waiting for a truce any minute now, we may know when the positive fighting between israel and hamas will begin and also when the hostages will start being released after being held captive for nearly seven weeks by hamas. >> officials are saying a fiery explosion at a ridge between the u.s. and canada that shut down border crossings has no link 20 the terror threat. start mac -- former obama administration official accused of stalking a food vendor, i'm kate baldwin with danny freeman. this is a special edition of cnn news central. we are standing by right now for what could be the final word on when the hostage agreement entries will begin. it was suddenly delayed yesterday and there's been true confusion around it ever since. here looking live with the press conference, where the press conference will be starting any moment in qatar where qatari officials who have been key brokers in these negotiations will be giving that update, the word from the white house is final logistics are still being hammered out, as sources also say u.s. officials do have a working list of 10 hostages they believe will likely be released first. >> in gaza, israeli airstrikes continued to bombard the area, the idf says 300 targets were struck in the past 24 hours. just outside of gaza, aid trucks are lining up in preparation for this truce. this large convoy is right now at the roth crossing. this prolongs the anguish of hostage families and the suffering of gazans desperate for aid. >> caitlin collins is standing by in tel aviv, we have been talking about this since yesterday, last night, now this morning. we are going to hear from qatari officials right now, what do you hear about this delay? and what is next? >> 24 hours ago, we were under the impression by the time we were back on the show, this delay would already -- this pause would already be underway, hostages would be starting to be released, right now none of that has happened. no aid has gone into gaza, we are still waiting to see when this is going to begin, we do know right now as there has been a delay and we are told we are not expecting any hostages to be released until friday at the earliest, that's about a 24 hour delay from when we initially believe that was going to happen, this also came down late last night in a word from the national security council here who said no, this is not going to happen on thursday as many israeli officials have been expecting and that came not long after we heard from the prime minister himself, defending the steal saying it was a tough choice for them to make to release 150 palestinian prisoners in exchange for these 15 hostages, justifying why they were taking this move. now it has not happened yet, there's no reason to believe the entire dear -- deal has been derailed. that's a crucial point, we talk about those families who are basically waiting every single moment to find out when and if it'll be their loved one who was on that list of names, that list on who was initially going to be released was a sticking point. they have not turned over to israeli officials, whether or not that has happened in the last hours is still something that remains to be seen, we have not heard any confirmation . that's why this press conference we are waiting for is okay because it could give us a good indication of when this could potentially happen if it is still on track to happen on friday at the very least given the qatari has been the one at the center of all these negotiations between hamas and israel for the steal, something that has been painstaking and intensive and weeks in the works, we are also on the ground in tel aviv, i think this is a major question if this is going down on friday, what this tactically and operationally is going to look like. >> first and what this is all predicated upon is a pause in fighting, the troops in israel will take defensive positions, we expect after about 40 something days of war, nearing the seven week mark, there will be for the first time a stop in fighting. once that is established by both sides, the hostage release itself begins. from everything we understand, the framework has not changed even if they hammer out the last details, the framework is the release of 50 israeli women and children held in gaza over the course of four days in exchange for 150 palestinian women who will be released, they will likely go home to where they are in the occupied west bank in jerusalem, hamas will transfer the hostages to the red cross on the ground, the red cross will then bring the hostages to one of several crossing points between either gaza and egypt, that's where we saw the hostages come out at the beginning, four who came out early on or cross street into israel from gaza. from there, they will be taken into the care of the idf, soldiers will get them to hospitals and depending on their age, that will determine how quickly they meet their family, 12 years or younger will immediately meet their family. hostages over the age of 12 will be taken to the hospital and that is where they will meet their family. as is the case right now, there is no final word on when this all happens, the expectation is not sooner than tomorrow. israel not being very careful as we wait on the foreign ministry to hold a conference and say when they expect us to begin very difficult moment for the families who has been this close before only to see things fall apart and here they are for what is assigned deal moving forward, still waiting to find out who's coming out, when they are coming out, and how long until their pain ends. >> we went from having israeli officials giving us pretty specific time windows of 10 to 14 p.m. when these hostages will be coming out, this