The officials stated that “discussions continue over the release of several high-profile prisoners whom Hamas demands be freed, but Israel opposes,” according to Axios.
On Wednesday, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani announced the success of joint mediation efforts led by the US, Qatar, and Egypt in reaching an agreement between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange.
The ceasefire agreement is set to take effect on Jan. 19, with the exact start time to be determined later. The PM indicated that both parties would work tonight to finalize all executive procedures.
The agreement also includes a specific mechanism for the exchange of prisoners and hostages, the return of remains of the deceased, the return of displaced persons to their homes, and facilitating the departure of the sick and wounded for treatment.
Hamas will release 33 Israeli hostages in the first phase, including civilian women, soldiers, children, elderly, sick, and wounded civilians, in exchange for several Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention centers.
Details of the second and third phases will be agreed upon during the implementation of the first phase.
