Israel-Hamas deal to free hostages from Gaza won’t end the torment for families on either side of this war | World News<\/p>\n

What was most striking about the Qatari announcement was the lack of information about the Palestinians who are going to be released as part of this exchange.<\/p>\n

The Qataris didn’t have much to say about their Arab brothers and sisters who will be released. All the focus was on Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n

If all goes to plan 4pm local time (2pm UK time) tomorrow, 13 Israelis will be released by Hamas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The group seized them on 7 October as it slaughtered 1,200 people and has held them hostage in Gaza<\/strong> since – against all the rules of war.<\/p>\n

They will be women and children. We know that much.<\/p>\n

Israel-Gaza latest: How truce tomorrow will work<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Qataris say the priority is getting families out, meaning mothers and children. Their relatives are being told this evening.<\/p>\n

It will be an agonising wait for the phone to ring. It is impossible to imagine the mental torture they have been living through on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Their relatives have been taken by thugs who’ve burned down homes, murdered the elderly and very young, and raped festival-goers.<\/p>\n

The exchange arrangement<\/strong> has been planned to operate day by day. That is a further layer of torment for the families.<\/p>\n

Every morning another list of names, every day an anxious wait to see if the ceasefire remains in place.<\/p>\n

Every report of a shelling or explosion is a cause for worry.<\/p>\n

What is still unclear is how the exchange works. We know the time the Israelis will be released. But soon after that the Palestinians? That is unclear.<\/p>\n

The Qataris could not say that, or exactly how many Palestinian prisoners the Israelis will release from their jails.<\/p>\n

Will they need to wait for Israel to identify each hostage and make sure they’re fit and well?<\/p>\n

A list of 300 Palestinians – candidates for the exchange – has been released by Israel<\/strong>. Most are teenage boys, just 10% women. Sky News has taken a close look at the names.<\/p>\n

There is a huge controversy in Israel over the list. They are regarded as terrorists with blood on their hands.<\/p>\n

Families of some of their victims have expressed their outrage in interviews and have reportedly been urged to desist by Israeli authorities.<\/p>\n

Palestinians will see the released prisoners as heroes.<\/p>\n

Some of them have attacked soldiers and police officers – instruments of Israel’s 57-year occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem – in the past.<\/p>\n

Palestinians also regard attacks on Israeli settlers living in those areas in the same vein.<\/p>\n

There are reports the IDF has visited the homes of Palestinians who may be released to warn against celebrations.<\/p>\n

Previous homecomings have seen huge crowds, fireworks and guns being fired into the air.<\/p>\n

Israeli authorities in the West Bank will be keen to avoid that at such a febrile time.<\/p>\n

There are many moving parts to this truce – each one of them grounds for argument and disagreement.<\/p>\n

But there are also powerful parties overseeing the process – the Egyptians, the Americans, the Qataris.<\/p>\n

The hope is their involvement will overcome any difference and between them they can steer this truce for as long as possible, releasing as many hostages as they can.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
