Hamas and Israel agree on hostage swap, ceasefire intact

Hamas and Israel have agreed to proceed with a hostage swap, maintaining the current ceasefire. Israel will release 620 Palestinians, including 23 children, after initially delaying the handover due to concerns over "release ceremonies." The swap will include Hamas returning the bodies of four Israeli hostages without ceremony. The timing of the exchange is uncertain, but it may occur as soon as Wednesday evening. The ceasefire, in place since January, is set to expire this weekend unless extended. Despite the agreement, tensions remain high, with accusations of ceasefire violations from both sides.
