A top aid to Egyptian President Diaa Rashwan announces that Cairo and Doha are very close to securing a two-day extension to the ongoing truce between Israel and Hamas.
The truce extension would see 10 Israeli hostages and 30 Palestinian prisoners released both tomorrow and Wednesday, Diaa Rashwan says, adding that 11 Israeli hostages will also be released later today.
Report: Israel still ‘cautiously optimistic’ fourth group of hostages will be released later today
Amid an apparent delay in the release of the fourth group of hostages due to what Israel says is Hamas’s effort to violate the deal by releasing children without their mothers, an Israeli official tells the Walla news site that he is “cautiously optimistic” the crisis will be solved.
4th hostage release held up, as Hamas seeking to again separate mothers from children — official
One of the main issues dragging out talks over the release of the fourth batch of Israeli hostages later today is that the list of names Hamas said it plans to release would separate several children from their mothers, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
Israel says the truce with Hamas bars the terror group from separating mothers from their children — something that it has already done once earlier in the temporary ceasefire.
In joint live chat on X, Elon Musk agrees with Netanyahu that Hamas must be destroyed
Elon Musk says during a live chat on X (formerly Twitter) with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there is “no choice” other than to destroy the Hamas terror group in order to bring about a better future for Gaza, and agrees with Netanyahu that the terror organization has genocidal intentions toward the Jewish people.
US billionaire Musk, the owner of X and head of SpaceX, says though that he would like to help rebuild Gaza after the current war, and asserts that rehabilitating the territory is an important step to preventing future war.
“If you want security, peace and a better life for Gazans, then you need to destroy Hamas. You first have to get rid of the poisonous regime as was done in Germany and Japan,” says Netanyahu, to which Musk responds: “There’s no choice.”
Musk also remarks that civilian casualties are “unavoidable” and that Israel is trying to avoid them in its war against Hamas.
