Israel sends negotiators to Qatar for ceasefire talks after hostage swap

Israel has sent negotiators to Qatar to discuss a fragile ceasefire with Hamas after completing a fifth hostage-prisoner swap. Three Israeli hostages were released, but their poor health raised concerns. In exchange, Israel released 183 Palestinian prisoners, with some needing hospitalization. The swap is part of ongoing negotiations for a longer-term ceasefire, but Hamas officials expressed worries about Israel's commitment to the agreement. An emergency Arab summit is scheduled for February 27 in Egypt to address developments affecting Palestinians. The situation remains tense, with ongoing violence and significant casualties reported on both sides since the conflict began.
