In a significant development amid a fragile ceasefire, Hamas has released four female Israeli soldiers in exchange for 200 Palestinian prisoners. The hostages, who had been held for 477 days, returned to Israel in stable medical condition. The release sparked jubilant scenes in Gaza City, while family reunions in Israel were emotional. The White House has indicated it is actively working to secure the release of additional hostages. However, concerns remain as the IDF expressed worries over ongoing agreements and the welfare of other hostages still held by Hamas.
