i am richard louis in for simone sanders townsend. we are in for a rapidly changing news for the hostages in the four-day truce in the israel-hamas war. after their group released yesterday and day one. we reunited with family members there was a delay on day two in today's return of a second group of hostages. hamas officials say israel violated the temporary truce announcement. rather agreement including the amount of humanitarian aid going to northern gaza in the order of palestinian president. released later today, hamas leaders announced the hostage release deal is back on track. the qatari leader saying now the additional israeli hostages will be released soon in exchange for more palestinian prisoners. qatari and hamas officials say the release of that second wave of hostages kidnapped in the october 7th attack will move forward as soon as this evening. qatar also saying 13 israeli prisoners and seven others outside of the agreements framework will be released in exchange for 39 palestinian prisoners. the spokesperson for the idf responded to the delay in a press conference just within the last two hours. >> there is some real time progress happening. now things are happening, we will inform you on every stage. we are a fully prepared on the lines of the truth. fully operational preparedness. >> joining us now in jerusalem with the latest on the hostage deal where we are at right now. nbc news correspondent, david noriega. david, the question as we have been watching the video in the last hour and a half is, will we see them cross the rafah border crossing? the location you are a yesterday. which is the left bank. also the palestinian prisoners being released. what have you seen from both of those occasions? >> reporter: we are still waiting, richard. we know from the qataris that the group of hostages that will be released today from the gaza strip include eight children and five women. as you said, not the 13 hostages. in addition to that we are expecting seven foreign nationals. the way this process has been working at the mosque first hat to hand them to the red cross. they crossed the border with the red cross and then a handed to the israeli authorities on the egyptian side. they then transport them to israeli territory for medical treatment. as far as the palestinian prisoner side, what we saw yesterday's the prisoners were released a little bit later. a little bit after the release of the hostages. pretty soon after more or less around the same time. and now that we are back on track with this agreement as you said what generally people are expecting is for the pattern to hold but again we are just waiting. these are complicated processes we won't know that those releases have actually happened until we see those images of the hostages and the prisoners being released. richard? >> that will be the end of a successful day two of the truce as you and i have been talking about. in context, tell us about where we are at in the day. i know it is 11 pm their local time. how did it? star where we are right now? >> reporter: it happened tonight later than it happened yesterday. that is because of the delay that you mention. a very tense couple of hours during which hamas was accusing israel of not abiding by its end of the negotiations. saying that it was delaying the release of the hostages. that is why it is happening close to midnight and happening several hours prior. this is back on track. we did hear from the qatari foreign ministry that they and egypt or diplomatically involved in breaking through that logjam. we heard from u.s. authorities that president biden was briefed on all of this. that the u.s. also helped in implementing -- the breaking through of that. logjam at this point we are where we were last night a few hours prior. like i said we are waiting, people are gathered in the occupied west bank. waiting for those red cross buses to leave the military prison. we are all waiting for the red cross vehicles to also cross the rafah crossing into egypt. >> a little detail for us, richard. hamas was saying they had several objections as to why they were delaying the release. one of which was the supplies. can you give us some with that? and then the idf respond to that just within the last couple of hours, as well. >> reporter: that is right, the two main points of what hamas said were israel's failure to abide by the agreement where the fact that they did not allow any aid trucks into gaza as they said they would. specifically releasing them according to how much time they had spent in prison. the idf did respond to these allegations in a press conference saying that they have been abiding by the agreement to the letter. we do have a little bit of detail at least on the palestinian prisoner side. we know that there were several palestinian prisoners who were serving long sentences in israeli prisons who were not released yesterday. however, they are among the six women slated to be released tonight. we know now that, at least in terms of the prisoners being released tonight they do include those who have been in prison in israel for the longest time. now, again, the idf rejected hamas's accusations. they said that they have been abiding by the letter of the agreement. the important thing is all parties agreed to keep the process moving forward. richard? >> that is day two. nbc news is david noriega for us in israel with the very latest on both sides of this agreement. thank you for that. now the white house saying president biden was briefed throughout the morning on the state of the hostages including a call with the amir of qatar and the qatari prime minister on potential holdups on how to resolve them. hours ago white house officials learned that it was back on. the international red cross was moving to collect the hostages. a u.s. official tells nbc news that none of the ten american hostage -- including in a four-year goal, will be released. today they are still hopeful that they will be freed, quote, with this 50. today's disruption in the hostage release plan comes just one day after the successful transfer of 24 hostages held by hamas. that includes 13 israelis in exchange for 39 palestinian prisoners. among the hostages released is nine-year-old, ohad munder. seen here reuniting with his father after weeks in captivity. one of his family members had this to say about the child's condition. >> what is good shape for a nine year old after being in a prison cell for nine months? the way i see, what the doctor said, they are exactly what they should be under the circumstances. okay? so, we have to give them