Hamas has announced the release of three more Israeli hostages as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement. The hostages, Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami, and Or Levy, are to be freed on Saturday, marking the fifth exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The release comes amid ongoing negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire, which would involve the release of dozens more hostages in exchange for further concessions.
Hamas has identified Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami, and Or Levy as the next three Israel i hostages to be release as part of the ceasefire deal.The ceasefire is currently in its first six-week phase which stipulates the release of 33 Israel i hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Terms of the second phase are yet to be agreed upon.
Israel is set to release 183 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday to fulfil its side of the agreement, according to the Hamas-linked prisoners' office in Gaza. Mr Ben Ami, a father of three, was taken hostage from the same community, where he was the kibbutz accountant. His wife, who was also captured, was released during a brief ceasefire in November 2023.
Details of the planned exchange came as US President Donald Trump continued talking up his widely criticised proposal to move all Palestinians from Gaza and redevelop it as an international travel destination. "We don't want to see everybody move back and then move out in 10 years because of continued unrest", he said.
