Hamas handed the corpses of four Israeli hostages while waiting for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners to be released by Israel, in the last exchange agreed by a fragile truce in Gaza.
The ceased the fire entered into force on January 19 and was made in general, despite several setbacks. But your first phase should end this week and the fate of others, who tries to end the war, remains uncertain. Hamas said she had not received any proposal so far.
After days of impasse, the Egyptian mediators guaranteed the delivery of the last four hostage corpses of the first phase of the agreement in exchange for 620 Palestinians arrested by the Israeli forces in Gaza or Israel.
Hamas delivered four bodies to the Red Cross, told Reuters an Israeli security source. Hamas had identified the deaths at the Red Cross such as Tsachi Idan, Itzhak Elgarat, Ohad Yahalomi and Shlomo Mantzur, all kidnapped during the attack on October 7 in Gaza.
Delivery did not include a Hamas ceremony: the ceremonies staged, in which the living guests and the cases with the remains of hostage were exhibited on a stage in front of a crowd in Gaza, attracted strong criticisms, including the United Nations.
Israel had rejected the release of over 600 prisoners and prisoners from Palestinians last Saturday after Hamas delivered six hostages to this ceremony.
The Palestinian prisoners to be released include 445 men and 24 women and minors arrested in Gaza, as well as 151 prisoners who serve the prison of life for fatal attacks against Israelis, according to a source of Hamas.
A bus with some of the prisoners released was seen to leave an Israeli prison in the West Bank. A hospital in Gaza will receive them, according to Hamas.
The first phase of the ceased the fire included the exchange of 33 Israeli hostages in total for about 2,000 prisoners and Palestinian prisoners, as well as the removal of Israeli troops from some positions in Gaza and an injection of humanitarian aid.
But with the 42 -day truce scheduled for next Saturday, it is not sure if there is an extension when more than 59 remaining hostages are released or the negotiations for the second part of the agreement will begin.
