what we know, according to the reuters news agency, is that, as has been reported over the past few days, we know that in the first stage of this deal, which would last six weeks, 33 hostages will be released on humanitarian grounds. it was 34 up until last week. one more hostage was found dead in a tunnel. they are going to be all women, children and civilians over the age of 50. those who are ill and severely injured. what we now know is that in return, in exchange for the release of those hostages, hundreds and hundreds of palestinian detainees will be released. now, it's worth pointing out here that since october 7th, 2023, israel has arrested thousands of people in the west bank, many of them held in what's called administrative detention. they have not been charged, they've not been tried. and israel stands accused of amassing all these palestinians just for this moment, to be able to release them in this deal. so what we understand, according to various reports in israeli media, as well as the reuters news agency, is that for every civilian that will be a civilian hostage who will
