Monday, November 27, the final round of hostage releases, provided for in the initial agreement between Israel and Hamas, is expected. Guest of 12/13 info, Vincent Lemire, historian, specialist in the Middle East, looks back on the process of freeing the hostages.
Guest of 12/13 info, Monday November 27, Vincent Lemire, historian, specialist in the Middle East and author of the comic strip History of Jerusalem, comments on the release of the hostages. According to him, it is important to remember that “last Thursday, we were waiting for the first release, it was postponed by 24 hours”just like on Saturday evening, there was “an hour and a half behind the second group, because Hamas was asking for guarantees on humanitarian aid, etc.”
A guarantee of seriousness and credibility
The historian considers “that this tension, this fragility in the process is also a guarantee of seriousness and credibility. Each party wants to verify that it sees itself in a certain way in the deal. What is certain is that more it will advance, the more complicated it will be. Because there, it is the women and the children (…) when we get to the men and the soldiers, there, it will be much more complicated, but it will have more price on both sides.” According to him, “everyone has an interest in this truce continuing (…) everyone, except Netanyahu, in any case except his far-right ministers, who are opposed to this agreement.”
