Deal for Palestinian prisoners ‘doubly welcome’: Israeli Human Rights group
The Israeli Human Rights group HaMoked says the deal to release Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners is “doubly welcome”.
Among the 300 Palestinian prisoners to released during the truce agreement, 33 were women, and the rest were 14-18 year-old boys from East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
HaMoked said some are in administrative detention – detention without charge or trial.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society also said that 14 of the women were sentenced, four were detained without charges, and one minor from occupied East Jerusalem.

‘They kill without mercy’
We reported earlier on the Israeli attacks near the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
The latest images obtained by Al Jazeera show bodies lying across the courtyard of the facility in northern Gaza.
Parents can be seen gathering to identify the bodies of their children, as some stand crying and consoling each other.
“The occupation claims humanity, yet it kills children and women, without mercy and pity,” a person responsible for handling the bodies said. “They are tender with birds and cats, but not children.”
Israeli attacks have continued across the besieged enclave following the announcement of the truce deal, which is expected to take effect in the coming hours.

Families of Palestinian prisoners ‘cautiously optimistic’

Reporting from Nablus, occupied West Bank
At the Balata refugee camp, the most populated refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, eight names on the list of Palestinian prisoners who could be released are women from Nablus.
We’ve spoken to the families, some of whom are cautiously optimistic. It’s a mix of uncertainty and anticipation. We spoke to one woman who says she was looking forward to her daughter’s return and is preparing a welcome home dinner.
While all of this is rare good news, it comes amid the ongoing violence. Earlier this morning, in Tulkarem here in the occupied West Bank, six people were killed and four injured. We’re seeing more and more use of air strikes and drone attacks in these raids, which have intensified since October 7.

Far-right Israeli minister slams truce deal
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has slammed the truce agreement between Hamas and Israel, arguing that the pause in fighting sets a “dangerous precedent”.
While he says that there is an “advantage” to the deal with the return of captives, “we have no right and authority to agree to the idea of separating them and returning only a part”.
“Hamas wanted this time-out more than anything,” he said on X. “The outline is a dangerous precedent, which changes the equation and may bring more events.”
Ben-Gvir was among the Israeli ministers who voted against the truce deal last night. “This decision will cause us great harm for generations,” he was quoted as saying by Israeli media during the government meeting.

‘This is not war. This is terrorism’: Pope Francis
The Israel-Hamas conflict has gone beyond war to become “terrorism”, Pope Francis says, after the deaths of more than 14,100 Palestinians in Gaza and about 1,200 in Israel since October 7.
Speaking after separate meetings with Israeli relatives of captives held by Hamas and with Palestinians with families in Gaza, the pope said he heard directly how “both sides are suffering” in the conflict.
“This is what wars do. But here we have gone beyond wars. This is not war. This is terrorism,” he said.
He asked for prayers so that both sides would “not go ahead with passions, which in the end, kill everyone”.

International reaction to Israel-Hamas truce
As reactions to the deal keep coming in from all corners of the world, here’s a roundup:
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Beijing hopes the deal “will help alleviate the plight of the humanitarian crisis, promote the de-escalation of conflicts, and ease tensions”.

The Israeli army says its troops are continuing to operate in the Gaza Strip and, in the past day, directed aircraft to “strike terrorist infrastructure” that killed a “number of terrorists”.
In a situational update, the army said ground troops conducted raids in Sheikh Zeid and Jabalia in the north of Gaza.
“This morning, troops neutralised a terror tunnel shaft from which a Hamas terrorist exited and fired at the soldiers. Moreover, troops identified terrorists and located weapons in a structure used by the Hamas terrorist organisation. The troops killed the terrorists and destroyed the structure,” the army wrote.

Analysis
Truce happening amid ‘fragile situation’
As Israel and Hamas agree to a four-day truce, Tamer Qarmout, assistant professor in public policy at the Doha Institute, says the deal is taking place in a very “fragile situation”.
“If it happens, it will build trust at least. If it succeeds until the end, it might lead to an opening for another opportunity to exchange prisoners and captives and hopefully end this war,” Qarmout told Al Jazeera.
He stressed that the most important thing that needs to be addressed during the pause is the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
“It’s about food and shelter. Winter is here in Gaza, people are sleeping outside, and there’s nothing to cover them. So it’s a disaster. Aid needs to be increased and the international community need to push Israel on this,” Qarmout said.