speaks to how fluid all this is behind the scenes, the other point of confusion is the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu spoke saying the red cross will be involved here, the red cross is coming out today saying they have no idea what the israeli government is talking about, they have not come to any agreement on being involved. >> there's quite a bit of confusion, at this point it is pretty much the final word of the red cross who says they have not been notified of their role in this agreement, then the prime minister benjamin netanyahu at his press conference not only spoke about this, he pulled out a document that appeared to be the agreement itself and a red one of the closet saying the red cross will visit the other hostages who do not come out, it is quite shocking to hear the confidence with which he expressed that, then having the red cross saying they do not know what this entails, that will have to be clarified at the rate this is going, it will have to be clarified very quickly, under international law, the red cross is supposed to be able to visit hostages. >> that is a key part of this for those of the who will not be released at the moment we are standing by to hear back from his qatari officials any moment now, as we wait for them, hopefully give some indication of the timing, we are also tracking the latest from the white house, we heard that israel had not gotten a list from hamas of exactly what the names were going to be, the white house had a bit of a working list of who they did expect to be on this list. were white house officials equally surprised about the delay in implementing this hostage deal? >> what i can tell you right now is not the white house still says the deal is still on, we saw the national security council saying last night that they were hopeful the implementation would begin at least starting on friday. what a senior u.s. official tomley is the logistical details that need to be ironed out included the details about the specific location of some of these hostages and just the logistics surrounding moving each of these hostages on day one, we were also told israel made the decision with qatar and egypt and the u.s. was consulted and agreed with this decision to delay the release by at least a day. regarding your reporting about hamas has yet to give a list, a finalist of the initial group of hostages that would be released on day one. the senior u.s. official says for now they do not see this has been a serious problem but importantly, they did say if there's still no list by tonight that there would be a lot more worrisome. >> that is something they said they expect to get only hours before the release, we will see if that happens tonight. mj lee, thank you. we are waiting for this press conference to start, it has started in arabic and they will switch to english. that's where we will take it, we want to hear these updates, what indication they have, and what it could mean for the families of hostages. we did hear from the israeli prime minister, he's meeting with the british defense minister david cameron during his meeting. he's meeting not only with israeli leaders but palestinian leaders, he's talking about the challenges of getting these hostages home which clearly we are watching have been in real time are now. >> even yesterday when benjamin netanyahu talked about this deal, he did not give any specifics on when the hostages would be released, when the pause in fighting would begin. he was asked about how the pause in fighting would work and was specifically asked what happens when a soldier is shot at. he's being very cautious with his wording especially now since we have seen the delay and it should be worth noting it seems israel was very much expecting this to happen today because the government press offerings -- office, was preparing a room for journalists to view video out of there, israel also expected this to come tomorrow, now benjamin netanyahu being very careful in his wording talking about the challenges and final details, the framework has long been as we know it the 50 for 150 more aid going to gaza, we have known this for quite some time. it is the details and final details and who is released, how exactly they come out, location, routes, crossing sites. the final decision to delay it was a decision made by israel, qatar, and egypt. >> we are now hearing from the spokesperson for the qatari foreign ministry of affairs office speaking in english, i want to take that moment live. >> end >> friday, the 24th of november and they have a course agreed for four days, the 7 a.m. , the friday for four days, the first patch of civilians, to be released from them will be around 4:00 p.m. of the same day. it will be a number of women and children, those hostages are from the same family and will be put together within the same patch every day and will include a number of civilians has agreed to total 50 within four days, communications that took place in meetings that took place also yesterday went on to early morning today with the egyptians and the conflict. the meetings went very well and positive environment, there is also of course the implementation plan of the agreement which we always said it needs to be something concrete and ready to create a safe environment for the release of the hostages. >> here's what i have right now, i will be taking questions. >> >> translator: commitment , we've got interest and of course will be communicating with both parties. of course, they will be responsible for the level of commitment, becky? >> what is the process and route by which the hostages will be transferred? >> i cannot disclose information for security reasons , we have always