The ceasefire, which temporarily suspended the brutal 15 -month war, is being gradually developed. Each stage includes the release of the Israeli hostage in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, increasing humanitarian assistance in Gaza. However, the process is facing Set when Hamas parade the hostage in front of the angry mob and include a terrible scene that is dangerous to secure. The handover, a mixed OTIC for the Red Cross, caused Israel's anger. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu temporarily stopped the release of Palestine prisoners, preventing further confusion in Hamas.
The current plan includes additional hostage releases in the coming weeks, and 33 POWs are expected to be released for six weeks. In return, Israel releases 2,000 Palestinian security prisoners, including 250-300 people who have been convicted of a fatal attack, and allows gaza to increase humanitarian support. Whether Hamas is completely obeyed is uncertain, and it is dangerous for vulnerable ceasefire.
