Hamas has announced the planned release of four Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) female soldiers, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag, as a part of a ceasefire deal with Israel. This agreement stipulates the release of 33 hostages in Gaza and hundreds of Palestinians from Israeli detention. Israeli authorities have raised concerns regarding the legitimacy of Hamas’s hostage list, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has opted to move forward regardless. While the ceasefire allows for the release of civilian women first, some hostages remain in different captivity, complicating the situation further.
The Hamas militant group confirmed that four Israeli Defense Forces observation troops, taken during the October 7 attacks, will be released as part of a ceasefire deal.
Israeli authorities expressed concerns that the list of hostages released by Hamas does not comply with the terms of the ceasefire agreement, though Netanyahu has agreed to proceed.