said our main objective here is safety. we cannot disclose information regarding those, we will be focusing on making sure they get there safely and making sure through our operations room, that we will work with the red cross and the parties of the conflict that all information is in real time and everybody is getting the information so we can move them safely from one place to another. >> the criteria on which to prioritize hostages was merely communicated, as you know, keeping women and children's out of harms way as soon as possible which is what we are doing with this agreement, we will be going through hopefully the momentum carried by this deal would help us get everybody out in time. at the same time, lessen the hardship on the people when this is taking place. as we talked about, there is a humanitarian aid, it's an integral part of the deal, they will start at 7:00 a.m. so we are expected to go in as soon as possible, in coalition with the egyptians and all international -- it is coming in through the crossing as soon as we have a period of calm were even workers would be safe going in. it would be a fraction of the need, the need is so great that no matter how much aid you will bring in, there will be certainly more need for aid. we are hoping to bring in as much as possible within the confines of the deal. of course, our aim is for this deal to end with a lasting truce, right now of course the confines of this deal are these four days that are subject to a second day in the following phases of expanding the pause through the formula of getting more hostages out and therefore getting more time, we are hoping that moment him would carry and we would find this would open the door for more negotiations towards an end to the -- [ speaking in non-english ] >> translator: from an airport , land, and this is what the two parties have agreed to. so that the whole air is completely clear for the hostages to be delivered. are you from the era btv? we cannot have a violation from either party. what will happen and is there any measures in place to deal with this on the other hand, regarding the palestinian release. who is going to receive them and who is going to deal with and investigate them? dealings with israeli intelligence, will there be allowance for medical teams to go into gaza to deal with the injured? the details of the agreement, i don't wish to go into details as i have said before. this is something where we need to have it implemented on the ground. we hope that there will be commitment from both sides, the two parties of the conflict are committed and they will adhere to the agreement in this respect. as far as medical teams are concerned, of course all the types of aids will be allowed into gaza. the nature and details of this is in the agreement, and then there are really personnel. we will talk about details. >> thank you, andrew mills. could you please specify whether at 7:00 a.m. local time in gaza and my main question is the release of palestinians from israeli jails. how many palestinians will be released tomorrow, where will they be released and can you tell us more details about who they are? >> at 7:00 a.m. local time, not international timing. at 7:00 a.m. local time, i cannot disclose right no information about how many of them will be freed tomorrow but i can tell you that the deal that is a separate deal. we expected to happen on the israeli side tomorrow. >> we are expecting a release tomorrow. >> as a result of the release of hostages of the 4:00 p.m.. stephen? >> thank you, i wanted to ask about the red cross, red crescent, will they be accompanying the hostages out throughout gaza or meeting them at the edge of gaza? will they be able to visit the hostages not being released, i know that was being discussed. just following becky's question, have specific evacuation routes been set? can you talk about them without compromising or sharing detail, will hostages be leaving directly into israel or potentially through rough on? >> regarding the red cross and -- they have been designated to receive the hostages and we cannot discuss the details on where this would happen, as i said, they are part of the operations. we appreciate of course all the work that the red cross is doing, they are taking rescue with their own staff, they will be an integral part of handling hostages, i cannot get into the details of that. i also cannot get into details on where they are leaving or where they will be coming out. a lot of things on the ground will effects this, the important thing is we maintain a clear line of communication with everybody throughout the affirmation -- operation. the environment in which the hostages will be in is a safe one, and we guarantee safety for all of them. i don't have an update on this right now, i'm sorry. >> translator: question regarding the negotiations today, the truce will last for four days. the question regarding the palestinian prisoners, is there any synchronicity between the release of both sides? regarding the extension of the truce, they use this period of four days in order to have more informages that were in gaza that may lead to another agreement to release more hostages. this is four days extendable, dependent on the progress. the other question please? i cannot give you information regarding this matter, however, it is expected that the exchange will be within a certain period of time. >> we saw this morning israel arrested the of the al-shifa hospital in gaza, was this mentioned in today's discussions or are there -- is it going to be mentioned in future discussions? >> i'm not aware of this specific case so i cannot comment on it, sorry. >> thank you. >> translator: for the release, age