Israël stelt sinds zaterdag de vrijlating van ruim zeshonderd Palestijnse gevangenen uit. Hamas moet eerst de vrijlating van gegijzelden garanderen en stoppen met ceremonies, schrijft de Israëlische regering. Discussieer tot 21.00 uur mee over deze ontwikkeling.

Israël stelt sinds zaterdag de vrijlating van 620 Palestijnse gevangenen uit. Hamas moet eerst de vrijlating van de gegijzelden garanderen en stoppen met de 'ceremonies'. Dat schrijft de Israëlische regering in een verklaring in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag.

De gewapende tak van Hamas heeft zaterdagavond een video gepubliceerd waarin te zien is hoe twee Israëlische gijzelaars toekijken bij de vrijlating van drie van de zes gijzelaars, eerder op de dag in Gaza. Eviatar David en Guy Gilboa-Dalal slaan het schouwspel gade vanuit een auto en smeken de Israëlische premier Benjamin Netanyahu hun vrijlating te bewerkstelligen. De families van de twee vroegen de media aanvankelijk de video of foto’s ervan niet te vertonen maar stemden daar later toch mee in. Volg alle ontwikkelingen in het Midden-Oosten in ons liveblog.

Unul dintre cei șase ostatici care au fost eliberați sâmbătă, 22 februarie, de Hamas este și cetățean român. După 500 de zile petrecute în captivitate, Omer Wenkert, în vârstă de 23 de ani, era foarte slăbit.

Unul dintre ostaticii eliberaţi sâmbătă, 22 februarie, de către Hamas are şi cetăţenie română. Președintele interimar al României, Ilie Bolojan, a adresat mulțumiri Statelor Unite, Qatarului, Israelului și Egiptului pentru eforturile depuse pentru eliberarea lor.

Hamas heeft het vermoedelijke lichaam van de Israëlische gegijzelde Shiri Bibas vrijdag alsnog overgedragen aan het Rode Kruis. De Israëlische autoriteiten bereiden zich voor op de ontvangst van het stoffelijk overschot. Donderdag gaf Hamas de lichamelijke resten van iemand anders.

Hamas besteedt veel aandacht aan de overdracht van (lichamen van) Israëlische gijzelaars, met ceremonies op speciale podia in Gaza. Israël wil de overdracht van Palestijnse gevangenen juist stilletjes laten verlopen. Dit is een bewuste strategie van beide partijen, zeggen experts tegen NU.nl.

Een van de vier door Hamas overgedragen lichamen is volgens het Israëlische leger niet van de afgesproken gijzelaar. Het zou ook niet om een van de andere gijzelaars gaan. Daarom beschuldigt IDF Hamas van een "zeer ernstige schending" van de voorwaarden.

A senior Egyptian official added: “The US administration has conveyed to Arab states that it is open to alternative plans regarding Gaza, beyond Trump’s initiative.”

Egyptische bronnen zeggen dat er schot zit in de onderhandelingen over de instandhouding van het staakt-het-vuren tussen Israël en Hamas. Deze deal kwam afgelopen week op losse schroeven te staan door dreigementen over en weer. Ook Israëlische bronnen zouden kansen zien.
