Hamas to release 3 hostages as planned, Israel yet to react
The New Indian Express Kannur
|February 14, 2025
HAMAS said on Thursday it would release three more Israeli hostages as planned, paving the way toward resolving a major dispute over the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
-
Hamas said its delegation held talks in Cairo with Egyptian officials and was in contact with Qatar's prime minister about bringing into Gaza more shelters, medical supplies, fuel and heavy equipment for clearing rubble—its key demand in recent days. It said in a statement that the mediators had pledged to "remove all hurdles."
There was no immediate comment from Israel on Hamas' announcement, but it should allow the ceasefire to continue for now, though the future of the truce remains in doubt.
