Hamas has announced the upcoming release of three Israeli hostages as part of a ceasefire agreement mediated by Egypt and Qatar. This decision comes after Hamas threatened to postpone the hostages' release, citing Israel's inadequate provision of humanitarian aid as a violation of the ceasefire terms. Following negotiations, Hamas revealed the names of the hostages to be freed. The ceasefire deal entails the release of 33 Israeli hostages by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners by Israel, leading to significant reciprocal releases.
