Continuing

Thank you!

Thanks @StarbucksSmarterSister

Thank you for starting. I am sorry for the hostages and their families who were not released today. I had a horrible feeling something would happen.

Just to point out I meant of course those who had been given longer sentences.

Thankyou @StarbucksSmarterSister !

BBC are saying dispute resolved and hostage release going ahead.

Excellent!!

Hostage release is back on according to report from Qatar
39 Palestinians, 13 Israel’s and 7 others ( country of origin not declared )

this is from Al Jazeera based on tweet from Qatari FM - if you can read Arabic

Exchange deal to resume: Qatar Tonight

39 Palestinian civilians and 13 Israeli captives from Gaza will be released in addition to seven foreigners, says the official spokesperson for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The spokesman said “the obstacles were overcome through Qatari-Egyptian” mediation.

Thanks goodness for mediation in whatever form it takes.
Once again I hope more children are released.

Oh good news!

I am hopeful for all hostages to be released from both sides.
One little girl who is stuck in my mind is 9 year old Emily who's dad was told she was killed and then it was realised she was being held hostage.His interviews are truly heartbreaking 💔 Emily doesn't have a mother as she passed away when she was younger. She was at a sleepover when she was taken.
I really hope he's reunited with his daughter 💕

@Reba767 i hope Abigail and Emily are released today.

Abigail was taken by Hamas after they murdered her mum and dad. I believe her dad was holding her at the time. She has two siblings who hid for 12 hours.

Sorry if you know all this already.

Thats good news. Is there any indication of if there will be children in this group? and the Palestinian group?

More info re some of the issues with the hostage release today
No idea if there are journalists in Gaza to verify the siting of drones flying over

Hopefully all of this has now been resolved

After a delay, obstacles to release of prisoners were overcome through Qatari-Egyptian contacts with both sides, and 39 Palestinian civilians will be released tonight, while 13 Israeli hostages will leave Gaza in addition to 7 foreigners.”

20 in total

Wait actually is the 7 foreigners referring to the remaining Thai nationals?

Those to be released.
No names yet

At least the children are taking priority. 41 in total. Good news!

Oh thank god, its obviously awful for adults too but very different for the children. I hate thinking about how scared they must be.

BBC
Qatar have said the 13 hostages and 7 foreign nationals are now with the red Cross

What worries me is that Israelis will just go and kidnap more Palestinians from the WB.
They have 10000 Palestinian hostages now, and have been taking more and more people all this time.
What is stopping them from going and taking more people?

And Israel never allowed all of the aid that was promised in.

There’s nothing stopping them
17 we’re taken yesterday.
others shot at, beaten, injured.

So they give with one hand and take with another

Praying that Naama Levy is on this list.

@Parkingt111 that's fantastic news. Any idea on names yet? I am scouring the news.