Negotiations on captives a sticking point to securing deal
James Bays
James Bays
Diplomatic Editor
They have been trying to reach a deal for weeks, ever since Blinken first came to Qatar in the early days of Israel’s bombardment.
They got close a number of times but it’s always been the Israeli side that backed out.
The problem had been how many captives should Hamas release, and how long the truce should be that Israel agrees to.
The deal on any extension is apparently that if another 10 captives are released beyond the 50, then Israel says they will give another day of extension.
Once you start a pause, the international community, with the exception of the US and the few European countries, notably the UK, Germany, wants a permanent ceasefire. So there’s going to be a great deal of pressure to start it and not stop it.

A farm in Khan Younis was bombarded, and an attack was carried out on the Nuseirat refugee camp where dozens of Palestinians were killed.
In the north, areas around the Indonesian Hospital and Kamal Adwan Hospital were targeted, and an ambulance was reportedly shelled.
The Jabalia refugee camp was also bombarded, which had previously been hit many times by Israeli forces.
More than 2,000 Palestinians are still reported missing under the rubble, where civil defence teams are facing difficulties rescuing them.

Thirty-three female Palestinians included in list of prisoners to be released
Correction: We earlier reported that the list included 60 women. That was incorrect and it has now been fixed.
The list of 300 Palestinian prisoners published by the Israeli Ministry of Justice includes 33 female prisoners in addition to dozens of others, most of whom were arrested in the last two years.
Most of the charges against them range from harming the security of the region, infiltrating into Israel without a permit, throwing stones, possessing weapons and causing damage.
Israel said it decided to release some of them in order to allow the Israelis who want to object and petition the Supreme Court to prevent this.

US concerned pause would allow journalists broader Gaza access: Report
A report by Politico quoting US administration officials says Washington “remains wary” about the Israeli government’s endgame in Gaza.
A senior administration official told the publication that there was no sense the pause in fighting would turn into a lengthier ceasefire.
In addition, there is concern in the administration about “an unintended consequence” of the truce deal, according to Politico.
“That it would allow journalists broader access to Gaza and the opportunity to further illuminate the devastation there and turn public opinion on Israel,” it said.

Nerve-racking time for captives’ families
Sara Khairat
Sara Khairat
Reporting from occupied East Jerusalem
The truce deal comes as a huge relief in some ways for the families of those taken captive as they feel their pressure on the government potentially helped these negotiations.
They said they’d been left out … but their marches and their protests, and being very vocal about it on Israeli media, may have had something to do with this.
But there is a real worry because Hamas will only be releasing the names of those who will be released a day before. So the families will be waiting to find out if their loved ones are being freed.
This is going to be a very nerve-racking time for the families, as some of them will find out their loved ones won’t be released just yet.

Israeli air raids have intensified during the last couple of hours across the Gaza Strip, while confrontations on the ground with Palestinian fighters and the Israeli occupation forces continued in different axes.
There are fears that air raids may intensify today before the agreement takes effect.
The conditions for people here remain very dire.
Still, the short-term pause will give a glimmer of hope to Palestinians who want to go back to their houses to check their lands and even pull the victims under the rubble.

Next steps
Although a four-day humanitarian pause has been agreed upon by Israel and Hamas, an immediate end to the Israeli bombing of Gaza is unlikely.
Here is a reminder of what the next steps are:
The official communication sent to Qatar has started the clock ticking on a 24-hour period during which any Israeli opposed to the agreement can lodge an appeal against the decision with Israel’s High Court.
During this period, neither captives in Gaza nor Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails will be released.
After this period of appeal has passed, the first exchange of captives and prisoners will likely take place on Thursday or Friday.

They have said that this is also going to include the delivery of hundreds of trucks of aid.

Important ‘all aspects’ of deal ‘fully implemented’: Biden
US President Joe Biden has released a statement, specifically welcoming the deal to release captives held by Hamas.
Biden thanked Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar and President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt for “their critical leadership and partnership in reaching this deal”.
He added that he “appreciate[d] the commitment that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have made in supporting an extended pause”.
“I look forward to speaking with each of these leaders and staying in close contact as we work to ensure this deal is carried through in its entirety,” Biden added.
“It is important that all aspects of this deal be fully implemented,” the US president said.
Although the statement issued by the White House did not repeat specific details of the deal already released by Israel, Hamas and Qatar, which acted as a mediator, Biden’s statement did refer specifically to US citizens.
“Today’s deal should bring home additional American hostages, and I will not stop until they are all released,” he said.

