Hamas has confirmed a deal with Israel to end the delay in releasing 620 Palestinian prisoners, coinciding with the handover of four Israeli captives' bodies. Following a ceasefire, Hamas released six Israeli captives, which led to Israel agreeing to free more Palestinian women and children. The exchange, overseen by Egypt, aims to uphold both parties' commitments to the ceasefire. The first phase of this agreement is set to end soon, with further negotiations planned for a second phase addressing additional concerns and remaining prisoners.
Hamas has said it reached a deal to end Israel's delay in releasing 620 Palestinian prisoners who were supposed to be freed last week.
Hamas accused Israel of sabotaging the Gaza truce by delaying the release of the 620 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday.
The latest agreement would complete both sides' obligations under the first phase of the ceasefire, during which Hamas is returning 33 captives, including eight bodies.
Discussions for a second phase of a Gaza ceasefire deal remain on track, with negotiations expected to resume shortly.
