Hamas Releases Final Six Hostages, Completes Current Phase of Exchange Deal

Hamas has released the last six hostages as part of the ongoing prisoner exchange agreement, marking the completion of the current phase of the deal. The freed individuals have been transferred to Israeli authorities and reunited with their families after undergoing medical evaluations.

The release follows extensive negotiations brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, aiming to secure the safe return of captives while maintaining a fragile ceasefire. Israeli officials confirmed that all six individuals were in stable condition upon arrival.

Under the terms of the agreement, Israel has also released a group of Palestinian detainees. While this phase has concluded successfully, discussions continue regarding the fate of remaining captives and the future of ceasefire arrangements.

The international community has welcomed the development, with calls for sustained diplomatic efforts to prevent further conflict. However, tensions remain high, with both sides closely monitoring the situation as negotiations proceed.
