Hamas has announced that they will return the bodies of four dead Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, just days before the ceasefire between the two sides was set to expire. Israel has delayed the release of the prisoners to protest the treatment of the hostages by Hamas. Both Israel and Hamas had agreed to the exchange on Tuesday, with no date announced. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, is in jeopardy as the first phase is set to expire this weekend. The agreement will complete both sides’ obligations of the first phase, allowing for the possible start of negotiations for the second phase. Meanwhile, in Gaza, another infant has died of hypothermia due to severe cold weather conditions. The ongoing conflict has resulted in the deaths of thousands and displacement of many, with infrastructure and health systems in Gaza severely impacted. The situation remains fragile as the parties navigate the delicate balance of ceasefire agreements and negotiations for peace.
