Hamas is ready to release all remaining hostages in a single swap during the second phase of the Gaza truce, according to a senior official. This differs from the current phase, where hostages are released in stages. The first phase of the truce began on January 19, resulting in 19 Israeli hostages being freed in exchange for over 1,100 Palestinian prisoners. After this phase, 58 hostages will still be held in Gaza, including 34 that the Israeli military reports are deceased.
