Starting from November 24 at 7am, the truce between Israel and Hamas will come into force, said Maged Al-Enissari, a spokesman for the Qatar Foreign Ministry. According to him, the first hostage group, 13 people, will be released at 16:00. In the dormitory press conference, he also hoped that humanitarian aid would start entering the Gaza Sector through the Rafah checkpoint with the beginning of the truce.
Qatar representative noted that for safety reasons, the details of hostage release could not be discussed, but confirmed the participation of the Red Cross in this operation. He also predicted that Israel would release Palestinian prisoners after the liberation of Hamas hostages.
Al-Asari stressed that the lists and timing of the release were approved only on the first day of the truce, and the subsequent stages will be announced as they are fulfilled. According to preliminary agreements, a truce means termination of all hostilities. It is important to note that the expected ceasefire was last postponed on November 23. According to the agreement, Hamas seized at least 240 Israeli hostages on October 7. As part of the agreement, the mediation of Qatar, Egypt and the United States provides for the return of 50 Israeli citizens in exchange for a four -day pause in hostilities and the release of 150 Palestinians held in Israel.
