In a late Wednesday statement, Israel’s national security adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, announced a delay in the release of hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza. The initial truce, scheduled for a 10 a.m. local time start on Thursday, is now set to commence “not before Friday.”
The decision to postpone the release appears to be linked to the ongoing negotiations between the warring parties. Hanegbi did not provide a specific reason for the delay but emphasized that the release would follow the original agreement. Talks on the broader deal are still in progress.
As part of the previously announced agreement, Israel had planned a four-day pause in its attacks on Gaza. The timing for the commencement of this temporary truce remains uncertain, pending further developments in the negotiations.
The situation underscores the complexity of the diplomatic efforts to reach a resolution in the region. The delay in the hostage release and the continuation of talks indicate that both parties are engaged in delicate negotiations, navigating through intricate details to solidify the terms of the agreement.
The international community watches closely as these developments unfold, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and the release of hostages held by Hamas. The path to a lasting truce remains uncertain, with the timeline contingent on the progress of negotiations between Israel and the militant group.
