Hamas releases first three Israeli hostages, Biden: Now it's up to Trump to
Joe Biden

After 471 days in captivity, three hostages were freed by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on the first day of a ceasefire with Israel. Hamas agreed to release three women on the first day, while a convoy of trucks carrying aid for Palestinians began entering Gaza from Egypt on the same day. The agreement came into effect on Monday after a last-minute delay by Hamas that pushed the start of the ceasefire by nearly three hours and highlighted its fragility.

The first three hostages that the Palestinian group Hamas released are: Emily Damari, 28, a British-Israeli citizen, kidnapped from her apartment in the 'Kfar Aza' neighborhood.

Doron Steinbrecher, 31, kidnapped in the same neighborhood as Ms. Damari, and Romi Gonen, 24, kidnapped while attending a festival.

Four more women are expected to be released on the seventh day of the deal. As part of the first phase of the deal, over 30 hostages are expected to be released within six weeks in exchange for dozens of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

The agreement also allowed aid trucks to enter the Gaza Strip. Trucks carrying aid deemed desperately needed by Palestinians entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing from Egypt.

US President Joe Biden welcomed the release of the hostages and the start of the ceasefire agreement.

"The agreement that I first presented last May has finally come into effect. The ceasefire has come into effect in Gaza and we are seeing the release of hostages. Three Israeli women were released today, after seven days four more are being released. After that, hostages are being released every seven days, including two American citizens," he declared.

Biden told reporters he was pleased that his team and President-elect Trump's team spoke with one voice in the final days of his presidency to help finalize the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal.

"I am pleased that our team was able to speak with one voice in recent days. It was both necessary, effective and unprecedented, but success will require perseverance and continued support for our friends in the region and confidence in diplomacy. It is now up to the next administration to help implement this agreement," Biden said.

Sunday marks the last day of the Biden administration, as President-elect Donald Trump is expected to be sworn in the next day.