coming in and also the cease-fire. in respect of a comprehensive cease-fire, it is just going to be regarding it -- it would be a comprehensive cease-fire in gaza. whether north or south, regarding the aids. kane will be coming immediately , this starts from the rafah crossing. our brothers in egypt are taking care of this and that help in this respect. we hope this will have as much help as possible and as much aid as possible. all these aids even -- if they all come in one day, they will not be sufficient for the needs of gaza. help to continue with this. >> thank you, can you walk us through how we expect things to progress from 4:00 p.m. on words. is there a number of hostages who will be a part of the first transfer, what should we expect to see in next 24 hours after that? >> it will be 13 individuals of women and children. some of them are women, some are children as we have stated. he will be released approximately 4:00 p.m. as you might expect. it's not an exact science and they will not have moving parts on the ground. ultimately 4:00 p.m. and that will be happening everyday within a specific window of time where the situation will be much safer for them to move about, they will be as i said helped by the red cross, i will not get into details but the idea is to make the transfer as safe as possible for all parties. we have to remember this is a war zone and we need to make sure this is where the discussion yesterday went into early this morning to make a plan for the invitation of this agreement. a lot of problems with the release itself. >> the release will be having at 4:00 p.m. each day. >> only have the timing for the first day, then every day. the list that was on exchange will be on thursday. >> what would constitute a break in this truce, a breaking of this truce? we are talking about a truce on the ground and as i understand it in the air. as you described, what will be seen as a breakdown in that? >> i don't think i can get into technicalities on the ground of course, this is to be handled by people who were there on the ground. what i can tell you is that the agreement is about full secession of hostility between the four days. the presumption of hostilities of any time, i think it is very important that lines of communication remain open so that any possible breach however it is defined is communicated immediately to both sides and there is a way to walk back from it and make sure we continue. >> just a second question, can you just give us some sense about why we have seen delays, hamas or israel has made further demands further to what was in the proposal that was agreed upon 24 hours ago? are you expecting any further delays? >> we are hoping we do not see any delays, we have reached a point now where everything is in place and you are ready to go on the ground, we are hopeful that as i told you, by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow everything will stop and we have the beginning of humanitarian truce. when it comes to the reasons, i can tell you the discussion of details and schematics of how this will happen are very difficult and to make sure that nothing would cause harm. the parameters are being agreed upon. discussions between both sides, we're happy to say they have been in a positive environment where both sides showed their commitment to the agreement itself. >> any further demands? >> i'm not aware of any further demands in the delay, i told you the agreement is still as it stands and as was agreed upon from day one. [ speaking in non-english ] >> translator: have you noticed any desire for a continued and sustainable truce ? in respect of this agreement, it is only limited to the gaza strip. with your partners, hamas israeli authorities. we have not expanded into other parties. this is a particular concern with gaza and everything in gaza. is there any desire from the two we have seen a level of commitment from the two parties. what will happen after this i don't know. our aim is to reach this agreement and on the hope this would be an incentive to finish this case which everybody suffers from him. this cannot be achieved except through building up on what we have achieved already. are you of the arabi tv ? is it easy to implement this agreement to stop the airstrikes, this is in the north but in the software we have the snipers, tanks, army. has there been any agreement into the stop, and have you made -- have you defined the borders between these people as to when they asked sonoma can cross the borders between one and the other regarding the spying aircraft's. are these going to be in existence through the truce? in respect of north of gaza, as you know, we cannot talk about any military movement because this is a sensitive topic. there is agreement to have a comprehensive cease-fire regarding the reconnaissance of crafts in israeli forces have agreed that there are certain times that reconnaissance will not be implemented. there is a comprehensive cease- fire. >> in the process of making sure that the deal was -- the logistics in the schematics as he described were completely in place for things to go forward today, did you feel things were put in place for as this scheme continues in the way that it has been laid out for more releases over the following days? are you still confident that will be able to happen? >> we are hopeful. i don't know about confident, and the commitment we have seen from both sides leads us to a very positive ways to deal with this positively. we are seeing a level of commitment over it itself, the executive plan of this agreement it is all very sound and robust. we are hoping these four days work as a proof of concept in de-escalation measures including