Israeli Hostage Negotiator On Gaza Ceasefire To Exchange Israel-Hamas Prisoners

Описание: Rishi Sunak has said the temporary truce in the Israel-Hamas conflict is “critical” as he called for the safe return of all hostages.

The long-anticipated four-day pause in fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas began early on Friday, with the militants pledging to free 50 of the around 240 hostages held in Gaza in return for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel.

The Prime Minister thanked Qatar and Egypt for their “intensive diplomacy” in helping to secure the deal, which is also expected to see more aid enter Gaza.

If it continues, it would be the first significant halt in the conflict that erupted after Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel on October 7.

Speaking on Talk Today is Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin who says a Hamas hostage swap is "quite significant" in achieving Israel's aims.

"There's an open ended possibility of returning hostages after the pause, it's the first day Israelis can smile since October 7."
