Days after Israel had not released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and prisoners in an exchange for six hostages in Gaza, the government has approved a new exchange according to an Israeli source and a Hamas, which points out that the fragile arms are still intact.

The Egyptian agreement between Hamas and Israel will see the exchange of the last four counties of hostages. There are 23 children and a woman among the prisoners.

Israel had delayed his release in protest against the cruel treatment of hostages during her release by Hamas and the demanding guarantee that future hostage publications would take place without “humiliating ceremonies”.

The supporters of the Palestinians prisoners and prisoners have again expressed repeated concerns about the delay and the Israel treatment in Israel. According to the Palestinian prison company, 69 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prison have died since the attack on October 7, 2023 led by Hamas, 38 of which were arrested in Gaza.

On Saturday, Hamas published six Israeli hostages from Gaza in two public ceremonies and a private transmission in the final return of living hostages in the first phase of a ceasefire, the last month.

Hamas accused Israel of having violated the ceasefire and throwing some uncertainties about the precarious ceasefire agreement, and said that the talks in a second phase would only be possible if they are freed.

The Hamas confirmed that an agreement with Israel had been made by Egyptian mediators, but did not find out how many Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners and prisoners would be released.

An Egyptian civil servant confirmed that the agreement between Israel and Hamas was achieved according to a declaration by the media office of the Egyptian government.

The Israeli official confirmed CNN to CNN that the publication of the remains of four hostages in Gaza could take place on Wednesday evening.

The Hamas and their allies continue to hold 63 hostages in Gaza. According to the Israeli government, at least 32 of which, one of which, the soldier Hadar Goldin, is dead, have been held since 2014.

The 42-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will expire this weekend, unless an agreement is made to extend it. The two sides should start at the beginning of the war at the beginning of February, but these discussions have not yet started.

The most recent agreement between Israel and Hamas came, as mourners in South Israel before a funeral on Wednesday for Shiri Bibas and her two young sons Kfir and Ariel, the Hamas attack on October 7th in Gaza as hostages were taken on the streets.

Her bodies were brought back to Israel last week as part of the ceasefire regulation.

The Bibas family invited the public to gather on the funeral path to show the two children and their mother in front of a private ceremony near their house in Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel.

After only nine months, Kfir was kidnapped and held hostage in Gaza. Together with his four year old Ariel, they became prominent symbols for the emergency of the hostages that were held in the Gaza during the war.

Her father Yarden Bibas, which was also taken hostage, was released on February 1 after 484 days captivity as part of the ceasefire agreement.

The return of Shiri, Kfir and Ariel's bodies last week caused a lot of pain and dismay in Israel after the remains of Kfir and Ariel had returned without their mother, as promised, but with the body of an unidentified Palestinian woman – a development, They threatened to derail the fragile ceasefire contract.

Shiri's remains were later returned to Israel.

On the funeral route, the crowds gathered Israeli and yellow flags and symbolized the campaign to bring the hostages home, as a procession for the two boys and their mother.

“We are accompanied by the people of Israel in droves,” said the Bibas family in a statement by the Israeli hostage family forum. “We see and hear you” and “are moved and strengthened by you,” it said.
