The ceasefire negotiations lasted 5 weeks and were conducted through Qatar and Egypt. erstwhile it seemed that the talks would be broken, the U.S. president made a individual and effective intervention Joe Biden.
Finally, a four-day truce was agreed, although the judaic Minister of Defence Jo’aw Galant prefers to talk about a "short pause" in warfare. During the ceasefire, Hamas is to release 50 hostages, and Israel opens the gates of its prisons to 150 Palestinians frequently incarcerated without a court sentence.
Extension of peace
It is possible to extend the "short pause in battles" to 10 days, as well as Hamas' release to 100 hostages in exchange for 300 Palestinian prisoners.
The truce began on Friday 24 November at 7 a.m. local time. Later there was only occasional exchange of fire. Under the agreement reached, hundreds of trucks with medicines, fuel, food and another aid could enter the Gaza Strip from Egypt.
Some people have regained their freedom
That day, the Hamas first released 10 hostages from Thailand and 1 from the citizenship of the Philippines. This happened in accordance with a separate agreement Hamas negotiated with the Bangkok authorities through Iran. After 16 o'clock freedom was regained by 13 Israeli hostages—nine women, including 85-year-old Yaff Adar, and 4 children. According to the message of the Polish Ministry of abroad Affairs, the first group of freed hostages included a Polish citizen. They were given into the hands of the Red Cross, transported to Egypt, examined in the local infirmary and dedicated to the Israeli authorities. Efrat Baron Har Lev, the manager of the Israeli hospital, who placed 8 of the hostages, reported that their physical wellness was mostly good.
A fewer hours later, 39 Palestinian prisoners, 24 women, and 15 youths were brought from Israeli prisons in heavy guarded buses. They came from the West Bank of Jordan and East Jerusalem; they now regained their freedom. The Israeli authorities warned Palestinians not to celebrate their release. safety forces attempted to disperse the crowds with rubber bullets and teardrop gas. Released prisoners heard that if any celebrations were held, they would be arrested again.
Start of process
President Joe Biden stated that the release of hostages is “the beginning of the trial” and expects that in the following days freedom will be regained by dozens of others (7 October Hamas abducted about 240 Israelis). A brief truce allowed tormented Palestinians to breathe and food stalls were reopened. But there is no hope that the ceasefire will bring an end to the conflict. Minister Galant announced 2 months of intense warfare. Israeli forces do not let refugees to return to the northern part of the Gaza Strip. According to any information, Israeli soldiers opened fire on Palestinians attempting to return to their homes in the northern part of the enclave – they killed 2 people and injured eleven. The army of the judaic state, which has overrun most of the northern part of the enclave, is likely to launch an offensive in the south. There's no telling where civilians are going to escape. Israeli soldiers advise residents to take refuge in the “safe region of Al-Nawasi” by the sea itself. But how can 2 million people fit in there?
On October 7, about 1,200 Israelis died in Hamas' cruel attack. In Israel's retaliatory operation, nearly 15,000 Palestinians, including over 5,500 children, were killed according to credible Palestinian sources, and 36,000 were injured. Gaza, the largest Palestinian city, was destroyed.
