Hostage Deal in Israel-Hamas War Resumes, Confirms Qatar

Palestinians released from Israeli prisons were celebrated upon their return to Jerusalem and the West Bank, while 24 hostages, including 13 Israelis, were freed from Gaza as part of a truce between Israel and Hamas. The release of prisoners and hostages marks the first major diplomatic breakthrough in the conflict, with more releases expected in the coming days. The implementation of the agreement and the truce remain complicated, and the United Nations has welcomed the progress while calling for the release of all hostages held in Gaza.
