 B"H Hostages could be released this week

-Trump posted: “There have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) this weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle East. These talks have been very successful, and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the final details. I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST. I will continue to monitor this Centuries old “conflict.” TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OR, MASSIVE BLOODSHED WILL FOLLOW — SOMETHING THAT NOBODY WANTS TO SEE!”

2. The negotiation is expected to take no more than three days. 

3. Dermer, Kushner, and Witkoff will arrive on Wednesday/Thursday to hopefully finalize the deal. 

4. Then, if an agreement is signed, the countdown of the 72 hours for the return of the hostages will come into effect

5. Which brings us to around 10/12

- C14 news: It is highly likely that the living hostages in Israel have received information about the possibility of their imminent release. Additionally, it has been decided that Minister Ron Dermer will indeed join the delegation leaving tomorrow for Sharm El-Sheikh—an indication of the seriousness of the negotiations (this is the first time Dermer is joining talks abroad and not supervising them from Israel).

- Israeli sources: "It will take 2-3 days to understand if there is a deal. The map presented is 'the final map' from our perspective and it includes Israeli security interests."

- Hamas source: "We passed to the mediators a list of the dead and living hostages to present it to Israel, which knows exactly how many we are holding." The United States guarantees that our leaders will not suffer any harm. The negotiation will be quick and intense, and it is in our interest to carry it out quickly."

-A source in Hamas to Al-Arabiya: We have started collecting the deceased Israeli hostages and requested to stop the bombings to complete the mission. The release of the living hostages will be done in one stage; handing over the deceased ones will take some time

- President Trump: If Hamas does not give up control in Gaza, it will be completely destroyed

- Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "We are the closest we have been in a long time to the release of all the hostages."Meetings are currently taking place between Israel and Hamas”I hope to reach a deal very quickly. Hams has, in principle, agreed on what will happen in Gaza after the war. The stage of disarming Hamas is going to be difficult.

- Netanyahu: “If the deadline set by President Trump does not result in the release of the hostages, Israel will return to fighting with full backing from all involved countries."

- Netanyahu: “The Palestinian Authority will not control Gaza the day after. No representative of Hamas and no representative of the Palestinian Authority will be involved in controlling the Strip."

-Giyus: For the first time, the IDF’s new Chashmonaim Brigade for ultra-Orthodox troops is operating in the Gaza Strip as a battalion-level combat team, the military says.

- A joint statement from the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar: "We welcome the steps taken by Hamas regarding the proposal of U.S. President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza, to release all hostages, both alive and deceased, and to immediately begin negotiations to agree on implementation mechanisms"

- Netanyahu to the members of the "Heroism Forum" in their meeting: "We will not move to any of the 21 clauses in the plan until the first clause - the release of all the hostages, living and dead, until the last hostage, all of them, have not crossed into Israeli territory, we will not move to any other clause
