Ceasefire Developments in Gaza
The first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire is approaching its end, raising hopes for its continuation. Israel has agreed to release Palestinian prisoners who were postponed from last week amid tensions regarding the treatment of hostages. There were discussions about preventing ceremonies that may humiliate hostages during their release, as previous instances caused friction between both parties. Although Egyptian mediation facilitated this partial agreement, uncertainties remain about progressing to the next phase, particularly concerning the remaining 60 hostages and the Israeli Defense Forces’ presence in Gaza.
