In a significant development on February 25, Hamas announced that they have secured an agreement to resolve the long-standing standoff over the release of Palestinian prisoners.
The deal stipulates that Palestinian prisoners will be released simultaneously with the return of the bodies of Israeli hostages as part of the first stage of the Gaza truce.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials are currently deliberating the possibility of extending the initial phase of the 42‑day truce, signaling a potential pathway to lasting peace in the region.
