What has Hamas agreed to release in the recent Gaza ceasefire talks and what will Israel provide in exchange?
Hamas has announced it will release the bodies of four Israeli captives, including the remains of Shiri Bibas and her children Ariel and Kfir, who were reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza in November 2023. The children's father, Yarden, was freed earlier this month in a separate arrangement. In exchange for these remains, Israel has agreed to release half of the women and children that Israeli forces detained from Gaza during the ongoing conflict. This exchange represents a bittersweet breakthrough in the ceasefire negotiations, as it confirms the deaths of captives while facilitating a partial prisoner release.
