#Netanyahu will now be under domestic pressure to get the rest of the #hostages freed but faces growing political risks. Several far-right parties that are part of the ruling coalition on Tuesday evening opposed the proposed deal and called for the Israeli offensive in #Gaza to be intensified to secure better terms. Their statements prompted protests in Tel Aviv by hostages families.

Israel and Hamas agree deal for release of some hostages and four-day ceasefire

Fifty Israeli hostages held in Gaza will be freed over four days in exchange for the release of 150 Palestinian prisoners and a lull in Israeli military operations

The Guardian

Israeli and #US officials initially insisted that all women and children come out in the first part of the release. #Hamas would only guarantee 50 and refused to produce identifying information about the #hostages. The fact that there was no identifying information about the hostages became a major sticking point later.

Around 40 minutes into the truce it’s difficult to say whether it’s holding. The Israeli military (#IDF) said sirens warning of potential incoming rockets had sounded in two Israeli communities near #Gaza but there was no immediate confirmation that attacks had occurred or of any damage or casualties.

@Norobiik What is supposed to happen after the four days though? If Israel is just going to resume blowing stuff up, what's in it for Hamas? There is a secret part of this agreement. I wonder what Israel is giving them?
