Hamas confirmed Saturday that the second release under a truce agreement of Israeli hostages captured in the October 7 attacks will go ahead after a delay.
Hamas had "responded positively" to Egyptian and Qatari mediators to ensure the continuation of the truce agreement, it said in a statement, after they relayed a promise by Israel to "uphold all the conditions of the accord".
A total of 13 Israeli hostages are to be freed “tonight” for 39 Palestinian prisoners, in a delayed second exchange agreed as part of a temporary truce in Gaza, mediator Qatar says.
