The Israeli-Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) will begin an exchange of detainees on the 13th, according to Israeli media, with the release of detainees starting at 8 p.m. on the 13th.
A spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said on the 12th that the release of detainees will begin on the 13th local time, and it is expected that all 20 living Israeli detainees will be released. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement on the same day saying that Israel is ready to receive all Israeli detainees at any time.
According to a report by the Israel Times on the 12th, the Israel Defense Forces said they were ready to accept Israeli detainees and would remain on alert throughout the night in case Hamas decided to release the detainees at night. Reports said that the detainees are expected to be released in Gaza City, central Gaza Strip and Khan Younis, and Hamas will hand over the detainees to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who will then hand over to the Israel Defense Forces.
Hamas: No agreement has been reached on the list of Palestinians to be released
Regarding the release of Palestinian detainees, Hamas sources said on the 12th that the indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel have entered the final stage. The focus of the negotiations is on the list of Palestinian detainees to be released, and there are differences between the two sides.
Hamas insists on the release of Marwan Barghouti, leader of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah), while Israel opposes and prefers the release of women, minors, etc. The good offices are continuing to work to overcome the final obstacles. Another Hamas source told AFP that Hamas has completed all preparations to release Israeli detainees and return the remains of some deceased people.
Hamas said the final list of Palestinians to be released has not yet been received, and negotiations are still ongoing and Hamas will not allow Israel to escape its responsibilities under the agreement.
