released. it will also include a pause in the surveillance of these randy surveillance of the gaza strip, particularly in the south that will stop completely according to the agreement. and in the north, it will say 6 hours a day of those savannah's drones not being flying all over the area. and also in exchange will be a $150.00 approximately women and children from his riley prisons. palestinians from is riley prisons and also the agreement to, to incorporate more to sorry, have moved few and a deliveries into the gaza strip. so some very welcome news that is right is waking up to this morning. is a clear, rebecca, when the 1st hostages will be released. it is thought that the release is, will begin. uh, tomorrow morning. so around about 24 hours a time from now and its sort that the delay is obviously

a lots to organize. this is a huge, a huge coordination is required, so 24 hours is the time around about that we've been given what we're hearing, being reported in local media. there's also this delayed for 24 hours in order for petitions to it's a legal process for petitions to be able to be filed in the high court against the release of palestinian prisoners. but we thought it's thought that the red cross would actually be given access to the hostages prior to their release in order to be able to administer medications. and the light can be able to check them medically before they're in fact released. and we should stop seeing the 1st group, as i said about 12 to 13 people being released as of thursday morning. tell us, rebecca, how is re lease or reacting to the news of this new but it's incredibly well come use here. this has been absolutely top of the as riley agend or we know that the government's military agenda is also to eradicate mass.

that is something that has widespread support here, but this hostage situation is, has taken the nation by, i mean, you know, you can't speak to in this riley without them talking about this. you see post as all over the country. this is very traumatic incident for his riley's and to do something of utmost importance. we seem to families all the hostages campaigning through. throughout this 10th time, conducting much is conducting protests. going to the can. i said lobbying the ministers to try and make sure that everybody's focused on this. so this morning, i mean, those rallies that went up all night watching this deal take place on their television screens will be waking out to this very, very welcome news. now these really government has approved this deal, but some members of the governing coalition, i understand voted against the can you tell us why it's it's, it's been quite contentious, particularly with the fall right. members of the coalition. they say that this deal

is, you know, signing with hamas. basically they say that this is really giving them a free kick that the, this is what they wanted. and the fact that who must agreed to, they still means that it is a bad deal. uh, in the end, so only 3 ministers abstain from the way, hearing the, the, the, the numbers, what really made public. but this is what we're hearing from is writing media sources who were attending that there were 3 members that get that voted against them out of a jewish power potty or it's may you who did that as a it's my been the the minutes the security minister and his party, they agree before the vote that they would not go in as a block. they were not going to vote, but we saw that they um the 33 other members. so it still had a clear majority that this deal went through. now some of the people, i'm sure some of them in a says, well, we're not sure about whether or not they were going to vote. but then when the security services, when the most said when the shouldn't. but they said that they thought it was a good idea that that was a good deal that convinced most of the people who was sitting on the fence. but as

you say, there was some resistance in the government to agreeing to this. and israel's had to make some concessions that supposed to stop surveillance, as he mentioned in the south during the pause. uh nothing you know, who had resisted any type of 65 before. why is it great to this one? it's i, it's hard to say, i don't know exactly how the negotiations went behind closed doors. exactly what information they were they were getting and discussing and mulling over but, but netanyahu has been under intense pressure. he's been under pressure obviously from these these right wing factions of the potty also from members of the public who are clearly angry about what happened on october 7. and they want to see how much around the cases. but while on the other hand, under intense pressure from the hostage families who has been sang, please the, the utmost priority should be the safe for ton of our loved ones. so the situation kind of like a delicate balance of trying to, you know,

continue on both the objectives of releasing the hostages and eliminating come off . but this deal be the mode of, of a, i would say weeks now, we know that these deals have been being discussed even prior to, as well going into can, can carry out the ground operation. they, this, a deal of this nature was being discussed. so these conditions have been being mulled over for all of this time. and now they obviously feel that the time is right. the pressure is high enough and you know, they, they seem to have a deal that everyone can agree to. rebecca, thank you very much. that was our correspond rebecca rivers in jerusalem. well, many has really survivors of i'm us is october 7th terrorist attack continued to deal with a trauma of that day in an attempt to address this problem and is really run wellness retreat in cyprus is offering a free state to survivors of the attack on the nova music festival to come to terms

a c spark was reached in gaza. but rather poses government hasn't announced when it will implement this isn't, is more than 30 people have been killed and dozens injured in a stampede. and the republic of congo incident happened to the military recruitment event of the stadium of the capital browser. bill authorities have called for a day of morning and are investigating what caused sam p. career claims to have successfully launched his 1st spice satellite state media release. these images of leader kim jong overseeing the launch cell 3 a has responded by suspending part of the military packed with john young. both us and south 3 and officials say they can not verify whether the launch was a success letters and then the other ones go to the polls to today to elect a new parliament. the election was triggered last summer when outgoing prime minister mark root is government collapsed amid disagreement over assign them

policies, 3 major party groupings are battling to propose a government and their neck and neck. and the pulse in the netherlands is set for major change at the top off the there's been space elections. the country will have a new leader for the 1st time. in 13 years, paul's still too close to call on who will take on the road, and voters have a long list of issues they want to see tackled. i think for me uh, climate change and housing, there's a housing crisis in the and then well, animal welfare is also very important of course climates and migration health care um, morales, the education and schools. um, of course me, grace and migration the front or on us a deal on user goose. then you lead off. i'd go in prime minister my uncle with his party and peter on tape who lounged his new centrist potty only this summer. as

center less block of the labor party intervene left let by form i you climb and commission of funds 2 more months is currently 3rd in the pause this, none of these parties likely to been more than 20 percent of the road candidates are already considering their options for forming no call list 2 out of these 3 parties on safety or party and uh, vc, the from pot, former prime minister risk are really keyed on forming a right wing coalition. so irrespective of who wednesday selections, we're looking to be heading towards the rights the make up of the next government could also have consequences. outside benevolence says the longer if the midlands in dates gets a right wing coalition with peter on 6th party and the former prime minister at the cvb, this will likely mean that the government will be a slightly more euro skeptic that before we'll try to push for more freedom to cap

immigration in europe and also that this government will probably be very much on the side of israel and the current conflicts, books, all, most voters. it's issues closer to home that are helping the agenda. the netherlands is facing a serious housing shortage and the cost of living crisis as well as a device $50.00 bade over migration. extensive coalition talks are set to follow wednesdays selection. the digital therefore have to wait a bit longer for new vent to bill. you're watching dw news, just reminder the top story we're following for you this our israel's government has voted in favor of a hostage deal with some us the deal. we'll see the militant group release, 50 women and children being held hostage in the gaza strip and exchange for, for a truce. israel's government has also offered an additional one day extension of