time, of course. we are optimistic that with a lot of love and a lot of patients he will recuperate and come to terms here with the new reality that has happened. >> meanwhile, the israeli government is facing continue pressure to secure the safe release of the rest of the hostages. thousands of their loved ones and supporters staged a rally in tel aviv today demanding their safe return. palestinians in the west bank taking to the streets on friday decelerate the release of palestinian prisoners, as well. joining us now is retired u.s. military colonel an msnbc military analyst, jack jacobs. and -- experience in international hostage recovery, rob d'amico. colonel jack, snag, hiccup, a bump in the road? is that what you saw today? the president and the americans having to get involved in making sure that we got to, what we believe, will be a successful transfer of hostages today? it is late in the day. we are about a half day behind from yesterday. we now have -- okay. we just got this in with some breaking news. the second group of hostages that we were just talking about, we understand that that is happening. let's go to david noriega in israel at the moment. david, what do we know? and the last few minutes hamas is saying on one of the official telegram channels and has handed the hostages over to the red cross. additionally, an idf spokesperson has told nbc news that they've heard from the red cross that the hostages are now in their custody and are on the way to the rafah crossing along the gaza strip. this process that we have been waiting for appears to be underway. it is a matter of how long it takes them to get to the rafah crossing before we actually start seeing those images. >> right. earlier, keeping this video up on the left-hand side, david, because we saw yet more supply trucks moving and going north. at this point you are saying, very shortly, we will see the 13 israelis and seven other nationalities make it through this very point. if it follows the same progress others yesterday, one of the questions here, david, was whether the american dream part of this group or not. what have you learned is they will not be. what we have learned based on the location from yesterday? >> reporter: based on what we saw yesterday we won't know the actual identities, the names, it's federal, of the hostages until they are out. we do know that the idf has those identities. they have been in contact with the families. this is required in order to set up the reunification of the hostages with their loved ones. that has not become public or accessible to us until the release officially happens. we learn information minute by minute, as it. happens on the palestinian prisoner side we do have the identity of those prisoners. there is an organization that represents prisoners and their families in the west bank. we have the names. it is really just a matter of actually seeing those red cross buses and through the streets of ramallah and armies those prisoners. the mechanics that will happen before we see the buses coming through this particular border crossing with the hamas hostages, what do we know about the process? you have been reporting on what is happening in terms of the release of the palestinian prisoners. what is happening now before we actually see them cross this particular border crossing? >> reporter: in rafah you mean? yeah, so, what happens is basically the red cross is the go-between between -- right, the red cross is the go-between between hamas and the idf. hamas hands the hostages to the red cross. the red cross crosses the border with them. hands them to the idea. the idf has an operational command center on the egypt side. yesterday in involved helicopters that flew the hostages into bitterly territory to get medical treatment. it is during that treatment that we actually see who these hostages are. we get to learn who their families are. the important note is we also get to see, who is missing? who has been left behind? when i was in tel aviv earlier this week i was speaking to multiple families of israeli hostages who are fairly certain that their loved ones are not going to be released because, for example, they are adult males. even that doesn't tell you the whole story. there will be, even after today, there will be more children left behind. more women left behind. these families are in an agonizing state a suspension. a few of them get some degree of relief. not even necessarily complete relief because they don't get every member of the family that they're waiting for. it is very piecemeal. the process isn't over until it's over. you really only learn things as we see them happen. >> as they are happening. david noriega, you are looking into my mind. we just heard from the idf that the international red cross has the day two hostages. the red cross does have the hostages for day to the enumerated 13 israelis and seven other nationalities. not part of the agreement but also people released as of now this is according to the red cross. the red cross telling the idf they are making their way to this crossing that we see on the left-hand side of the screen. david, it's interesting because as we were following the delay in the new announced the delay, or i should say, the holdup was no longer there. they had fix the situation, right? that was the announcement through the qatari what happened after that is there were further supply trucks making it through this crossing that given the final trucks we will finally let these hostages go? is that what we are finally hearing the news on? >> reporter: it is entirely possible. we didn't get a detailed response from the idf about the specific allegations that hamas made regarding what they claimed israel was failing on their end of the deal. that is probably something that we won't know for sure. i should also know that one of the questions about the aid trucks is not just whether they entered gaza but also how they are distributed within the gaza strip. one of the big sticking points here is how many of those trucks are allowed to go from southern gaza into northern gaza. that is where some of the humanitarian aid is most desperately needed. that is where the military action has been concentrated. we know that more than 1 million people were displaced we know that there is some forte of 5000 people left in the north. that is where they're worst devastation is happen. those people desperately need that aid it could be life-saving for them. of the palestinian red crescent said the amount of aid they expect to receive will be woefully insufficient. if you are one of those people, one