00:00The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas announced handing over three Israeli detainees as part

00:04of the ceasefire agreement with the Zionist Regime of Israel.

00:08Our collaborator Huda Hegazi brings us more details.

00:18Following stressful days lived by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, after the statement issued

00:25by the spokesperson of the Hamas movement, Abu Abida, who said that the resistance movement

00:30would not release the three Israeli hostages who were planned to be released next Saturday,

00:36February 15, due to the violations of the Israeli regime, as it did not comply with

00:42the humanitarian truce or protocol.

00:44So we can say that today this incident has been sorted out, or at least some part of

00:49it.

00:50Following that statement, the Israeli regime, as well as the United States of America and

00:54its President Donald Trump, threatened that if the Hamas movement does not release the

00:59three Israeli hostages next Saturday at noon, the war on the Gaza Strip will be resumed.

01:09Following Trump's menaces, mediators began to do their work, so they increased their

01:14efforts to try to save the humanitarian truce, which was literally at the edge of collapsing.

01:24Mediators have been holding meetings with the delegation of Hamas leaders, presided

01:28by leader Jalil al-Qaeda, and after all these encounters held in El Cairo, mediators have

01:35come out with a solution so that these meetings have come to fruition.

01:41Mediators have pressed the Hamas movement to release the three Israeli hostages on Saturday.

01:50Likewise, they have provided guarantees to the Hamas movement that they will press the

01:55Israeli regime to make it comply with the truce, that is, Israel must end military aggressions

02:05on the Gaza Strip.

02:07In addition, the regime must be followed and abided by humanitarian protocols, and it must

02:14allow the entrance of humanitarian aid, as well as heavy materials, tents and caravans.

02:22And after mediators' pressure, we have to say that today the Hamas movement and its

02:27military wing, Al-Qaeda Brigades, announced tomorrow, on Saturday, they will carry out

02:33the hostages for prisoner swap, and they revealed that the three Israeli hostages' full names

02:40will be released tomorrow.

02:42It's sad that one of the three hostages has U.S. nationality, while the other has Russian

02:48nationality.

02:49Therefore, we can see how the Hamas movement, after mediators' pressure, is going to comply

02:54with their part of the deal.

02:57Meanwhile, allegedly, the Israeli regime should release over 360 Palestinian prisoners from

03:06the occupation jails.

03:0836 of them are incarcerated Palestinians with life sentences, coming from different Palestinian

03:15areas, either from the occupied territory or the occupied West Bank, and 333 have been

03:23incarcerated Gazans who have been arrested in the Gaza Strip following October 7th.

03:30However, so far there's no certainty that the Israeli regime will comply with this part

03:35of the deal, so that Israel releases the incarcerated Palestinians.

03:40Likewise, lately, the governmental office of media announced that Israel continues not

03:45allowing the entry of heavy material related to tents and even caravans inside the Gaza

03:52Strip.

03:53Therefore, by this statement, we can guess one thing.

03:56What we can guess is that after mediators' pressure, the Hamas movement will abide by

04:01and carry out its part of the deal.

04:04Notwithstanding, the Israeli regime continues violating the deal as it does not allow the

04:09entrance of those materials in the Gaza Strip so far, despite mediators had shown guarantees

04:15assuring the Israeli regime would comply with the deal.

04:20Hence, after this statement issued by the government office of media, the Hamas movement

04:25has ensured in a clear manner that if tomorrow, following the release of hostages, the Israeli

04:31regime keeps up not complying with its part of the deal, not pursuing humanitarian protocols

04:37such as allowing the entrance of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, the movement will have

04:42a serious response and the aftermaths will be quite negative and thus, we can say that

04:47even though tomorrow the movement will release the hostages, there is still an active crisis

04:51between the Hamas movement and the Israeli regime and the aftermaths can be very negative.

04:57Between the Hamas movement and the Israeli regime, there is still an active crisis and

05:01the aftermaths can be very negative.