expanding, extending this humanitarian pause. it is a more sustainable truce. i have to remind everybody that we all know this, covering complex from the world. these are not set in stone. they are not completely guaranteed, anything could happen on the ground but we are confident with the agreement. the international and regional departments are working with us, everyone is highly committed. this actually constitutes the light at the end of the tunnel. hoping and working towards succeeding, the operation will run from here in the main purpose is to make sure that information is getting made in real time. any issue that comes up can be dealt with immediately not that i would escalate in a way that has the -- makes the whole deal collapse. stephen? >> one of the complications of the past 24 hours seems these lists of a small batch for each day, you receive -- do you expect there to be some of the complications? contentiousness around setting the list each day, each day, the lists need to be set for the next day. whether it's 5:00 p.m. it the joan surveillance, we understand that the joan surveillance during a certain part of the day. is this also a balance, we understand americans and maybe some europeans have drones in the area. >> regarding list going down, it is a day by day process, we will hand them over on the israeli side to the -- they will handle the lists from their side too. this is where we can begin with the process. this is agreement by the time. each day released, that of course is as i said, this coming in. the timeline and the operational plan, not necessarily any fault. i can tell you why i have been on the team as late as 2:00 a.m. today, and at 4:00 p.m. today to make sure everything happened as quickly as possible. i have interest to delay the beginning of this agreement, and the humanitarian -- every moment that goes by transfers to a life lost. this would guarantee the safety. guaranteeing the hostages and safety of the truce itself. >> are those whose names are on the list alive? >> those will be released, we have confirmation that those will be released are all in good health. andrew? >> thank you. beyond this first group of 50 hostages or so that we expect to be released in this first four days, has hamas provided you a more comprehensive list of the hostages that they do have? have they gathered more hostages than 50, how many hostages do we expect there are alive in gaza now. >> i cannot comment on the numbers, we do not have verifiable information on hostages and their status at the moment. i can tell you that one of the things we are looking to happen during the four days of pause is to collect more information on hostages. we did all the numbers and information, and the second wave hoping by the fourth day we were having an agreement in place. i forgot to answer the question on drones, i will tell you as you brightly mentioned there will be a period of time where the skies will be clear. it will happen in a safe environment. in this one, mediation, secured release of two american ladies pick one of the main challenges was the sounds coming in. mystic for an attack. yes, clear skies. >> translator: hamas regarding the -- the movement of people in north and south gaza. that's something we have not mentioned about this before. the israeli occupation let the aide and help go to the south of gaza. we don't have any details at the moment, thank you. from the qatar news agency. the seventh of october, qatar started communication with both parties. of this conflict, the last six weeks, negotiation with these parties, who have not had any rest from that point, it was continuous efforts and i speak on behalf of my colleagues. at the top of the pyramid, nobody has actually stopped or spurred any effort to reach this agreement from day one until today, we go through very difficult and very serious and critical moments. this has started from now, this guarantees piece but of course we want to exploit this in order to create even further atmosphere in order to reach better agreement and extend this agreement. >> we understand iran's foreign minister will visit qatar. could this be further talks, will it be mainly about gaza? do you see the cooperation of iran when it becomes to the need of an extended truce that could be a settlement. >> we have been in constant contact with all of our region. this would be the third visit, we discussed this over. complexities that would be the result are going to spell over, in the need for us to work together. that they return to peace in the region. we need to make sure these messages get across. >> the release of 50 hostages, has that been handed over to you and then you have the 13 aims to be released tomorrow? or have you just got the list of 13 for friday release? >> the list exchange today were of the -- those who will be exchange tomorrow. within the agreement, every day will include list. >> as i understand, you were anticipating as part of the agreement getting the full list of 50 hostages being held by hamas. >> we will be getting more information about all of them, and those not part of the deal, right now, the list being exchanged by both sides are the rest of the day. >> one other question too if you don't mind, benjamin netanyahu is very keen to point out that the u.s. president played a significant part in upping the number of hostages who have been released and lowering the cost of those releases to the israelis. can you comment on the role that the u.s. president has played? >> the prime minister has mentioned we are working very closely with the united states, we had the various delegations come here. we had secretary blinken, president biden has been calling on the -- we had conference