WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Wednesday night after a seven-hour meeting, the Israeli Cabinet approved a deal that would see the release of at least 50 women and children held captive in Gaza since October 7th. During the attack, Hamas killed over 1,200 Jews and took another 239 women, children, elderly, and men hostage in the tunnels under Gaza where they have been for the past 46 days.
“The first hostages to be released are women and children,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
