He did not say how many people would be released and declined to confirm a report that the process would begin at 5am (3am GMT).<\/p>\n<p>But Israeli politician Ben Gvir said the release of the hostages sets a<span>\u00a0&#8216;dangerous precedent&#8217; that could play into the hands of the terrorists. The far-right politician said the deal, which will see 150 Palestinians released in exchange for 50 hostages, gives Hamas terrorists everything they wanted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Israel&#8217;s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoned his war cabinet last night where he demanded they support the temporary pause in fighting &#8211; that could begin within 24 hours &#8211; after the US and Qatar spent weeks thrashing out the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the agreement, Hamas is to free 50 women and children of the around 240 hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip over a four-day period &#8211; extended by an additional day for every 10 hostages released,\u00a0the Israeli government said.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas is to release 12 Israeli women and children every night for four days. In return, Israel will free 150 Palestinians held in Israeli jails and\u00a0allow 300 aid trucks into Gaza every day of the ceasefire to get much needed aid to civilians trapped there.<\/p>\n<p>It was not immediately clear exactly who will be released from Gaza.

But I don&#8217;t want to get into the details of things because nothing is done until it&#8217;s done.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>Details emerge about frantic efforts behind Hamas-Israel truce deal<\/h3>\n<p>A US official has said a secret cell headed by CIA and Mossad chiefs, and multiple contacts between Biden and leaders of Israel, Qatar, and Egypt, underpinned an &#8216;excruciating&#8217; five weeks resulting in the deal between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>In a detailed account to reporters by the senior US official &#8211; speaking on condition of anonymity &#8211; a picture has emerged of a tense international effort beset by sudden communication cutoffs with Hamas, disputes over hostage lists, and safety concerns on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The US official said the &#8216;extremely excruciating five-week process&#8217; of negotiations began with a call from Qatar to Washington and the Israelis, in a bid to free some of the hostages snatched by Hamas on October 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Qatar, which brokered the agreement, &#8216;asked that a cell be established to work on the issue very carefully, very secretly, together with the Israelis&#8217;, the US official said.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar hosts a Hamas political office, and has behind-the-scenes diplomatic links with Israel. It is also home to the largest US military base in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Biden administration officials were having &#8216;daily, sometimes hourly, senior level of engagement with Qatar, with Egypt and with Israel on the issue of the hostages,&#8217; according to the official.<\/p>\n<p>The president himself entered the talks, holding Zoom calls with families of victims on October 13, followed by his visit to Israel five days later.<\/p>\n<p>The release of two American citizens on October 20 was seen as &#8216;a pilot process&#8217; for the overall negotiations, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We were able to track, kind of in real time, the (hostages) as they moved from Gaza, ultimately across the border and into freedom,&#8217; the American said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their safe return &#8216;gave us some confidence that&#8230; Qatar really could deliver through the cell that we had established.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Soon Mossad director David Barnea and CIA chief William Burns were also deeply involved in the process.<\/p>\n<p>A flurry of phone calls between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu followed on October 20, 22, 23 and 25.<\/p>\n<p>Biden &#8216;was engaged daily as extremely difficult talks and proposals were traded back and forth,&#8217; the official said, noting that discussions centered around transportation corridors, surveillance and timeframes.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas came under intense pressure to produce a list of hostages.<\/p>\n<p>Communication proved difficult as messages had to pass from Doha or Cairo into Gaza and back. Hamas often uses hand-written notes to communicate in order to avoid detection by Israel&#8217;s advanced spy network.<\/p>\n<p>By October 25, Hamas was saying it could guarantee about 50 releases in the first phase, but their formal list came up short: just 10 names.<\/p>\n<p>On November 9, the CIA&#8217;s Burns rushed to Doha to help thrash out a deal text, but the identification of hostages remained a sticking point.<\/p>\n<p>Biden called the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, on November 12 and &#8216;made very clear that where we were was not enough,&#8217; the US official said.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, &#8216;Hamas produced the identifying criteria for the 50 hostages.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As Israel&#8217;s bombing of Gaza intensified and civilian deaths soared, Biden called Netanyahu on November 14 urging him to &#8216;move forward with this deal,&#8217; and the prime minister ultimately agreed, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>But suddenly, with a deal in sight that day, &#8216;everything stalled again,&#8217; the US official said. Hamas had broken off talks.<\/p>\n<p>Biden called the Qatari emir on November 17, according to the official, to make clear the deal &#8216;had to close.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Two days later, the Americans met with Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel and received assurances from Hamas &#8216;closing the gaps,&#8217; the US official said. &#8216;For the first time (they) really see this coming together.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>Reporting by AFP\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/22\/01\/78076999-12776701-Smoke_and_flame_rise_in_Gaza_seen_from_Sderot_Israel_as_Israeli_-a-118_1700615405076.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Smoke and flame rise in Gaza seen from Sderot, Israel, as Israeli attacks continue on the 46th day of the war<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/22\/01\/78077009-12776701-Portraits_of_Israeli_hostages_held_in_Gaza_since_the_October_7_a-a-119_1700615405076.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Portraits of Israeli hostages held in Gaza since the October 7 attack by Hamas militants in Tel Aviv<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/22\/01\/78076565-12776701-Gil_Dickmann_left_watches_as_Hen_Avigdori_centre_speaks_against_-a-111_1700615405074.jpg\" height=\"359\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gil Dickmann (left) watches as Hen Avigdori (centre) speaks against the proposed legislation.
