The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has expressed its readiness to assist in implementing the ceasefire and hostage deal. ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric stated that they are prepared to facilitate any release operation as agreed by the parties to ensure the safe return of hostages and detainees to their homes.
In 2023, the ICRC played a crucial role in facilitating the release of 109 hostages and 154 Palestinian detainees. Spoljaric emphasized that such operations are complex and require detailed logistical and security planning to minimize risks to life.
