Laetitia Courtois on Israel-Hamas Deal: ICRC Plays the Role of a ‘Neutral Intermediary’ to Facilitate the Implementation of the Agreement

RUSH EXCERPT:

COURTOIS: "Indeed, the ICRC plays the role of a neutral intermediary which is to facilitate the implementation of the agreement that is passed between the warring parties. We don’t negotiate this agreement but we make sure that contact with all the sides involved and expertise as well in this type of operation allows this operation to happen on the ground with safety, with all the details covered to make sure that this operation goes through. And today they allowed 17 people to be freed, to return to their families or at least on their way to return to their families for the nationals that have been also released."
