I’m a televised speech this evening Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured Israelis that the Gaza ceasefire is temporary.
What will happen tomorrow?
At 08:30 the temporary ceasefire will come into effect, and the IDF will begin a gradual withdrawal from populated areas in the Gaza Strip.
The release of the three hostages will not begin before 4 pm. Hamas has not yet submitted the list of names to be released, thus committing the first violation of the agreement.
On the 7th day, 4 more hostages will be released, including three female soldiers.
On the 14th day, 3 hostages.
On the 21st day, 3 hostages.
On the 28th day, 3 hostages.
On the 35th day, 3 hostages.
On the 42nd day, 12 + 2 hostages.
During this time, all fighting in the Gaza Strip should theoretically cease, and Hamas will use this opportunity to recuperate and reassert control.
