Hopes of Israel – Hamas truce extension as more hostages in Gaza set to be freed | BBC News
There are hopes the truce between Israel and Hamas could be extended, with talks being held in Qatar about a possible new deal.
US president Joe Biden said that allowing the conflict to continue in Gaza would “give Hamas what they seek”.
Israel says it’s received a list of hostages held in Gaza who could be released later on Wednesday, on the sixth day of the current truce.
On Tuesday, 12 more hostages were released by Hamas and Israel freed 30 more Palestinian prisoners.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The hostages coming out of gaza are in good condition and treated well, while the Palestinians children detained by Israel are leaving with bruises, broken limbs, and psychological trauma. As Israel is releasing detained children, they are arresting more throughout the West Bank to make up for the releases which is just sickenin

What does hijab mean? It's like someone saying respect my suit and then in the law say that you are taking care of my suit. If it is a personal hijab, there is no problem, but today hijab demands from countries and people to observe and make laws and pay for it. Intellectual poverty must be removed.، @7@

BBC is a bias Western medias like most of them. Talk about the 10 mothers that have been kidnapped from the North of Gaza 2 days after the truce. One of them was breastfeeding her baby…

Haven't yet seen the BBC report on 2 children shot dead by the IDF in Jenin, the youngest being 8 years old. Who says the BBC are a neutral organisation? An interview with the brave IDF warriors will no doubt be on the cards soon. How proud Bibi must be. 😢

Jesus this is so biased its crazy. Israel released 117 hostages and then just captured 116 more from the west bank. Israel has tortured its hostages to the point of death according to multiple separate testimonies whereas Hamas's hostages have all come out smiling and hugging the Hamas members.

The military governor of the Gaza Strip, Brigadier General Yitzhak Segev, revealed that the Israeli government had financed the Islamic movement to counteract the PLO …. “the thinking on the part of some of the right-wing Israeli establishment was that Hamas and the other groups, if they gained control, would refuse to have anything to do with the peace process and would torpedo any agreements put in place.”.."The Hamas had built its strength through its various acts of sabotage of the peace process, in a way which was compatible with the interests of the Israeli government. In turn, the latter sought in a number of ways, to prevent the application of the Oslo accords. In other words, Hamas was fulfilling the functions for which it was originally created:… to prevent the creation of a Palestinian State.
