In the Middle East, the exchange of hostages and prisoners between Israel and Hamas, scheduled for Thursday, November 23, has been postponed. But why did it get to this point? According to some sources, the delay in the release of the Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas was due to disagreements over the location of their handover. The Wall Street Journal reports this. According to the American newspaper, Israel would like the prisoners to be handed over to the Red Cross and then transferred to their homeland, while Hamas would like to hand them over directly to Egypt.
Meanwhile, Cairo authorities received a list of the names of the first 10 hostages expected to be released by Hamas while negotiations to implement the agreement continue. The Wall Street Journal also reported this, citing an Egyptian official.
