An Israeli government spokesperson, as relayed through Al Jazeera, has announced that Israel anticipates the simultaneous release of all remaining living hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The transfer is expected to take place early on Monday morning at dawn, marking a critical moment in the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.
The announcement comes as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed its adherence to the deal's terms by completing a withdrawal to the agreed-upon "Yellow Line" demarcation.
All Hostages at Once
The government spokesperson, speaking to the Qatari-based news outlet, stated: "We expect all hostages to be released soon. The release will take place with dawn on Monday, all at once."
This single-event transfer, rather than a phased release, is seen as an attempt to streamline the humanitarian aspect of the truce and minimize logistical delays.
The IDF’s withdrawal to the "Yellow Line", a security perimeter that respects the agreement's terms, signals Israel's continued commitment to the deal despite immediate reports of Hamas attempting to reassert internal control within Gaza.
