Israel to receive six hostages from Hamas as ceasefire holds

Israel is set to receive six more hostages from Hamas as part of a ceasefire agreement. This handover follows accusations regarding the return of a misidentified body, which has raised tensions but has not halted the exchange process. The six hostages include four taken during the October 7 attack and two held for nearly a decade. In return, Israel will release 602 Palestinian prisoners, continuing a complex negotiation that has faced multiple challenges. Despite ongoing disputes, both sides plan to discuss a second stage of negotiations for the return of additional hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops. The situation remains tense, with significant humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