Israel agrees to truce but in ‘no mood to end’ war: Analyst
James Dorsey, senior fellow at the National University of Singapore’s Middle East Institute, told Al Jazeera that Israel’s temporary truce with Hamas is just a first step in difficult negotiations ahead, with a lasting peace in Gaza still far off.
“What this [deal] tells you is how difficult things are going to be going forward. Once you get to the question of releasing Israeli military personnel held captive by Hamas these negotiations are going to become much more difficult.
“My sense is that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was caught in a bind. On the one hand domestic pressure – which wants the hostages released and wants them released now – and, on the other hand, US pressure to allow for a truce.
“Israel wants to come out of this war as being seen to having restored its deterrence capability. What it’s so far shown is its destructive capabilities.
“One of the things that I think is also significant is that it took significant US pressure to get this deal done, which really tells you what it is going to take in terms of US pressure to get something more permanent in place [in Gaza].
“I think, overall, Israel is in no mood to end this conflict, end this war at this point.
“It hasn’t achieved its objectives yet.”

“The northern part of Gaza is essentially uninhabitable and I have to say that is, in fact, the goal,” said Loewenstein, adding that “Israel is planning to strengthen and deepen its fighting in the south of Gaza at the end” of the pause in fighting.
Loewenstein noted that international pressure is needed not only to “end the war” but also for the release of captives and prisoners on both sides.
“There are literally thousands and thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, many of whom are there without charge, indefinitely held for years,” he said.

Three American captives expected to be released in Gaza deal, US official says
Speaking to reporters on background, a senior US official said a young girl is among the three Americans expected to be released.
The official said Washington anticipates that more than 50 captives will be freed as part of the initial phase of the deal.
The US also hopes the pause in fighting in Gaza will see a “surge” in humanitarian supplies being allowed into the bombarded enclave, the official added.

It’s 5am (03:00 GMT) in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel. Here are the latest developments:
Israel has approved a Qatar-mediated truce deal that will see the release of 50 captives held in Gaza and a four-day pause in the fighting.
Hamas confirms a temporary ceasefire has been reached, adding that 150 Palestinian women and children held in Israeli jails will be freed as part of the deal.
Netanyahu says the war in Gaza will continue despite the agreement, promising to press on after the pause in fighting until Hamas is destroyed.
The Israeli army has carried out raids across the occupied West Bank, including in Hebron, the Dheisheh refugee camp and Tulkarem.
Medical sources told Al Jazeera that a 30-year-old Palestinian man was killed by Israeli forces during a raid in the West Bank village of Azzun, near Qalqilya.
The US says it struck two facilities in Iraq in response to attacks against US forces by “Iran and Iran-backed groups”.
Palestinian news agency Wafa says two more journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Axios has reported that US Secretary of State Blinken is planning to visit Israel next week.

Far-right Israeli politicians ‘fierce’ in opposition to Gaza truce deal: Correspondent
Al Jazeera correspondent Hamdah Salhut, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem, said there was fierce opposition from sections of Israel’s far-right parties to the truce deal.
The Religious Zionism party, headed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and the Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) party, led by the National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, were reportedly the most vocal in opposition, according to Salhut.
Israeli media reported that Benny Gantz, a member of the country’s war cabinet, called for unity around the deal, saying that it was the right deal for Israel at this moment, Salhut reports.
That call may have worked in that just three of the 38 members of the Israeli cabinet voted against the truce deal. All three were ministers from the Jewish Power party.

Questions raised over Israeli strikes that hit aid groups in Gaza
Reporting from Washington, DC, Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna has said a report by US news outlet Politico has renewed questions about Israeli attacks on aid groups in the enclave.
“Humanitarian organisations are asking why are they continuing to be targets of strikes by Israel, despite the fact that they have supplied their GPS coordinates to the Israeli forces through the United States government and the United Nations,” Hanna reported.
Washington sent GPS coordinates of medical facilities, including al-Shifa Hospital, and gave Israel information on the movement of aid groups, according to three people familiar with the messages quoted by Politico.
“According to the report, the information included not only GPS coordinates of a number of medical facilities, but also information on movements of aid groups for at least a month,” Hanna said.
“But as this Politico report said, the system was not observed in the case of Gaza, and Israeli forces carried out attacks on marked targets, and the bombing still continued.”

