both on the release and to find out who exactly will be released, the idf is still striking gaza. more than 100 bodies were buried in a mass grave in khan younis. israel has detained the al shifa hospital director. >> reporter: we were expecting to see the first hostages emerging out of gaza today, but a last-minute snag means they're going to have to endure at least one more day of captivity. the white house is stressing this is only a delay and the agreement still holds. this morning, the guns in gaza were supposed to be silent. instead, the fighting continues, and so does the agonizing wait for the families of the hostages. >> nobody knows exactly who's included in the deal yet. >> reporter: both hamas and israeli officials had said the deal would start this morning, but overnight announcing a delay. the white house says it's down to final logistical details. seven members of gilad's family were kidnapped, including his granddaughter. if you could speak to your family now, what would you tell them? >> that i'd do anything. >> reporter: israel issuing guidelines for dealing with child hostages after their release, telling soldiers not to immediately answer questions about families. heartbreakingly relevant for 3-year-old american abigail, who may not know both her parents were murdered by hamas. she turns 4 years old on friday. as fighting rages in gaza, israel still under pressure to justify its raid on al shifa hospital, the military revealing more of the tunnels under the hospital which they say were operated by hamas. it comes as gaza residents also wait for a pause in strikes. but any ceasefire will come too late for more than 5,000 palestinian children killed so far according to the red crescent. it's unlikely displaced people will be able to return to their homes in gaza city. for the hostages, hope for freedom after six endless weeks in darkness. a senior u.s. official says the two sides are still negotiating the final logistics of the hostage handover, but we do expect to see these women and children passed from hamas to the red cross and then to israel's military. israel's prime minister says the red cross will for the first time get access to those hostages who are remaining in captivity. >> joining us is joel rubin, former assistant deputy secretary of state. i had an israeli spokesperson on a moment ago talking about how the holdup is all on hamas' end. what can we tell looking from the outside about why there was a delay before the release? >> delay because this is an incredibly complicated deal. this is one where hamas first and foremost is not in total control of all of the people w have been kidnapped. ey haven't even provided a detailed list of all the names. so to ensure they are providing 50 people is going to take a little bit of work on theirend. this is also spein to the broader problem, which is all of this cityn terms of dealing with the kidnapped israelis and third-country nationals is going to require extreme patience and not people popping off and criticizing it right away but giving it the time it needs to get these people out. >> what about the detaining of the al shifa hospital director? does that throw things into question? it feels like a provocative move. >> in the middle east, there's always going to be spoilers. this is another moment where each side can find reasons to blow up the deal or complain the other side is blowing up the deal. there could be an attack by the israeli military, an attack by hamas forces. the question now is, who is going to make sure this continues apace even with the interventions that could side track the deal? >> who is the pressure on, hamas or netanyahu? >> it's on both. president biden has made it very clear to prime minister netanyahu to keep focusing on getting the detainees out. the israeli public wants them out as well. there's no political space in israel for the prime minister to move away from this. the same goes for hamas. qatar has been working this aggressively. they have been hosting them for a decade now in the political office in doha. hamas made a commitment to qatar. it's their patron who really does have control in many aspects of their politics, and they can't betray qatar. is it qatar or qatar? >> i'll say qatar. >> they're going to have a nervous in just a few minutes. we're going to watch and see what they have to say regarding the release. the interesting part of this deal was the israelis agreed to continue the ceasefire for a day for every ten hostages released, potentially extending this out quite far because there are going to be 180 hostages left even after these 50 are released. what is hamas' incentive to keep doing that? >> it's such a dark deal, the trading of bodies of people, of lives in such a harsh way. the first batch might be the easiest group, quite frankly, 30 babies, children, 3-year-olds being released, young women, mothers. that's probably going to be the one that will determine the kind of political support that is available for the subsequent releases, because these are the easy ones to release and they're also the ones who bring out the most emotion. after that, a day of quiet. what does hamas get out of this? they get quiet. hamas is reeling. hamas needs a timeout. that's why it's controversial and difficult inside of israel as well. the prime minister has two objectives in this war. one is to destroy hamas, the second is to get back the kidnapped hostages. >> the criticism on israel -- and there's obviously a lot of justification for them, having endured what happened on october 7th. but the criticism of israel is that they've gone too far too quickly and they've ended up killing