Towards the Fourth Beat: the Prime Minister's Office Seeks to Avoid Spreading False Information

The Prime Minister's Office asked the public (Monday), in preparation for the fourth round as part of the kidnapping deal, to refrain from spreading rumors and unreliable information.

It was also reported that the negotiations regarding the list of those who will be freed as part of the plan for the release of the hostages are ongoing. According to them, we are aware of the stress the families are under, and we will add information when it becomes possible.

In the last few hours, lists of names of abductees who are supposed to be released have been distributed - a list that is obviously not verified and includes 2 mothers and 9 children. On the other hand, in a parallel list that is distributed, there are 2 elderly women instead of mothers. This is probably the basis of the dispute between Israel and Hamas.

Yesterday the hostages were released without any problems, but the other day, the second release was delayed for many hours due to claims by Hamas that Israel is not complying with the details of the agreement and does not allow the entry of trucks into the northern Gaza Strip.

As part of the agreement with Hamas, more hostages are to be released today, last night 13 Israelis were released from Hamas captivity, including women and children, including 4-year-old Abigail Idan, who has American citizenship. Earlier yesterday, Roni Kariboy, who also holds Russian citizenship, was released, his release was made possible after Russian President Vladimir Putin intervened in the issue.

Last night, in a special speech delivered by US President Joe Biden, he pledged that he would do everything to free the hostages and that Hamas would not control any part of Gaza in the future.
