotiations the Palestinian group presented the mediators with a list of the 2,000 prisoners it seeks to release as part of this first phase.
For the moment, the agreement contemplates a first phase and leaves aside central points of Trump’s peace plan for future instances that are still a cause of conflict, such as the Gaza government.
Trump highlighted the collaboration of the mediating countries and expressed his optimism about the historic impact of the measure: “This is a GREAT day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all neighboring nations, and the United States. We thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye, who worked to make this historic and unprecedented event a reality. BLESSED ARE THE BUILDERS OF PEACE!”
