According to the Times of Israel, on February 1, 2024, a large-scale ** event broke out near the Tel Aviv Ministry of Defense, with demonstrators blocking the main road and demanding that Israel immediately reach an agreement to release the hostages held in the Gaza Strip. This event not only caused an uproar in Israel, but also attracted the attention of the international community. For the past 120 days, the hostages have been trapped underground, their lives in jeopardy.
Background and current situation of the hostage crisis:Since the Hamas attack on 7 October, the hostage crisis in the Gaza Strip has intensified. The Israeli hostages trapped underground are under extreme pressure to survive, and the two sides have reached an impasse in negotiations for the release of the hostages, while the hostages' families and supporters have launched a series of ** activities at home and abroad.
According to some reports, the current outline of the hostage agreement raises the possibility of a six-week pause in fighting in Gaza for the first time since the end of November, and the release of all 136 hostages still in Gaza, not all of whom are alive.
However, other reports say that the framework provides for the release of only 35 hostages – women, the elderly and the sick – during a preliminary truce of 35 days, with the possibility of a further week of suspension of fighting, during which negotiations can be held on further releases. There have been other reports citing different clauses in unconfirmed frame deals.
On Friday, a senior Egyptian ** familiar with the discussions described the proposal to The Associated Press, saying it included a six- to eight-week initial truce, during which Hamas would release elderly hostages, women and children in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. Throughout the phase, negotiations will continue to extend the truce and release more prisoners and hostages. Under the proposal, Israel would increase the number of aid trucks allowed into Gaza from the current few dozen to 300 per day, and allow displaced Gaza residents to gradually return to their homes in the north.
Behind the hostage crisis is a game between Israel and Hamas. There are serious differences between the two sides on the terms and manner of the release of the hostages, which has led to the failure to make substantive progress in the negotiations. At the same time, the international community and humanitarian organizations are closely following the incident, calling on all parties to respect humanitarian principles and resolve the hostage crisis as soon as possible to avoid an even greater humanitarian catastrophe.
The families of the hostages have become the most vocal voices in this crisis. They chanted the slogan "120 days underground without air: the lives of the hostages are in danger!" at a rally in Travi hostage square! "Their voices have touched the entire country and aroused more attention and concern for the humanitarian crisis. The solidarity and support of the population has become an important force in dealing with the crisis.
Meanwhile, Wall Street** reported that the terrorist group's leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, supports a temporary ceasefire, while the leader of the terrorist group outside the Gaza Strip is pushing for further Israeli concessions and a permanent ceasefire.
The hostage crisis has aroused widespread concern and appeal from the international community. Countries and international organizations have spoken out urging Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement as soon as possible to release the hostages and avoid further humanitarian catastrophes. At the same time, some countries and regions are also actively engaged in diplomatic mediation.
