The brother-in-law of an Israeli hostage, Omri Miran, expressed cautious optimism regarding the potential ceasefire-hostage deal between Hamas and Israel. Moshe Lavi stated that despite being close to reaching a deal since May, there have been ongoing delays, making it challenging to be overly optimistic. Lavi mentioned that the initial phase of the agreement is expected to involve the release of 33 hostages, prioritizing vulnerable groups such as children, women, the elderly, and the sick.
However, Lavi indicated that his brother-in-law might not be among the first group to be released, as there are additional phases that need to be discussed. Many families of hostages are seeking a comprehensive agreement that ensures the safe return of all hostages within a specified timeframe.
