Hamas announced it would release three more Israeli hostages on Saturday, easing tensions that risked breaking the fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries played crucial roles in smoothing over disputes, as Hamas accused Israel of failing to meet its obligations regarding supplies for Gaza. While the truce appears to hold, uncertainty looms with the second phase of negotiation pending, where Hamas must release dozens more hostages in exchange for concessions. The dynamics of ongoing geopolitical support complicate the situation, raising concerns about lasting peace.
Hamas pledged to release three more Israeli hostages, indicating cooperation with Egyptian and Qatari mediators to uphold the ceasefire established in a fragile truce.
The ongoing hostages' releases are pivotal for peace talks, but without substantive negotiations for the second phase, the future of the truce remains precarious.
