A détente between Israel and Hamas entered its sixth day on Wednesday after more Palestinian prisoners were exchanged, with another pushing for a "potential" ceasefire.After a 48-hour extension of an implied four-day ceasefire, another batch of 12 prisoners was freed from Gaza on Tuesday, with 30 Palestinians delivered by Israel.
Another prisoner-for-prisoner trade is expected after the last 24 hours on Wednesday of the drawn-out understanding, but Qatar has said it expects a more robust plan."Our main focus at the moment and our expectation is to reach a practical détente that will prompt further exchanges and ultimately end this conflict," Majed Al Ansari, an unidentified service representative, told a Doha news agency. assembly"Nonetheless, we are working with what we have. Also, what we currently have is an understanding that allows us to extend the days even though Hamas can guarantee the arrival of less than 10 prisoners."The arrangement allowed a two-day extension that saw 10 Israeli prisoners released from Gaza on a short-term basis Tuesday, as well as the release of two Thai hostages.
An AFP columnist saw masked and outfitted fighters from Hamas and Islamic Jihad handing over prisoners to Red Cross authorities in Rafah, near the line with Egypt.The freed Israeli prisoners were all women, including 17-year-old Mia Leimberg, who returned to Israel with her mother and aunt.All three were taken completely from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, and the young man was seen holding his dog Bella after her delivery.There aren't many direct records of the long haul of conditions faced by prisoners, yet the grandmother of 12-year-old Etan Yahlomi, who gave birth Monday, said the child was held in isolation for 16 days.
"The days when he was away from everyone else were terrible," Ester Yali told Israeli news site Walla. "Now Eitan looks exceptionally moved."- 'The High Gamble of Starvation' -To this point, 60 Israeli prisoners have been freed from Gaza under the terms of the arrangement, while one Russian-Israeli, 20 Thais and one Filipino have been freed outside of the arrangement.As a result, 180 Palestinian prisoners -- all women and minors -- were delivered.Among them was 14-year-old Ahmed Salaima who returned to his home in East Jerusalem to cheers and hugs from family members."When Ahmed was in jail, we couldn't see him, even though he was the youngest Palestinian prisoner at only 14 years old," said his father Nayef.The cease-fire agreement brought a brief end to fighting sparked by an October 7 attack by Hamas, which killed 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, according to Israeli authorities.
According to Hamas authorities, Israel's ethereal and ground crusade in Gaza has killed about 15,000 people and distributed a terrifying large part of the north of the region.The World Food Program warned on Tuesday that the people of Gaza "face the high stakes of starvation that WFP cannot proceed with access to food."The situation in the area is "devastating," the office's Center East chief said, while a representative of the U.N. children's agency UNICEF said aid entering Gaza under the cease-fire agreement "is not enough even for an emergency."The dire auxiliaries situation has seriously created tensions for a permanent delay or even an end to the war, but Israel has made clear that it considers it a brief pause to guarantee the release of prisoners before its conflict moves forward.The head of the CIA and the overseer of Israel's Mossad spy agency were in Doha to examine the ceasefire with Qatar's head of state, a source briefed on their visit said, requesting anonymity in view of the repercussions of the talks.The talks "extend to progress in understanding the long humanitarian delay and point to starting further conversations about the next period of an expected arrangement," the source added.
- 'We are tired' -
On Tuesday, Hamas and Israel exchanged accusations of violations of the détente, but Qatar's Ansari said the "trivial break" "did not hurt the substance of the system."Israel's partners have cautioned against a complete end to military operations aimed at wiping out Hamas, yet clerics estranged from the Gathering of Seven have encouraged a more drawn-out détente."We support the further extension of this leave and the ability to increase aid on a stop-by-case basis in the future and to work with all inmate arrivals," they said. said in an explanation on Tuesday.Washington has similarly warned Israel that any new hostilities in southern Gaza "should be done as they were ... not intended to further remove critical points," said a senior US official.
Gaza is home to an estimated 1.7 million Palestinians large part of the region's population has been driven from their homes up to this point."I believe this détente will prompt a complete ceasefire, as we are tired of resting outside in the rain, losing our friends and family and fleeing," said Umme Mohammed, who watched the attack from her home in northern Gaza.A cease-fire in Gaza has not ended brutality in the West Bank, where two Palestinian teenagers were killed in clashes with Israeli troops on Tuesday, the Palestinian Welfare Service said.More than 230 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fighters or pilgrims in the West Bank since the October 7 attack.
