  3. Unless there are sudden unpleasant surprises, this goes to show how badly Hamas is afraid of the upcoming expansion of the war, and how much pressure the lack of aid put them into. This should’ve been done from day 1.

    From Israeli media:

    >According to the Prime Minister’s Office, “The US has told Israel that this move is expected to lead to negotiations for the release of hostages in accordance with the original Witkoff outline – which Israel has already accepted. Israel is preparing for the possibility that this move will materialize. According to Israeli policy, the negotiations will take place under fire with a commitment to achieving all the goals of the war.”

  4. This would be the first time Hamas releases a hostage without any prisoners released back.

    There must be something happening behind the scenes, perhaps related to the rumors around a Saudi deal and a recognition of a Palestinian state by the US.