way too many civilians in the process of trying to root out hamas. i had an israeli spokesperson on a moment ago who told me that the goal is to deradicalize gaza and to stop the radicalization of future generations. i asked him, is that possible when you've decimated a third of the strip and killed thousands of kids? does that help you meet your goal? you know, he kind of blew me off and said i'm not the person you should be asking that, i'm not the one who started this war. in the american experience, because we've made some big mistakes in the middle east, what happens with that sort of bombing campaign? >> i was a civil servant a at the state department when we invaded iraq. egyptian president said if you go in, you'll create a hundred bin ladens. this is not a direct analogy, but it is critical for the israelis to keep their eye on the long-term. >> let's go to qatar. >> after our commuications about the civilians which needs to be released which is under the israeli prisons detentions, the truth will be starting on friday 7:00 a.m. and on the 24th of november. and they will be the first group of hostages that will be handed over and will be women and children. if there is a family in the group, they will be given priority. they will be released. on the first day, there will be only 13 people will be released. there were a lot of discussions about we have told you in the past about the agreement. it needs deployment of the agreement and we need safe arrivals of the hostages to their places. and we are grateful to our brothers, the egyptians and others, who were in communications all the time with us. and we have handed the names of the groups. this truce will be humanitarian truce and hoping for the permanent peace. and we will talk about the rest of the hostages and we are trying to make sure that to release the bigger number of -- [ no audio ] >> the list has been handed to facilitate the implementation of the deal. as the agreement took place the beginning of the pause will be 7:00 a.m. friday, the 24th of november, and it will last, of course, as agreed for four days. the first batch of civilians to be released from gaza will be around 4:00 p.m. the same day. they will be 13 in number, all women and children. those hostages from the same families will be put together within the same patch. obviously every day will include a number of civilians as agreed to the total of 50 within the four days. communications and meetings that took place all through yesterday went on until early morning today with the egyptians and the parties of the conflict present here in doha. the meetings went very well and in a positive environment. there was also the implementation plan of the agreement, which we have always said needed to be something that is concrete and ready to create a safe environment for the release of the hostages. this is what i have here information for you right now. i'll be taking questions. >> who's going to oversee the truce in gaza? >> both parties, they have agreed that to oversee the truce. we have agreement with both sides. we are going to do what is in our part to do positive things and those who are on the field, they are going to implement and oversee the truce. >> what is the process by which the hostages will be transferred out of gaza into israel? >> i'm sorry. i can't disclose information. our main objective is the safety of the hostages. we can't disclose information of the routes they will be going through. we will be focusing on making sure they get there safely. we'll work both with the red cross and the parties of the conflict and make sure everybody is getting the information so we can move them safely. >> are you negotiating a separate track from hamas for the release of non-israelis, specifically americans on the list? >> the criteria on which to prioritize the hostages was purely humanitarian, as you know. our focus was on getting the women and children out of harm's way as soon as possible, which is basically what we are doing with this agreement. we will be going through -- hope hopefully the momentum carries by this deal, will help us get everybody out in time. [ inaudible question ] >> as we talked about, the humanitarian aid is an integral part of this deal. the aid will start going in at 7:00 a.m. so we are expecting aid to go in as soon as possible from rafah crossing in coalition with the egyptians. it's going to be coming in through the crossing as soon as we have a period of calm where, of course, the aid workers will be safe in going in. it would be a fraction of the need in gaza. the need is so great in gaza that no matter how much aid you are going to bring in, there will be certainly need for more aid. we are hoping to bring in as much as possible within the confines of the deal. of course, our aim for this deal is a lasting truce. of course, the confines of the deal are subject to these four days and the following phases of expanding the pause through the formula of getting more hostages out and therefore getting more time for the pause. we are hoping that momentum will carry and that this would open the door for further negotiations and an end to this violence. please. >> translator: -- regarding a ceasefire and for four days a truce and we have agreed that there will be total ceasefire on those four days and there will not be from any side will break against that agreement and -- [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: and who is going to oversee if someone breaks the agreement? and regarding the palestinian prisons, who is going to oversee their release? of course, they are in the hands of the israeli government and -- regarding