Hamas has announced that it will release hostages as part of its ceasefire agreement with Israel, reversing a previous threat to indefinitely postpone hostage-prisoner swaps. The organization stated that it will continue to implement the agreement, including the exchange of prisoners according to the specified schedule. This decision comes after discussions with Qatar and Egypt to maintain the truce with Israel. Concerns had arisen that the ceasefire was at risk of collapsing due to aggressive rhetoric from the White House and the Israeli government. Israel had been accused of violating the ceasefire by Hamas by shooting at civilians and blocking humanitarian aid. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that “the gates of hell will open” if Hamas did not release all captives. Both sides have been engaged in conflict since 2023, with significant casualties on both sides. Arab leaders have been working to mediate the situation and prevent Trump’s plan to resettle Palestinians in neighboring countries. Egypt is planning to host an emergency Arab summit to address the issue. The goal is to achieve a comprehensive and just peace in the region by resolving the Palestinian cause.
