Welcome to the France 24 Debate. We are examining the deal that will bring home at least 50 hostages held by Hamas. It includes a 4 day cease fire. Those who are to be released are women and children.
Just to remind you, Israel’s military says there are 236 hostages in captivity, some reports still cite 250 as the number held.
They were all snatched during the Hamas cross border raids on October 7th. At the same time horrific atrocities were committed on what were mostly Israeli civilians.
The human cost of the Israel-Hamas War has already seen over 14,000 Palestinian civilians killed, among that number there are some 6,000 children. These figures come from the Hamas run Gaza Health Ministry.
They also run the hospitals that have been targeted by Israel’s military who say Hamas operatives and control centres are based underneath them in the much talked about tunnels.
