Hebrew channel 12 reported that the first batch of “Israeli” captives will be released by Hamas on Sunday, as several sources said the agreement nears inking and will possibly be officially announced by tomorrow the latest.

The report said that agreement is similar to the one proposed on May 27, 2024, and the first captives to be released are children and non-combatant women.

  • First day: Three captives will be released
  • Seventh day: Four captives will be released
  • Day 14 : Three released (priority for women)
  • Day 21: Three released
  • Day 28 : Three released
  • Day 35: Three released

By then, 19 captives will be released out of the 33.

The first stage will last 42 days, and the remaining 14 out of the total of 33 captives will be released in the last week of the first phase, and will mostly include children, women, female soldiers, aged 50+, sick and wounded men.

What will Hamas get in return?

  • 1,000 Palestinian prisoners will be released from prison, those (allegedly) charged with murder will be released to Gaza, Qatar, or Turkey
  • Fighters captured from Hamas’ special operations force (Nukhba) will not be released in the first stage
  • The “Israeli” military will withdraw from Netzarim Corridor
  • Humanitarian aid will be increased to 600 trucks per day
  • Residents of the northern Gaza Strip will be able to return to their homes starting from January 22.
  • Most “Israeli” forces will withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor
