Hamas to return six living hostages and four bodies to Israel in ceasefire deal

Hamas will hand over six living Israeli hostages and four dead bodies as part of a ceasefire agreement. This follows the release of 19 hostages and the confirmation of eight others being deceased. The handover is set for February 22 and February 22. The ceasefire began on January 19 after over 15 months of conflict. Negotiations for a second phase of the truce are expected to start this week, aiming for a more permanent resolution to the war. Saudi Arabia will host a meeting with regional leaders to discuss Gaza's reconstruction. Egypt will also hold an Arab League meeting to address U.S. plans for Gaza, which have faced significant opposition.