the details of the agreement, i do not want to go into that again. and whoever breaks the agreement and both parties are on the field, they have duties to obey by the agreement. and regarding the medical teams to enter the strip, we do not have details at the moment to tell you how they are going to carry out the work. at the moment we are concentrating at the entering of the humanitarian relief, and then we'll get to the others. >> could you please specify whether at 7:00 a.m. local time in gaza? my main question is about 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? >> so at 7:00 a.m. local time, gaza time, not international timing. so it's 7:00 a.m. local time over there. and regarding the palestinians, i can't disclose right now information about how many of them will be freed tomorrow. i can tell you that the deal -- [indiscernible] >> tomorrow. we are expecting a release tomorrow? >> as a result of the release of hostages around 4:00 p.m. in gaza. >> thank you. >> i just wanted to ask about the red cross. will they be accompanying the hostages out throughout gaza, or they're meeting them at the edge of gaza? and will they be able to visit the hostages that aren't being released? just to follow on becky's question, have specific evacuation routes been set yet and you just can't talk about them? without sharing too much detail, will hostages will leaving directly into israel or through rafah and home to israel? >> regarding the red cross and red crescent, they have been designated to receive the hostages, but i can't discuss the details of how that will happen or where they will take them. they will take responsibility there. we appreciate all the work the red cross is doing on this end. they are taking their own staff in gaza. they will be an integral part of handling the hostages, but i can't get into the details of where they will be leaving or where they will be coming out. i think a lot of things on the ground affect this. the important thing is we maintain a clear line of communication with everybody to make sure the environment in which the transfer will happen will be a safe one as we guarantee the safety of them to be united with their families. [ inaudible question ] >> i don't have an update on this right now. [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: regarding today's negotiations, have they talked about the extent of the truce? and regarding the palestinian prisoners and are they going to release them to their houses in west bank and gaza? >> translator: we are going to use the truce and we are going to concentrate on the safety of. and regarding the four days, it is -- it could be extended further. we are talking about this exchange of prisoners. >> we saw this morning that israel arrested the head of the al shifa hospital in gaza. was this mentioned in today's discussions, or is it going to be mentioned in future discussions? >> i'm not aware of this specific case, so i can't comment on it. sorry. >> thank you. [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: regarding the entering humanitarian relief and the truce -- >> translator: as far as the truce is concerned, it will be the entire gaza strip. and regarding the relief and the humanitarian relief will start immediately, because our people in gaza needs help. and we hope we can send as much as help possible in those days. even if we send all the humanitarian aid in one day, it will not be enough, because of the suffering the people have faced. >> can you walk us through how things will progress from 4:00 p.m. onwards? is there a number of hostages we know will be part of that first transfer? and what should we expect to see in the next 24 hours after that? >> the first release will be of 13 individuals of women and children. some are them are women and others, of course, are children, as we stated. they will be released approximately at 4:00 p.m. as you might expect, it's not exact science, the time itself, but approximately 4:00 p.m. that will be happening every day within a specific window of time where the situation will be much safer for them to move about. they will be, as i said, handed over to the red cross. i won't get into the details of after that, but the idea is to make the transfer as safe as possible for all parties. this is a war zone. this is why the discussions yesterday went until early this morning to make sure the executive plan for the implementation of this agreement troubleshoots any possible problems within the release itself. >> so the releases will be happening at 4:00 p.m. each day? >> i only have the timing for the first day and the number for the first day. the lists that were exchanged today were actually for the first day. >> what would constitute a break in this truce, a breaking of this truce? we're talking about a truce on the ground and, as i understand it, in the air. can you just describe what will be seen as a breakdown in that? >> so i don't think i can get into the technicalities on the ground, of course. this is to be handled by the people who are there on the ground. what i can tell you is the agreement is about full cessation of hostilities. it's important lines of communication remain open so any possible breach is communicated to both parties and there is a way to walk back from it. >> the second question here, can you give us some sense about why we have seen delays? has it been hamas or israel has made any further demands to what was in the proposal agreed upon 24 hours ago? and are you expecting any further delays? >> we are hoping that we don't see any delays. i think we've reached a point now where everything is in place and we are ready to go