Breathe a sigh of relief among the members of the Israeli Gaza Geiseln. Hamas has given the names of three more freely to be fully fully elevated. A controversial proposal had triggered concern about the ceasefire.

With an hour -long delay, Israel has received a list with the names of three other hostages, which are to be released from the violence of Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. According to the Hamas and the Forum of Relatives, this is three men: Eli Scharabi (52), Or Levy (34) and Ohad Ben Ami (56), who reports that German citizenship also has. In return, Israel is said to release 183 Palestinians. The Israeli government confirmed the preservation of the list of names from Hamas.

The release of a mother and her two small children in Israel, who are also said to have German citizenship, continues to be delayed. Family man Jarden Bibas, an Israeli with additional Argentine citizenship, has already been released. The fate of the three is uncertain; Hamas had announced a long time ago that they were killed in Israeli bombing. Unlike in other cases, Israel did not confirm her death.

With the transmission of the list of names, the Islamist terrorist organization signaled that she wanted to maintain the agreement via an ceasefire and the exchange of hostages for detained Palestinians despite the controversial plans of US President Donald Trump for a time relocation of the Palestinians from the Gaza strip.

Trump had announced during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington that the United States would “take over” the Gaza Strip and transform it into an economically flourishing “Riviera of the Middle East”. According to Trump’s will, the residents of the area are to be accommodated in other Arab countries in the region. The statement met with criticism internationally and especially among Palestinians.

According to the ceasefire agreement, the Hamas had to inform about the names of the freely tolerable hostages 24 hours in advance. According to Israeli media reports, this was expected almost three hours earlier than actually happened.

Accordingly, 79 hostages are still recorded in the Gaza Strip. However, 35 of them are probably no longer alive.

During the first six-week phase of the agreement between Israel and Hamas, 33 Gaza Geiseln are to be replaced by Palestinians detained for 1,904. So far, 13 Israeli hostages have been released in four release promotions. Hamas also left five Thai countries, which was not part of the agreement. In return, Israel left 583 Palestinians free.