calls between both sides to make sure we work together on this and appreciate of course the work done by the united states to make sure the deal comes to permission and we -- fruition. i cannot speak to the details on how the united states was formulated, i can tell you what's taking place all across the board. the israelis and americans working with them over the issue. >> translator: has there been an agreement as to the quantity of delivery and the shipments from rafah to gaza? how many fuel trucks, because these are very important to the hospital. regarding the aide, we will basically answer this at the time. this information regarding this at the moment. has the iranian foreign minister arrived? have you discussed with the run -- the northern frontier of israel, this is obviously going to be talked about, will there be any mediation in this respect? as i had mentioned, before the doctor, the iranian foreign minister would come to dough hard -- should you visit as i have. there will be a meeting between the two parties, i do not have any details about this meeting as i said, all of the parties in the region including -- they are trying to guarantee so that the crisis does not extend and of course the seriousness of the issue has been discussed. just to confirm, regarding the palestinian prisoners that will be released, will they have the freedom to go to their homes or do they have to go to certain areas and the mechanism of supervising this process, who is going to supervise this truce and -- palestinians, will they stop or is this that the truce has not gone into this? what is the fate of this detainees, the truce as i said on the go agreement was only to do with the escalation in gaza. the current escalation, and we knew this truce would lead into further discussions. the scope of this agreement is only to deal with the gaza strip. we do not have anything to confirm -- women and children are only going to be released on the other side too from israel. >> the way you would be monitoring this, are you setting up operations where you are looking at all the aspects of security and humanitarian of the deal. the moment you have to step in to say no, we have to put it this way. >> we are not on the ground which is always a handicap for overseeing it itself, happening right now. the operations -- direct lines of communications in hamas and with the israeli side. with the red cross all happening in real time, we are monitoring everything that happens. we talked about the hostages, any additional information we can relate between the three sides we are working with. egypt and internationally, including the united states so we can make sure that we immediately jump into continuing our mediation work. we troubleshoot any issue that might arrive on the ground. the operations room is very instrumental in working with those parties i mentioned -- we make sure the deal goes through the way it was agreed upon. >> the hostages being released, how many -- will be released tomorrow? >> i'm not aware of that piece of information right now. we come to you with it, it's a deal so expecting it at least a happen, and this will be announced in a similar timeframe. >> that list -- >> the list has been approved, given to both sides. the palestinians have one, and the israelis have a list of the hostages are too being released on the first day. >> i'm not sure why the number was not clear, the information i was briefed upon what the current situation, you have to allow me some leeway and not knowing everything. >> we were asking about earlier on, there's two proofs of concept of vessel -- effectively. the release of two female prisons, four prisoners have been released into separate releases. the icrc were operationalizing those releases, i know you cannot give us any detail on what is going to happen. you said that so is it going to be similar to or same as? >> i would imagine that as long as it is within the same perhap ters and same mechanisms, it will fall into the same mechanisms, but they are working with us in the operations room in realtime and people ready to receive the hostages, and i will have to stop at how the exchange will maintain to ensure the success and safety of the hostages as well. >> on behalf of the people on the room here and journalists around the world, access into gaza is limited to a very working journalists at present. this is a humanitarian pause and the possibility of it being extended, but any conversation to allow for the journalists to get into the ground, and you have expressed that you are not on the ground and it is difficult in and of itself in this humanitarian pause for this hostage release, and how about the journalists in on the ground, and have you got any organizations? >> i know that your respectable organization is to get people out and get to safety which is what we are working for mediation process, and i am not aware of the caveat of getting any journalists in. we applaud all of the coverage that the brave journalists have been doing inside and have given their lives, and give our condolences to them and their families and the organizations which they have given so long of a time. the bravery of those who brought us the truth from the field is something that we agree is all instances a level of bravery that a lot of us would not have. [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: i cannot comment on this. i don't know what is happening in rafah, and as i said before, now we are talking about what has been agreed upon for the lists of the people being released and until now i do not have any accurate detailsf what exactly is going to happen. what i can say is that the agreement happened between the two parties