Israelis mourn Bibas family as hostages' exchange progresses

Israelis mourned the Bibas family, victims of the October 7 Hamas attack, during their funeral. This comes as Hamas agreed to release the bodies of four deceased hostages, signaling progress in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations. Hamas confirmed the handover of the bodies, while Israel's Prime Minister's office noted an agreement for the exchange of hostages and Palestinian prisoners. The deal includes the release of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for around 2,000 Palestinian detainees. Egyptian mediators announced a breakthrough in the negotiations, allowing the final four bodies to be returned. The current ceasefire is set to expire soon, with uncertainty surrounding its potential extension and further negotiations.
