Israel received during the night (between Sunday and Monday) the list of hostages expected to be released today from the captivity of Hamas in the Gaza Strip as part of the fourth pulse. This was reported according to Egyptian sources. However, the families of the abductees have not yet been notified of the return of their loved ones.
The Prime Minister's Office informs on behalf of the person in charge of kidnapped and missing persons that "discussions are underway on a list that was received during the night and is currently being checked in Israel. We will add information when possible."
Yesterday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement in which he congratulated the release of the hostages from the captivity of the terrorist organization Hamas, and signaled yes to the proposal to continue the cease-fire beyond the four days that were agreed upon, in exchange for the release of 10 abductees on each day of the ceasefire.
"We brought back another group of captives tonight - children and women, and we are moved to the bottom of our hearts, the entire nation when we see this reunification of the families. It just shakes the soul. I just spoke with President Biden with great excitement," Netanyahu said, "of course also about the little girl, Abigail. What a joy to see her with us. In addition to that, I want to say - there is also an outline that says you can release ten more every additional day. It's a blessed thing."
However, Netanyahu clarified that "In the same breath, I also told the president that at the end of the outline we return with all our strength to realize our goals: the elimination of Hamas, to ensure that Gaza does not return to what it was, and of course the release of all our hostages. After I was in Gaza today and met our soldiers, the soldiers These brave-hearted heroes, reservists, and regulars, with fire in their eyes, I am convinced that we will succeed in this mission - because we have no other choice."
