Hamas released three Israeli hostages after 16 months, showcasing their frail condition during a staged ceremony that provoked outrage in Israel. The exchange is part of a fragile ceasefire that allows the release of dozens of Palestinian prisoners. Israeli leaders condemned the treatment of hostages, while many released Palestinians described abuses in Israeli custody. Despite the tension, the ongoing ceasefire is unaffected by controversial political proposals regarding Gaza’s future, highlighting the complex dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict amid uneasy pauses in hostilities.
The released Israeli hostages appeared in poorer physical condition than other recent releases, sparking outrage and concern over their treatment during captivity.
Israeli officials expressed their outrage over the staged release of hostages, with Prime Minister Netanyahu's office indicating they would not accept the shocking scenes.
