The release of the last hostages kidnapped by Hamas almost three weeks ago is about to be realized, with an announcement expected in the next few hours. About twenty people remain alive in the Gaza Strip and will be handed over at three different locations, under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross, which will transfer them to areas controlled by Israel. Moreover, the militias plan to return 28 bodies of deceased hostages. This action follows the dynamic of a ceasefire agreement that was preceded by intense negotiations.
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has confirmed that his country is ready to receive the hostages immediately. The Vice President of the United States., JD Vance, agreed that the release could take place "at any time." According to reports, the process could begin between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m., although the schedule is subject to change. Meanwhile, the families of the hostages anxiously wait in Hostages' Square in Tel Aviv, a symbol of hope for the imminent return of their loved ones.
