Israeli Hostage Release Set to Take Place in Three Stages within Gaza, IPBC Confirms
The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation( IPBC) has reported that Israeli hostages held in Gaza are set to be released in a precisely coordinated three-stage operation. The exchange is being carried out with the involvement of transnational intercessors.
According to IPBC, the release will be done in phases at designated locales within the Gaza Strip.
Each group of hostages will be attended at pre-agreed handover points, where representatives from transnational organisations and agreement brigades will take charge before transferring the individuals into Israeli homes.
“IPBC clarified that each stage will involve transporting a group of hostages to agreed-upon handover points, where they will be transferred to representatives of international and mediation parties before being moved into Israeli territory.”
Israeli authorities have reportedly completed all logistical and security arrangements to ensure the operation proceeds easily.
Security measures have been corroborated along the routes, reflecting the high precedence placed on the safety of all involved.
The step-by-step handover underscores the complexity of the charge. The phased approach is designed to minimise pitfalls and allow close supervision at every stage. Officers have said that transnational intercessors will be present throughout the process.
“IPBC reported that the release of the Israeli hostages will take place in three consecutive stages at specific points inside the Gaza Strip, in accordance with the existing coordination between the parties involved in implementing the exchange agreement.”
This development comes amid ongoing pressures in the region, where the release of hostages has been a long-standing point of concession.
Now, Hamas has released seven hostages as part of the Trump-brokered Gaza peace initiative, highlighting the progress of the current agreement.

Analysts say that the successful completion of the operation could mark a significant step towards stabilising relations, at least temporarily, between Israel and the Gaza-based authorities.
