'Imminent agreement' for hostages held in Gaza to include a 3-day ceasefire

Almost Heaven

The War Cabinet unanimously approved a joint recommendation of the IDF and the Shin Bet, which would comply with the U.S. request for the entry of two diesel tankers a day for the needs of the UN to support water and sewer infrastructure.

"This action is intended, among other things, to minimally support water, sewage and sanitation systems, in order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics that could spread throughout the entire area," the Israeli political source explained.

At the same time, Egyptian authorities were preparing 10 trucks carrying 150,000 liters of fuel for entry into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, according to Sky News Arabic.

According to the Sky News report, the fuel would be used for UNRWA trucks, humanitarian needs and to power the generators of Gaza’s communications company.

An official briefed on negotiations told Reuters on Wednesday that Hamas had agreed to a “general outline” to release 50 civilian hostages, who were abducted from Israel on October 7, but Israel were still negotiating on the conditions.

The Reuters report also revealed some of the conditions as a three-day ceasefire and the release of an undisclosed amount of Palestinian women and youth detained by Israel, as well as an increase of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

In addition, the terrorist organization Hamas would hand over a complete list of living civilian hostages held in Gaza. On Wednesday, an Israeli official told Channel 12 that the mediators know that Israel demands a more significant deal.

This follows intense negotiations in Qatar, coordinated by the United States, with many regional parties involved, including countries whose citizens were abducted.
