that they will come back soon. many here don't want to risk anything. now that a return of at least some of the captives could be just around the corner. us president joe biden told reporters that he's very helpful. the hostages will be free to working on my team. it should show very, very close. it is very soon i let's cross live now to jerusalem, where our correspondent there tanya kramer is standing by tanya,

great to see you. so do you have any details about who the safety hostages could be released are well, we don't have any confirmed details, but the reports are saying that 50 hostages could be released if the cabinet or the government okays no, this deal, they're still meeting. we're waiting for them to come to an end to this meeting. now, these hostages, such as the, mainly most of the children that have been to the doctor on october 7th and the mothers and also potentially other women, also of elderly people. and that has been adapted on october 7. so these hostages, as we understand, would be released over these days of doing this uh, temporary c. so i that would be $4.00 to $5.00 days alone that could be released in

groups. of course at least uh another over a $180.00 hostages uh, still in gaza. and we understand that uh from time you send it to me, y'all was set that uh the international red cross would then be able under the dea a to visit those hostages. that would be at least some relief for the families who might not see their loved ones released during a dispute because they haven't heard from their relatives being housing cause of no for the time since october 7, so to speak. tanya opinion mean it's in yahoo says he's in favor of the deal, but is there actually any opposition to it in the cabinets? well we know that some of the far right members of his cabinet um are opposed to the deal at least to have voiced uh, the off position. this is name of the far right minister for national security to

my bank there. but we also understand from sources within the government that most of the government is expected to vote uh for this deal. um, most importantly i have to say uh, we've been hearing from the security establishment, you know, from different levels from the uh, internal uh, security agency edition bed or from the massage from, from the army, the chief of staff that they're supporting this deal. and i think it's also important to mention prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it's made it very clear. this is just a temporary hold or a temporary ceasefire. it's not the end of the war and that this will be continuing . this goes in line and what he has said that only pressure will bring about the release of hostages. and of course they want to bring more hostages back home and also get to that goal to eliminate from us. know tanya. nathan?

yeah. who has been resisting moves at for any type of cease fire and water. what brought about his changing position? well, i think we've been hearing now 4 weeks actually. and of course in the last days has been more that a deal is in the making. but is what had taken a very strong stand saying basically a hard line stance rather saying that uh no, uh there will be no temporary c store unless unless old hostages will be released. and i think there are 2 things that are being discussed deals by the military analyst and as well, they're saying basically it's been has pushed quite of successfully forward as they see it in gaza. they, they are now and goes to the city. they've taken some of the neighborhoods, they're, they're in a ship hospital, one of the center, the, the interest, the for the army to get in there. and of course is also the pressure by the

families they wanted to see. i know some of the hostages being released and i think now with a cut to, with the united states, with egypt or working on such a hosted steel. and also how most agreeing to the proposals. you know, the time is know there to go ahead with at least this part of the hostage to you, but again, it's only a temporary hold and hostilities. and isabel has made it very clear to continue the war often. what's tanya is the cabinet does sign off on the deal. what happens next? the 1st of all, we expect of course to know more about the details of the view of what it entails. it will also uh show uh, in terms of uh, concerning the palestinian prisoners that are mainly women and a minus the children under the age of 18 that are expected to be released. their

details will be released and this will give the is really public the chance to a p, a or a loan to petition at the supreme court if they have any objections towards that. then we will of course hear when the ceasefire, this temporary sees the fire will be put in place. and then of course the, um, we will prepare the ground as well. uh, for when the 1st hostages are, will be released, we are waiting all these details, of course to be confirmed, and then to see whether the hostages will be released. you know, when this over that happened and put into motion by the end of the week. thanks tanya dw correspondent time you crime or injuries them for us i'll be on is in the american is riley in tennessee to members of her family were killed in the october 7th terror attacks. 3 others are believed to be home as hostages be told, dw, earlier what she makes of these negotiations. i try not to pay

a ton of attention to it until i think it's real. we've gotten our hopes up. we know that things are fragile and we're just waiting for something to be concrete. the fact that for hostages have been released and one has been rescued is amazing. it's better than nothing at this point, but it also feels very challenging that we have to fight to continue to make sure the hostage issue doesn't get lost. and the people move on this, you know, yesterday was the international day of children. and we didn't hear word from you in a staff, we haven't heard word from any you and or global health organizations regarding sign of life or medical status of anyone. and right now we feel like we're unsure how the world isn't screening on behalf of the hostages, as an american, and it is rarely and a human. we're sad about every loss of life, but it feels like the world is not screening hard enough for these innocent civilians that are being held hostage. let's take looking at what some of the other
