What significant developments have occurred in the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas?

The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is back on track with significant progress. Hamas has confirmed they will transfer the bodies of four Israeli hostages on Thursday—the first confirmed release since the ceasefire began—and six living hostages will be released on Saturday, exceeding initial plans. Israel has sent a negotiating team to Cairo to begin meaningful negotiations with Hamas about progressing to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement. However, this next phase will be contentious as it would involve a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza Strip, which is strongly opposed by the far right of Netanyahu's government. While success isn't guaranteed, both sides appear ready to continue negotiations.
