Israeli UN envoy Danny Danon told reporters that Israel wants all the captives released at the same time, but he’s not sure it will all happen in one stage, Al Jazeera reports.

“We hope it will be in one stage, because we want to see all the hostages back home,” Danon said.

“Maybe it will not be in one stage, and basically it will be similar to what we saw in the past, more than a year ago, that you have a ceasefire, a long one … During that ceasefire, hostages will be released, and we’re talking maybe on the humanitarian aspect of women, and they seek in the older hostages,” he added.