of the family that is receiving aid, again it could make the difference between life and death. . it is not just the a trucks, it is also what happened after. how far they can get into gaza, and how the aid is distributed. >> given the bombardment, not an easy task. if you are just joining us, into msnbc, we are just learning this hour that, indeed, the second group of hostages from hamas have been released. we have also learned that, according to the idf, the international red cross has received a second group of hostages per day to. now we await, on the left-hand side, to see them actually across that border. that signal comes and goes. we are caring live for you so you can also see when this does happen. you can see on the other side equation that 39 palestinian prisoners, they being released in the west bank. those other two parts at this quarter hour that we understand, just in to us at msnbc, again, is that 13 israelis, seven foreigners, now making their way with the red cross to the rafah border crossing. let's go back to retire do us army colonel, jack jacobs. a former fbi hostage negotiator, rob d'amico. colonel, breaking news there as you and i were just about to talk. colonel jack, what do you make now of this happening? we could finish the day with a successful day to? >> we could. you raise an interesting point about the glitch, about the hiccup. as time goes on, we are liable if not more likely to see a number of hiccups. based on the same thing, david noriega brought up a significant point about, perhaps, why there was this hiccup. it revolves around aid. lots and lots of trucks with aid, with fuel, going into gaza. hamas would like to see the majority of that going up north where the majority of its people are located. we are talking about hamas, not down in the south where a large number of gazans are located. on the other hand, the idf would like to see a go to the gazans in the south. not to hamas. what do you control mechanisms are, and to make sure that the aid trucks get to where they are supposed to go, that is going to be a sticking point. as time goes on, it is going to become more and more difficult to control this. especially if there is a pause in the cease-fire. hostilities begin again while there is discussions of who is going to get released and when they are going to get released. the whole process will start all over again and become more contentious overtime. >> colonel jack, back at you with this. we've heard from the idf for the last couple hours. that is exactly what they were saying. there has been a delay. therefore, we are going to delay the release of these hostages. what the idf has said is, we are trying to get our supplies to the north and the south through those two entry points. not specific, necessarily, about where that aid was coming in. they were alluding to the fact that they delivered aid at the required points. and is now up to the u.n. agreed upon partners, contractors, to get us through the border crossing in the agreed location. we do not know what that agreement specifically says. the logistics of moving hundreds of trucks of equipment and supplies. >> yes, it becomes increasingly difficult. especially in the north. the train is destroyed. it is extremely difficult to negotiate. the supply routes to get the supplies to where they need to go. it is also unclear who the partners are. the u.n. may be involved. it is more likely to be the red crescent. and the red cross on both ends of gaza. there are also others involved including the qataris. who is controlling where these supplies go? once they leave, they crossed the border. it is not entirely clear. that has been part of the problem. the agreement notwithstanding would actually take place, as you are suggesting, once the vehicles get into gaza. among -- no one knows where it is gonna go after that. >> yeah. they kept on alluding to that agreement, the idf was. the incongruity that is potentially happening right now. rob, standby. i wanna go right to the white house. allie raffa with the latest on what we are learning in terms of hound while the white house has been on this development. as you know, breaking news from the international red cross and the idf that the hostages have been released. >> reporter: that is right, richard. in just the last hour u.s. officials set expectations for what we are seeing now with the release of 13 israelis and seven foreigners in exchange for 39 palestinians according to qatari mediators. u.s. officials telling us, quote, no americans today. still hopeful the three will get out with the 50. of course, referring to the three americans to women and one of four-year-old girl that u.s. officials hoped would be among this batch of newly released hostages. they are among the nine american citizens and one green card holder being held by hamas. a senior administration official said this morning that the release of the american mother and daughter, the first hostages released by hamas two weeks after the war began, they said that that relief gave them hope for more to come. saying that they have no indication that there is a reason why americans would not be among the hostages relief during this multi-day cease-fire deal. white house and national security council officials have given us a little bit more detail on what has been going on behind the scenes in nantucket where the president remains today as he wraps up his family vacation after thanksgiving. they say they're working with qataris, junction, and israeli officials on the implementation of this deal as it continues to come to fruition. s they say that the president ws briefed throughout the morning on the state of the steel as it was being implemented, as well as throughout the hours long delayed by hamas. they say at 10 am he spoke directly with the amir of qatar, and the qatari prime minister about potential holdups to the deal and mechanisms to resolve them. following that call a senior u.s. officials were in regular contact with the israelis, qataris, and egyptians to overcome hurdles to its implementation. they say the president was briefed throughout the day. >> ali, standby. i just want to make note for our viewers. we are watching these live pictures. we have seen several vans with the red cross insignia, the flag, as well. many journalists following these bands as they come through. we have counted five or six of them. this could indeed be the very hostages that we are talking about that were announced received by the idf, by the red cross. we are watching this now at the rafah border crossing. the same location we saw yesterday.
