Hamas Confirms Next Hostage Release Set for Saturday

 

In a recent announcement, Hamas has confirmed that the next group of Israeli hostages will be released on Saturday, as initially scheduled. This development comes as part of a complex ceasefire agreement reached earlier this month between Hamas and Israel. The head of the Hamas prisoners' media office, Nahed Al-Fakhouri, stated that the names of the hostages to be released will be provided on Saturday, with Israel similarly disclosing the names of Palestinian prisoners to be released under the deal.

The ceasefire accord, which aims to bring an end to the 15-month conflict in Gaza, outlines a six-week initial ceasefire phase. This phase includes the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages taken by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. The agreement has already seen the release of three Israeli hostages and 90 Palestinian prisoners.

The upcoming release is expected to further ease tensions and pave the way for a more stable and peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict. However, the situation remains fragile, and both sides will need to adhere to the terms of the agreement to ensure its success.
