Biden confirms deal to free hostages held by Hamas is near
President Biden Optimistic About Deal to Free Hostages in Gaza
President Joe Biden expressed his belief on Monday that a breakthrough is imminent in the negotiations to secure the release of hostages held by the Hamas militant group in Gaza. Speaking at the White House’s annual turkey-pardoning event, Biden confirmed that discussions with Israeli officials are underway.
When asked if the United States is close to securing the release of the hostages, Biden responded confidently, “Yes.” Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Herzog, also expressed hope that a significant number of hostages could be freed in the near future.
Details of the Potential Deal
The exact number of hostages to be released and the duration of the truce are still unknown. However, reports suggest that Qatari mediators are playing a crucial role in negotiating the deal between Hamas and Israel. According to Reuters, the proposed agreement involves the release of around 50 hostages from Gaza in exchange for a three-day pause in the conflict. Additionally, Palestinian women and children would be freed from Israeli jails, and humanitarian aid would be provided to the Gaza Strip.
Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani emphasized that the discussions leading to a deal are centered around “very minor” logistical matters.
Clarification on the Progress
While initial reports from The Washington Post indicated a “tentative U.S.-brokered deal” and a five-day pause in fighting, the White House clarified that a deal had not yet been reached. The National Security Council spokeswoman, Adrienne Watson, stated that although progress is being made, a final agreement is still being worked on.
Israeli officials have reported that 240 hostages were taken by Hamas during their attack on Israel on October 7th, resulting in the loss of over 1,200 lives.
