Families of Gaza hostages seek urgent release and progress

Families of hostages in Gaza continue to wait for their loved ones' release as a fragile ceasefire holds. The ceasefire, which paused a 15-month war, is at a critical point, with negotiations for a second phase yet to begin. Yael Alexander's son, Edan, remains among 27 hostages believed alive. The Trump administration's special envoy has emphasized efforts to secure his release, providing some hope to families. However, recent delays and Hamas' tactics have increased desperation. Families are urging the Israeli government to expedite talks for more releases. They express frustration over the lack of action, as many hostages have been in captivity for over 500 days.