on the ground. so we are hopeful by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow everything will start and we'll have the humanitarian pause. when it comes to what were the reasons for the delays, i can tell you the discussions over the details of how this will happen were very difficult and very detailed, because we wanted to make sure nothing would cause harm in the process of getting the hostages out, but also the parameters of the agreement are agreed upon in the operational sense between both sides. that took a lot of discussions between both sides. we are happy that the discussions happened in a positive environment. >> thank you. [ inaudible question ] [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: as far as the extension of this truce is concerned, this truce is about the whole gaza strip and between hamas and the israeli occupiers. we are talking about gaza itself. >> translator: is there will between both sides to extend this truce? >> translator: it is up to them and it is our objective was to get to first point to the truce and then to continue with this truce until lasting peace based on the agreement which will happen in the future. >> translator: do you think it is easy to implement this truce while the israeli force on the skies and the tanks on the ground, and have you talked about this issue about the tanks and the snipers of the israelis? and is there any solution for that? the second question is about the surveillance aircraft. >> translator: regarding the situation in northern gaza, we can't talk about this kind of issue because of the sensitivity of the issue. until we get to the lasting ceasefire. and regarding the movement of the israeli army, there was agreement and there was a point that we talked about that in the agreement. >> in the process of making sure that the logistics were completely in place for things to go forward today, did you feel that things were put in place as this scheme continues in the way that it's 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 if i should say confident, but we are very hopeful. the commitment we have seen from both sides leads us to be very positive. we are seeing a good level of agreement of the agreement itself, the details hashed out in the executive plan of this agreement are very sound and robust. we are hoping that these four days will work as a proof of concept for further de-escalation measures, including expanding, extending this humanitarian pause, but also getting to a more sustainable truce in gaza. of course, i'm sure all of you know this, these are not set in stone, they are not completely guaranteed. anything can happen on the ground. but we are confident with the signatories of the agreement and the international and regional partners are working with us. everybody is committed to the success of this humanitarian pause. it actually constitutes the first glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel of this crisis. [indiscernible] the main purpose is that new issue can be dealt with immediately and not allow it to escalate in any way that would make the whole deal collapse. >> one of the complications of the past 24 hours seems to have been the lists of the small batch for each day. you received the list for the first batch. do you expect there to be similar complications and contentiousness around setting the list each day? and is there a specific time set for each day for, okay, the list needs to be set for the next day at whatever it is, 5:00 p.m. the day before? i didn't quite catch the response on the drone surveillance. we understand that israeli drone surveillance won't be happening during a certain part of the day to allow for the hostage handover to happen. is it just israeli surveillance? i understand maybe the americans and europeans are in the area. >> regarding the list going out every day, it's a day-by-day process. when we have both lists confirms, this is where we can begin with the process of getting people out. there is agreement on the time intervals, so there will be a group each day released. obviously as we have laid out the timeline in the operational plan, it should go without necessarily any fault in getting the lists through. our teams are working day and night. i can tell you i've been with the team as late as 2:00 a.m. yesterday and as early as 4:00 a.m. today. they are working on this to make sure everything is happening as quickly as possible. obviously, it is no nobody's interest to delay the beginning of this agreement and implementation of the humanitarian truce. every moment that goes by is translated into a life lost. we need to do it the right way. we need to do it in a way that would guarantee the safety and the success of the truce itself. >> are all those whose names were on the list alive? >> those that will be released, yes, we have confirmation those who will be released are all alive, yes. >> 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 can't comment on the numbers right now, because we don't have verifiable information of the hostages and their status at the moment. i can tell you that one of the things we are looking to happen within the four days of pause is to collect more information of the hostages, those who we have been told are not all with hamas. we are hoping by the fourth day we'd have an agreement in place to release more and more hostages and thereby extend the pause in gaza. i forgot to answer the question on the drones. as you mentioned, there will be a period of time where the skies will be clear to allow for the hostage release to happen in a safe environment. one of the main challenges was the drones flying