    Dang, finally, 50 is still small amount but hopefully this lead to more. More importantly is the flow of humanitarian aid

    Israeli media said the first release of hostages was expected on Thursday. Implementing the deal must wait for 24 hours to give Israeli citizens the chance to ask the Supreme Court to block the release of Palestinian prisoners, reports said.

    Wouldn’t that break the truce??
