Three more Israelis held captive in the Gaza Strip are on the verge of being freed Saturday as part of a shaky ceasefire deal that requires Israel to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange. Crowds in hostages square in Tel Aviv jumped and cheered as they saw the first images on a giant screen of the three men that were released by Hamas. The truce that began nearly four weeks ago had been jeopardized in recent days by a tense dispute that threatened to renew the fighting. U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to remove more than 2 million Palestinians from Gaza and settle them elsewhere in the region has cast even more doubt on the future of the ceasefire. But Hamas said Thursday it would move ahead with the release of more hostages after talks with Egyptian and Qatari officials. The group said the mediators had pledged to “remove all hurdles” to assure Israel would allow more tents, medical supplies and other essentials into Gaza. In return for the hostages’ release, Israel released 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, including 36 serving life sentences over deadly attacks that were sent to West Bank and Egypt. The other 333 detainees were sent back to Gaza, where they were received by a crowd in Khan Younis. Palestinian Authority’s Commission for Prisoners’ Affairs says those sent back to Gaza were detained following the October 7 attack, not charged formally by Israel.
