Report claims 50 hostages with dual citizenship set to be released

The i24 news network reports that 50 hostages with dual citizenship are on their way to southern Gaza where they are set to be released into the custody of the Red Cross.

The report cannot immediately be confirmed.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office attributed to a senior diplomatic source says “Israel will not be a party to a ‘selection’ for holders of foreign passports for release,” referring to a process that singles out certain groups.

IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari does not deny the report, but says the public will be updated when there is something to know.
