Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

On February 15, 2025, Israel and Hamas completed their sixth hostage exchange, with three Israeli hostages—Sagui Dekel-Chen, Iair Horn, and Alexander Troufanov—released in return for 369 Palestinian prisoners. This exchange occurred after a brief disruption of the fragile ceasefire. Growing tensions arose from U.S. President Trump's controversial proposal to relocate two million Palestinians from Gaza. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains critical, compounded by the ongoing plight of hostages. With the first phase of the ceasefire set to conclude in March, the future of negotiations and peace remains uncertain.
