In a critical development, Hamas has announced the planned release of three Israeli hostages, aiming to uphold the fragile ceasefire agreement with Israel. This decision comes after a period of heightened tensions, where Hamas accused Israel of failing to meet its obligations under the truce, particularly concerning the delivery of humanitarian aid and the facilitation of displaced Palestinians' return to northern Gaza.
The hostages set for release include Israeli-Argentinian Iair Horn, Israeli-American Sagui Dekel-Chen, and Israeli-Russian Alexander Troufanov. In exchange, Israel has agreed to release 369 Palestinian prisoners, marking the sixth such exchange since the ceasefire. . .
