Israel and Hamas are reportedly set to conduct what may be the final hostage exchange of the current cease-fire phase, with an agreement to return the remains of four Israelis in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. This arrangement comes as the cease-fire's initial phase nears conclusion, with a significant number of hostages and remains still in Gaza. There are uncertainties surrounding further negotiations for a second cease-fire phase, with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's trip to the region being delayed.
The first phase of the cease-fire is set to end in the coming days, with 25 hostages and more than 30 remains still in Gaza according to Israel.
Israel and Hamas have agreed to exchange the remains of four Israelis for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, with mediators ensuring coffins are handed over without humiliating ceremonies.
