President Biden welcomed the deal in a statement that also thanked the leaders of Qatar and Egypt for their efforts in the negotiations. The deal “should bring home additional American hostages,” he said.
Three Americans — two women and a girl — are expected to be among those released in the first wave of hostages, a senior Biden administration official told The Washington Post.
At least 12 people were killed in the bombing of the Indonesian Hospital, and dozens were injured, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which said it would work with the Red Cross to evacuate those stranded there. The Israel Defense Forces said militants opened fire on its troops from within the hospital. It said the troops retaliated but no shells were fired toward the facility. The Post could not independently verify either side’s claims.
More than 11,100 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Health Ministry, which said on Nov. 10 that it could no longer provide an updated count because of the intensity of fighting in the enclave and repeated communication breakdowns. At least 1,200 people were killed in Israel in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack.
