populum, fully as welcome to the program. there is breaking news this our israel's government has approved the deal to release some of the hostages held by home us in the gaza strip. under the agreement, thomas are set to release 50 of the hostages. it took in the october 7th attack on israel and exchange around a $150.00 pounds. standing prisoners held in his route will be set free. there will be a pause in fighting between israel's military and thomas for 4 days. for every 10 additional hostages released, there will be an extra day of truce. while in a statement before the cabinet meeting prime minister benjamin netanyahu stressed about the pause in the fighting does not mean the end of the war with hom, us. and that's who we are at war,

and we will continue the war. we will continue the war until we achieve all our objectives to eliminate him. us raton, although abduct t's and missing persons, and ensure that there will be no element in gaza that threatens israel know you assume glen, shall you have any sleep? arteries of corresponding time. your kramer gave me more details about the 50 hostages, who are choose to be released. well, what can i, what i can tell you is that this was a very, very long session and overnighted session by the government. at the end, they gave the green light to this agreement, they didn't release formerly, all the details of that. and they basically said that at least 50 hostages, women and children will be released over the 4 days. that is then coming into a temporary a ceasefire or a pause and fighting as they put it in this statement. and as you over the said,

they also said that addition in the every 10 hostages, that will be freed most likely, a more women and children as originally in the original idea. then another day of a ceasefire or polls will be added to the understand it's mainly in the 1st phase of dispute. it's a women, it's a children, children and the mothers and also elderly women that will be released. we heard from us that they would come this humanitarian choose as they put it, but they're also the statement also reiterated, again that is rover, continue this more and they will pursue that goal to eliminate from us. ok, tanya, now do we know when will be 1st hostages be freed? you know, we don't know yet. we are waiting also to hear when this polls and fighting will

actually start before that. and israel, the public has the possibility to object to this deal illegally to far the petition, for example, to the supreme court because of the release of palestinian prisoners. but this is seen here more as a commodity. the country is more or less behind. it is opposition to such a deal because some parts would say they would not like to see a pause and fighting. but in general, that has been a lot of pressure by the families and relatives of to hostages. you know, they have very much and people's mind here so that this dia can go ahead, but of course there will be also hostages. that will be left behind. out of the 236 bought the some reports saying that we could see some hostages released as early as of thursday. um or towards the end of the week. but we have to wait for

confirmation. you know, when all dispute go into motion at the same time, we understand preparations are underway because the hospital 6 hospitalization is, was already preparing to take in those hostages. that would be freed. right. so the deal also includes the release of palestinians, and there are also reports that age is part of this deal. what more can you tell us? yeah, this has not been specified in this very short statement. that is where the government released after this coming and meeting, but source to say that this still includes a $150.00 on posting in prison is also from which we understand women and children. denise that a housing is rarely present, that would be freed as part of the steel at the same time. also we understand that

humanitarian aid that's really badly needed in, in does a, at this time of war because the war is ongoing. as we speak is also will also be released into gaza, more trucks that might go into gaza, especially now that they will be a pulse and fighting. so the distribution of that aid would also be easier for the many tearing organizations. of course it's, it is also this, the hope that this will prolonged, in some more days at the end. tonya, what does this still mean for people in gaza? what of course uh i, i'm sure that residents in garza are and they would come it'd be like this, but it's actually, i mean they also know and they're hearing from the is very government that will the continued. so for them it's just a very, very short respite. i mean, either it's 4 days or 5 days of

a pause in fighting. there will be more humanitarian aid, but it doesn't mean that people can go home or can, can see what happened to the home. what happened to the last ones that are dispersed all over because of, you know, that's an estimated one point. 7000000 people in gaza has been displaced during the war. many are staying and overcrowded show just like you and schools. so for them it's a short respite, but of course i think that is the hope and also and this pressure that the ceasefire will last longer. but at the moment it doesn't seem the case because this is where the government has made it very clear that the will that continue. know, tanya, you, you mentioned the sees further nothing. yeah. who has been resisting moves for any type of cease fire at for weeks. now. what brought up by hays changing position? a blessing to have been uh, 4 weeks known to have been told that um uh, such

a deal or agreement to release m o. hostages could be in the making and in the 1st weeks of the war, the is where the government took a hard line stand saying, basically that is where i would not agree to any temporary, a pause and fighting on this. all the hostages are released and i think the 2 main points here. one is of course isabel has advanced and it's in its ground offensive in gaza is air strikes and the northern part of gaza. so the chief so it knew some of the goals already at the same time, the house being a lot of pressure by the families of by the relatives of the hostages to $236.00 hostages that are being held in garza. and if you go in city at the moment in israel, you see posters build boards anywhere you look to remind us of those hostages. and

i think the public pressure has been very strong, especially in the past weeks where, you know, there was some kind of, um, uh, signs or indication that caught, uh, that is mediating, they have said several times that they're close to a break through the us and egypt have worked in this deal, so i think the pressure was mounting as well on the government to to move ahead to agree to such a deal. thanks tanya dw, corresponding tanya kramer injury. so let's take a look and i was some more news headlines of suffering president, serial rum, oppose that has accused israel of war crimes, an ex quote temperament to genocide on a virtual brick. so much was the country's parliament later voted to close its embassy. and israel and suspend diplomatic ties until a cease fire is reached in gaza. but around the post,
