Hamas to release six more Israeli hostages from Gaza in ceasefire agreement
Hamas plans to release six more Israeli hostages from Gaza on Saturday. This follows a dispute over the misidentification of a body, which has raised tensions and uncertainty about the ongoing ceasefire agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the situation, stating that the remains of an Israeli mother were misidentified. The release of the six hostages includes individuals abducted during the October 7 attack, with over 600 Palestinian prisoners set to be freed in exchange. Hamas has indicated it will release four more bodies next week, completing the first phase of the ceasefire. However, they have stated that further releases depend on a lasting ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
