Israel to release 620 Palestinian detainees for hostages' remains

Israel has agreed to a new exchange involving the release of 620 Palestinian detainees in return for the remains of four hostages. This comes after a previous delay in releasing prisoners, which had raised concerns about the ongoing ceasefire with Hamas. The agreement, mediated by Egypt, follows the release of six Israeli hostages by Hamas. The ceasefire, which has lasted 42 days, is set to expire soon unless extended. Talks for a permanent resolution to the conflict have not yet begun. Hamas continues to hold 63 hostages, with at least 32 believed to be dead. The situation remains tense, as both sides navigate the complexities of the ceasefire and prisoner exchanges.