Who is Ben-Gvir, the Israeli minister who voted no to the truce?
Just three of the 38 members of the Israeli cabinet voted against the truce deal.
All three are ministers from Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit), a far-right political party in Israel headed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
A settler in Kiryat Arba, one of the most radical settlements in the occupied West Bank, Ben-Gvir has a long history of incitement against Palestinians.
He has been convicted of:
incitement to racism
destroying property
possessing a “terror” organisation’s propaganda material
supporting a “terror” organisation – Meir Kahane’s outlawed Kach group, which he joined when he was 16

Pause in fighting will be welcomed in Gaza: Analyst
Speaking before Israel approved the Gaza deal, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara said the agreement – though temporary – would bring relief on multiple levels.
“I’m sure [the pause in fighting] will be a kind of relief for many … whether they are patients in hospitals or whether they are children at home who just want to have one night of sleep without bombings,” Bishara said.
“And clearly, the release of [Palestinian] prisoners held captive basically in Israeli prisons for so many years … that’s also welcomed.
“And I think the idea of getting those trucks of medicine and fuel, that’s also welcome – because the idea of starving a population is absolutely the definition of a genocide.”
Bishara said, however, that Israel has already made it clear that it would resume its offensive in Gaza after the temporary truce expires. “When you listen to the Israeli officials, it seems like this is just a bit of an exception, a bit of a glitch – as soon as it’s over … they will resume their war.”

Latest UN report on Gaza highlights Israeli attacks on hospitals, health workers
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has released its latest report on the desperate situation in Gaza:
Four doctors were killed and patients injured when al-Awda Hospital in north Gaza came under Israeli attack on Tuesday. Separately, a WHO staff member was killed alongside her six-month-old baby, husband and two brothers when Israeli forces bombed her parents’ home in Gaza City.
The WHO has now documented 178 attacks by Israeli forces on health centres in the Gaza Strip that resulted in 22 deaths and 48 injuries among on-duty healthcare workers.
Israeli tanks have surrounded and are besieging the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza where some 500 patients and staff were evacuated on Tuesday to a hospital in southern Khan Younis. The evacuation followed an Israeli attack that killed at least 12 at the Indonesia-funded health facility.
Only two small hospitals in the north of the Palestinian enclave – one in Gaza City and another in Beit Lahiya – are still partially operational with the remaining 22 hospitals in the northern part of the Gaza Strip no longer functional.
In the 24 hours between Monday and Tuesday evening, two more Israeli soldiers were reported killed in Gaza, bringing the total number of Israeli forces killed so far in the Gaza ground war to 73.

“The Government of Israel is obligated to return home all of the hostages.
“Tonight, the Government has approved the outline of the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages – women and children – will be released over four days, during which a pause in the fighting will be held. The release of every additional ten hostages will result in one additional day in the pause.
“The Government of Israel, the [Israeli army] and the security services will continue the war in order to return home all of the hostages, complete the elimination of Hamas and ensure that there will be no new threat to the State of Israel from Gaza.”

Analysis
Israel’s approval of Gaza deal comes amid continued pressure on Netanyahu
The Israeli government’s approval of the temporary Gaza truce deal comes as Netanyahu has faced weeks of pressure from the Israeli public, most notably the families of captives held in the bombarded enclave.
Netanyahu said ahead of the vote – announced shortly after 3am local time in Israel (01:00 GMT) – that he spent last night meeting with some of those families.
He told them that returning their loved ones was “a sacred and supreme task”, Netanyahu said.
But the Israeli prime minister has also been clear that he has no intention of ending Israel’s war on Gaza.
“Let me make it clear,” he said earlier, “we are at war – and will continue the war”.
He said Israel will not stop until it achieves its goals, which are “eliminating Hamas, returning all of our hostages and assuring that … Gaza will no longer threaten Israel”.

Reporting from occupied East Jerusalem
The Israeli government has been firm that though there will be a pause in the fighting for an amount of days stipulated in the agreement, which we do not have yet, it does not mean that there will be an end to the fighting.
Israel has war goals that it hopes to achieve, which include the return of all of the captives – not just a fraction of them – and the total dismantling of Hamas’s military and political capabilities inside of the Gaza Strip.

