Red Cross not aware of agreement to allow its staff to visit hostages in Gaza
From CNN's Pierre Bairin and Alex Stambaugh
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says it has "not been made aware" of any agreement made between Israel and Hamas to allow ICRC staff to visit hostages in Gaza, after the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this would be provided for the deal.
"Thus far, the ICRC has not been made aware of any agreement reached by both parties, related to visits by the ICRC to the hostages. Should a visit be agreed upon, the ICRC stands ready to visit," ICRC spokesperson Fatima Sator told CNN Thursday.
Sator said the ICRC has "continuously asked for the release of all hostages held in Gaza and for their humane treatment."
"We haven't stopped doing so and will continue as long as it takes," she said.
Netanyahu said Wednesday that the Red Cross will be allowed to visit and offer medical support to the hostages that remain in Gaza after some of them are returned under the truce agreement.
As a neutral intermediary, the Red Cross has not been involved in the negotiations, but the organization says it was involved in facilitating the previous release of four hostages.
ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric traveled to Qatar on Monday "to advance humanitarian issues," where she met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Qatar authorities.