and what is going to happen on the first day. this is what the agreements cover. thank you very much and good-bye. we are hearing from the ministry of qatar that at midnight, this temporary truce between israel-hamas will begin. it is 7:00 a.m. local here, that the hostages, the first ones who are expected to be released will be release 9:00 a.m. eastern and 4:00 p.m. local. we are not told the names, but it is 13 women and children, and we are told that the list of the names, the first 13 hostages who are expected to be released by hamas on the first day of this temporary truce have been handed over to israel. that is something that the prime minister's office have confirmed they have received that list of names, and they have in turn have turned over their list of palestinian prisoners to be released from israel. the key list is that humanitarian aid to be surged through gaza is to go through the rafah crossing and the official is not putting an exact time on it, but it is a key part of this. and the pause of fighting, and the cessation of hostile tis to happen for four days straight is starting midnight eastern tonight, and 7:00 a.m. local. so we have been hearing the confirmation of when this deal is going to happen, and whether or not this deal would hold after some delays from both sides. cnn's oren liebermann is also here, and as we have been listening to the spokesman of qatar who has been the ep ster of the back and forth deal, and that is welcomed news for 240 families here in israel who are waiting to hear when their loved ones are going to be released, but m.j., what i heard is him confirming that israel has released the list of names which had been a holdup, and each day, they will trade names of who issing is fo issing to -- is going to be released the next day. >> he was confirming the framework and confirming the list of the first 13 women and children who are supposed to come out tomorrow afternoon 4:00 local time and this is effectively going to continue every day and a list of names to be provided, and the minister saying they have received the first list of names, and they are cross-checking list with what they know about the list of hostages who are in gaza, and in touch, and will be in touch with the families of the first 13 hostages to come out. the spokesperson of the qatari ministry said that the families will be together, and they will not be broken up, and he emphasized multiple times the commitment from both sides to adhere to terms of the agreement, the commitment of israel and hamas not to resume fighting, and he was asked, what if fighting does break out, and one side does violate the agreement, and hostilities, he said that would immediately be communicated to both sides to make sure there is a walk back from the edge and there is not an immediate deterioration in the situation. in terms of what the delay was about, he said, look, ongoing discussions late into the evening essentially to troubleshoot all of the scenarios that might arise is part of the delay and another part, as you said, they had not received the list of the first 13 to come out, and he asked if the release of the first 50 lead to wider agreement and is he confident it is, and he said hopeful, but he would not use the word confident there. so in what he is using to the initial agreement, and he said if we get to the fourth day and we have seen the agreement work as it should, the release of 50 israeli women and children for the 50 palestinian women and children in israeli jail, there could be a longer pause, and more aid going into gaza, and more hostages released and palestinian prisoners released as part of the agreement. >> and the red cross, oren, there was a question if it was egyptian officials or the red cross to be receiving the officials, and also, a question on the condition. he confirmed that all 13 women and children and as oren said some of them of the same family, they are all alive. there was a question of the condition. another thing, m.j., the u.s. has played a key thing is the drones flying over gaza has been giving israel key intelligencef where the hostage may be or hamas is operating, and there is a pause as the hostages are released, because it is clear skies over gaza, and no flying of the drones at least in some portion of the day as the temporary pause is going to be under way. >> i am struck from how much of this press conference we got confirmation of the parameters of this deal and how this would be implemented confirmed. in other words, yes, there has been a delay from thursday to friday, but as we understand it right now and based again on this press conference, the detailsf how this would be implemented appear to remain the same for now. i was really struck, kaitlan, the number of times that the spokesperson was talking about ensuring the safety of the hostages. this is a question that he got from our becky anderson, and other reporters in the room, and he essentially said, look, this is a part of the challenge in making sure that every detail of this implementation could be squared away, because remember, as he talked about, this is an active war zone, even though now there is a pause starting at midnight eastern, and this an active war zone, and not the mention the challenge of the hostages being in different places throughout gaza. they are not necessarily in one place. so this is something that we had heard from the u.s. officials as well that part of issue is the logistics surrounding location of each and every hostage, and also, their movement ensuring that can be done in a safe way. something else that i know that oren mentioned as well is that the spokesperson was talking about the next potential phase of getting
