Today is the second day of the Gaza ceasefire, during which Hamas and Israel are likely to release more hostages, while aid supplies from around the world started reaching the oppressed Palestinians.
According to the details, Hamas released 25 Israeli hostages during the cease-fire yesterday, while according to the ceasefire agreement, Israel is obliged to release three oppressed Palestinians for one prisoner.
Hamas, engaged in the struggle for the liberation of Palestine, handed over 25 people detained during the attack on Israel on October 7 to the Red Cross on Friday. This has been confirmed by two Hamas sources to the French news agency AFP.
Sources further said that these prisoners have been handed over to the Red Cross which handed them over to the Egyptian authorities through the Rafah border. T
Among the hostages released by Hamas are 13 citizens of Israel and 12 citizens of Thailand. On the other hand, Israel released 11 Palestinian hostages. After the cease-fire, aid trucks started arriving in Gaza from all over the world.
Around 137 trucks containing relief goods reached Gaza from Rafah crossing. 3 trucks of fuel and gas were also delivered to Gaza. It should be noted that many hospitals in Gaza have been closed due to Israel’s barbaric bombardment.
US President Joe Biden says that the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas is a beginning. Apart from the hostages who have been released, more prisoners will also be released, while the ceasefire period is also possible.
President Joe Biden said that during the Gaza war, 2 American women and 1 child were missing, which is still unknown. The exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel was made possible by American diplomacy.
It should be noted that the ceasefire resolution was vetoed in the United Nations by the United States, which took credit in the name of diplomacy for the ceasefire agreement. America and Western countries are openly supporting Israel in the Israel-Hamas war.
While vetoing the resolution presented in the Security Council, the United States took the position that the right of defense of Israel is not mentioned in the resolution, while the right of defense is also mentioned in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
It should be noted that as a result of Israel’s brutal bombing of Gaza, more than 15,000 Palestinians were martyred, including thousands of women and children. During the bombing, hospitals, schools and mosques were deliberately targeted.
