Hamas is set to release six living Israeli hostages on February 22 and return the remains of four others on February 20, a significant move amid ongoing negotiations. This is part of a broader ceasefire agreement aimed at advancing humanitarian aid into Gaza. The release includes notable figures such as those from the Bibas family, whose plight has drawn national attention in Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu has allowed construction materials into Gaza in exchange for these hostages, while further discussions aim to address the complexities of long-term peace and security in the region.
