A bus carrying released Palestinian prisoners arrived in Ramallah from Israel's Ofer prison, marking the final exchange under a ceasefire that began on January 19. This phase included the release of 580 prisoners in total. The exchange involved 445 men and 24 women and minors, along with 151 prisoners serving life sentences. Nearly 100 additional prisoners were sent to Egypt for resettlement. Hamas also handed over the bodies of four Israeli hostages. The ceasefire is set to expire soon, and discussions about a potential extension or a second phase of negotiations remain uncertain.