Israel-Hamas truce deal: What are the next steps?
The Israeli government has approved a Qatari-mediated deal for a pause in fighting with Hamas.
Now that the truce has been agreed, we can expect the process to unfold in several stages, which means that an immediate end to Israeli bombing of Gaza is unlikely.
An official communication is now expected to be sent to Qatar informing of the Israeli cabinet’s vote in favour of the truce agreement. That will then be followed by an official announcement in Qatar of the deal.
That announcement starts the clock ticking on a 24-hour period during which any Israeli opposed to the truce agreement can lodge an appeal against the decision with Israel’s High Court.
During this period, neither captives in Gaza nor Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails will be released.
After this period of appeal has passed, it is likely that the first exchange of captives and prisoners will take place on either Thursday or Friday.
Israeli media has quoted political sources in Israel as saying that during the truce, Palestinians in Gaza displaced by the fighting will be unable to return to the northern part of the war-torn enclave.

Here’s what we know about the Gaza truce deal
Al Jazeera’s diplomatic editor, James Bays, has laid out what we know about the Qatar-mediated agreement, which the Israeli government is expected to approve.
Fifty Israeli women and children held in Gaza would be released in exchange for a temporary ceasefire of four to five days, Bays reported.
“That’s 50 out of an estimated 237 captives, although it’s worth recalling that Hamas has said dozens of the captives have already been killed in Israeli air strikes,” he said.
Here’s what else we know:
About 150 Palestinian women and children are expected to be released from Israeli jails.
There will be a 24-hour period following the release of a list of Palestinian names to allow for legal appeals.
Foreign nationals are not believed to be included in the main agreement, but they could still be part of separate deals and could possibly be released during the temporary ceasefire period.
Ten captives are expected to be released each day during the course of the pause in fighting. It has been reported that Israel is willing to give an additional day of pause for every 10 further captives released by Hamas.
About 300 trucks of aid, including fuel, are expected to be allowed into the Gaza Strip.
Israel has reportedly agreed not to fly drones for six hours per day. Hamas had expressed concerns during negotiations that the drones would be used to gather further intelligence during the pause in fighting.
During that pause, Israel says it will refuse to allow Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza.

Two more Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli strikes
The Palestinian news agency, Wafa, identified the two slain journalists as Muhammad Nabil al-Zaq and Assem al-Barsh.
Wafa said they were killed just after midnight following Israeli strikes on the al-Shujaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City and the al-Saftawi area in northern Gaza.
Al-Zaq was identified as a Quds TV journalist while Al-Barsh worked as a sound engineer and commentator for Palestinian al-Ray radio, the report said.
Their names have not yet been added to a list of slain journalists compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
CPJ has said at least 53 journalists and media workers have been killed in the Israel-Hamas conflict since October 7: 46 Palestinians, four Israelis and three Lebanese citizens.

Some Israeli cabinet members opposed to truce deal, but agreement likely to pass
Hamdah Salhut
Hamdah Salhut
Reporting from occupied East Jerusalem
There is some staunch opposition from members of Israel’s far-right.
We’re looking at the Jewish Power party, spearheaded by the country’s security minister and a known ultranationalist, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and the Religious Zionism party – and the head of that party is the country’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
Both of these parties are essentially saying that they’re going to oppose the deal because they say that it harms Israel’s interests and that the army should continue in its military campaign and that the deal “neglects” the other captives currently inside of the Gaza Strip.
Now despite all of this, the Israeli government is said to have the number of votes needed for the deal to go through.
The Israeli prime minister stressed in his remarks tonight that this will not end the war and that the fighting will continue.

Protesters who did not comply with directions and occupied roads near the port were charged with offences, including disrupting the operations of a major facility.
About 400 people had gathered near the port on Tuesday evening. Protesters carried Palestinian flags, chanted “Free Palestine” to banging drums and held signs reading “Boycott ZIM” and “End the Gaza Blockade”, television footage showed.
Police also forcibly removed some protesters from near the port’s entrance.

‘No safe place’ as Israel bombs south, central, northern Gaza: AJ correspondent
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, says there have been renewed Israeli air attacks in the south, central and northern areas of the Palestinian enclave, including attacks on Khan Younis and Rafah City in the southern region of the strip.
“Also, in Gaza City… more residential buildings are being destroyed and more infrastructure is being damaged. There are constant attacks on public facilities including schools, hospitals and medical centres in an attempt by the Israeli military to force people, who are still stranded in Gaza and the northern parts, to leave for the central and southern part of the Gaza Strip,” Mahmoud said.
But Israel is also intensely bombing the central and southern parts of Gaza, including residential buildings and refugee camps, resulting in many civilian deaths, Mahmoud said.
“Unfortunately, these two areas are not safe,” he said.
“There doesn’t seem to be a safe place for the evacuees.”
