The terrorist group Hamas offered the Israeli government to release some of the 203 hostages captured by the terrorist group in exchange for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, according to the British network BBC. Members involved in the negotiation would still be discussing the agreement.
The hostages were captured by members of Hamas during the surprise attack carried out by the group on October 7.
That day, at least 1,500 terrorists from the terrorist group broke the blockade of the Gaza Strip and infiltrated southern Israel, where they carried out massacres and kidnapped people. The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it had not received information about Brazilian hostages.
By early afternoon this Friday (20), the conflict had left 5,537 people dead. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of people who lost their lives in the Gaza Strip rose from 3,785 to 4,137.
International humanitarian aid will be able to enter the Gaza Strip from Egypt “tomorrow [sábado] or later”, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, said this Friday. US President Joe Biden had announced that the first 20 trucks loaded with food, water and medicine would cross the border and enter the Gaza Strip this Friday.
“We are in intense and advanced negotiations with all relevant parties to ensure that the Gaza relief operation begins as quickly as possible,” Griffiths said, as quoted by a spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha). in Geneva.
