Hamas plans to release more hostages as negotiations continue with Israel

Hamas is set to release more hostages from Gaza as part of a deal involving six hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. This follows the release of two hostages and the return of four bodies to Israel, which has sparked anger over misidentified remains. The Israeli military confirmed the identities of some returned remains but stated that one body did not match any hostages. Families of the remaining captives are anxious as negotiations for a second phase of the cease-fire deal have stalled, leaving about 60 hostages unaccounted for. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that six living hostages would be released on Saturday, instead of three. Families are concerned about the future of the negotiations and the safety of their loved ones still held in Gaza.
