Hamas has confirmed that it will release the next group of hostages on Saturday, as outlined in the ongoing ceasefire agreement with Israel. This follows the previous rounds of negotiations mediated by Egypt and Qatar.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Hamas emphasized that these international mediators had affirmed their commitment to addressing any challenges and closing gaps to ensure the exchange takes place as scheduled.
As the release date approaches, no immediate response has been given by Israeli officials, but the arrangement marks a significant development in the fragile ceasefire agreement. The hostage release is expected to be part of a broader effort to de-escalate tensions between the two sides.
The hostage exchange is part of a broader agreement brokered by mediators aiming to stabilize the situation.