over that might be mistook for an attack. we have to make sure the movement happens in a very safe environment so it doesn't cause any problems with the hostages. [indiscernible] >> translator: regarding the citizens of gaza in the north, i do not have details regarding the humanitarian aid. do you think the israelis would let humanitarian aid get to the north? >> translator: we will give you the details at that time. not at the moment we don't have. [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: as you know, that from the 7th of october, qatari government started contact with their partners regarding to start negotiations and to involve qatari mediations, and we continued until we got to this agreement. and i'm talking about the people on the top helm from the first day until today until we got into this agreement. this agreement doesn't mean the work is finished for this group. the first thing is we need to finish the exchange of the prisoners and continue with the truce and we carry onto work for the -- >> could this be the moment for further talks? is it going to be mainly about gaza? do you see the potential for more cooperation from iran when it comes to the need to expand this into more of a truce that could expand the settlement between the israelis and hamas? >> this will be a third visit to doha. we have discussed with the iranians the prospect of regional spillover of this conflict, and we have made sure that we relayed to all our partners in the region the complexities that would result from any spillover and the need for us all to work together to make sure this conflict is contained and that we work together to walk back from the 7th of october and we work with everybody, including the iranians, to make sure these messages get across. >> just to confirm again, the full list of 50 hostages, has that been handed over to you and then you have the 13 names to be released tomorrow, or have you just got the list of 13 for friday release? >> the lists exchanged today were of those who will be exchanged tomorrow. every day will include lists. >> as i understand it, you were anticipating as part of the agreement getting the full list of 50 hostages being held by hamas. >> we'll be getting more information. right now the lists are the lists of the day. >> benjamin netanyahu is very keen to point out that the u.s. president had played a significant part in upping the number of hostages who will be released and lowering the cost of those releases to the israelis. can you just comment on the role the u.s. president has played? >> i can't testify to what the prime minister has mentioned, but i can tell you we are working very closely with the u.s. on this. we had various delegations from the u.s. come here. of course, secretary blinken. president biden has been calling on the emir and we had constant calls between both sides to make sure we work together on this. we appreciate, of course, the work done by the united states to make sure that the deal comes to fruition. we continue to work with the united states over this. i can't speak of the details. i can tell you with the communication that's taking place all across the world, the americans were very instrumental, especially in working with israel on the deal. [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: regarding the humanitarian relief and talks about how many trucks, have they told you or you know how many of those trucks will be fuel tankers? >> translator: we are just talking now at the moment we do not have information regarding this. and has the iranian foreign minister arrived in doha? and the struggle between the israelis and hezbollah in the north of israel -- >> translator: as i said a short while ago, the iranian foreign minister came to doha before two more times. to be honest, i do not have the information that they will be meeting regarding that or not. and this crisis, there are initiatives that this crisis not go and regarding the palestinian prisoners which will be released, is there any special place they should go to, or they can go to their houses, their families? and regarding the daily arrests which is occurring in palestine in west bank and what is the future of those who are getting arrested on a daily basis? >> translator: this truce is agreement regarding what is happening in gaza. this truce will bring peace everywhere in palestinian and even in the west bank and gaza. >> translator: at the moment we do not have informations regarding that point and there will be release of women and children from the -- >> -- when it comes to you and the egyptians mediating this deal, are you looking at all the aspects of the military security and the humanitarian deal the moment you have to step in to say, no, we have to put it this way? >> we of course are not on the ground, which is always a handicap. the operations in doha has direct lines of communication with hamas and with the israeli side and with the red cross. it's all happening in realtime where we are monitoring everything that happens, any breach, any initial information we can relay between the three sides we are working with and our partners including egypt and the united states so we can make sure that we immediately jump in to continue our mediation work and to make sure that we troubleshoot any issue that might arise on the ground. working with those parties i mentioned is very instrumental to make sure that the deal goes through the way it was agreed upon. >> so we've been watching the qatari government there give an update on the deal for hostages. we have some news from this news conference. the truce will start at 7:00 a.m. local tomorrow in israel. that's midnight here in the united states, on the east coast, at least. 