Hamas Frees Three Hostages, Israel Releases Hundreds of Prisoners as Cease-Fire Holds
Briefly

On Saturday, Hamas released three Israeli hostages, Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel Chen, and Alexander Troufanov, marking a significant moment during a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Despite their ordeal, the hostages appeared in better condition than previous releases. In exchange, Israel began releasing 369 Palestinian prisoners. The ceasefire, which has held for nearly four weeks, is under strain due to political proposals, particularly a controversial plan from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Palestinian relocation, which has contributed to ongoing tensions and uncertainty about the future of peace talks and humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
