3 freed hostages arrive in Israel as tenuous ceasefire with Hamas holds

Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher crossed into Israel on a military transport after being driven out of Gaza City in a Red Cross vehicle, Israel said.



This NPR article reports on the release of three Israeli hostages and approximately 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of a new six-week ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. This exchange is the first of several anticipated prisoner releases, aiming to de-escalate the ongoing conflict in the region. The deal includes the release of 33 hostages by Hamas over the next six weeks and the release of approximately 1,900 Palestinian detainees by Israel. This fragile ceasefire hopes to bring an end to the 15-month war between Israel and Palestinian militants. The central conceptual idea is the use of prisoner exchanges as a mechanism to achieve a temporary ceasefire and de-escalate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