13 women and children will be released first. that will happen at 4:00 p.m. israeli time, 9:00 a.m. eastern time here in the united states. there is a list of who these women and children are. the israelis have been notified who they are. the prime minister's office has said those families are being notified. they said families that are there together are being given priority and that the decision on who to release and when to release them is on humanitarian criteria. he was asked whether it was americans who will go first. he said humanitarian decisions, humanitarian criteria. jewel rubin is still with me. can i ask you, joel, first about this word truce that keeps getting used? at first i thought when i saw this that it was just a translation issue, because truce in english means an end to hostilities and has a lot of significance. we've been hearing pause. it sounds like it's more of a pause, truce. why are the qataris insisting on using the words truce. >> so nomenclature has been all over the map. this is the first official time that we have had a word assigned to an action of suspending hostilities, a truce, and so in this case, truce t means that there's an intention and the qataris are framing this, there is an intention for there to be a pure cessation, and their goal is to have this continue. that after these four days, 50 people coming out, that their goal is to have that continue to have ten more per day is what we're hearing for another day of quiet, ten more, ten more, so count it out coming up on three additional weeks. that's a real truce. that allows the for the opportunity for aid to come in, increased trucks, helping the palestinian civilians, and so it's a firm term and i think that's now the term we're going to use. >> there's some intentionality behind it. they know what it means in english. >> this was not a mistake. this was a deliberate word choice. >> let's bring in nbc news correspondent david noriega who's been covering this from tel aviv for us. this is some hopeful news, concrete timing on when the hostages will be released and also news on who the hostages are. what are you hearing out there? >> reporter: yeah, katy, this is truly a huge moment. this is -- you know, it's still not exactly the moment that the families have been waiting for. that moment will not come until they are actually physically reunited with their loved ones. it is a huge step forward. i should add too that we're hearing this not only from the qatari foreign ministry, we've gotten confirmation from hamas themselves. they've confirmed those core details in terms of the timing, in terms of the 13 hostages, in terms of the allowing in of aid trucks, they're saying specifically 200 aid trucks and four trucks of fuel per day. that's hamas. the israelis are confirming they have a preliminary list and they're in contact with the families. things we don't know so far that are important. we don't know exactly how or where these families are going to be released. we don't know if they're going to cross the border directly into israel or through rafa, through egypt and then be transferred to israel. we do know that the aid truck wills go through rafa. you know, this is a really big moment. this is the first glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel in this conflict. everything is set to go on the ground. the atmosphere here has been incredibly tense, extremely high expectations, like i said thshs is a huge moment. i don't think we'll see any real relief until we start seeing the pictures of those people, you know, safely in israel. last thing i'll say, other big piece of information conspicuously absent from this press conference is basically anything having to do with the release of palestinian prisoners. we don't know where that will happen. we don't know where they will go. we don't know who will be facilitating those releases that. is a big missing piece of the picture right now. we need all parties to this negotiation to fulfill their end of the bargain for this to not collapse from one moment to the next. we're all going to be watching this very, very closely over the next few hours. >> he also said it would happen concurrently even though we don't have detail on how it's going to happen, there was a mention there that -- >> reporter: exactly. >> -- the release of the palestinians would happen at the same time as the release of the israeli hostages, right? >> reporter: right, yes, and hamas has said it will be happening at a ratio of 3 to 1, right? for the 13 first hostages released in the first day, there will be three palestinian prisoners for each of those 13 hostages. that's per hamas. the information we have applies really to the first day. the lists that both parties have shared with one another and with the mediators are not the full list of the 50 hostages and 150 prisoners. it's just the 13 hostages and the concurrent palestinian prisoners on the other side e. >> david noriega, thank you very much. joel, i'm going to give you the last word. can we talk about bill burns, the cia director who is not there now but was in the region trying to facilitate this. how much of a role did he play? >> the essential american, the central negotiator, one of the great diplomats of our time, now running the cia. he has the trust of the israelis, of the qataris. he understands the regime. he was our ambassador to jordan in the previous post. without him, i don't think this deal gets done. he understands how to pull things together. he has the levers at his disposal. >> do you think this is a turning point?
