Hamas has released three more Israeli hostages who had been held in Gaza. The three male hostages — Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy — were handed over to the Red Cross in Deir al-Balah before being reunited with their families. In exchange, Israel released 183 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. The Israeli government expressed outrage at the three hostages’ frail condition after more than 16 months in captivity. Statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for the elimination of Hamas, as well as US President Trump’s Gaza ‘take over’ plan to expel Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, all risk upending the already fragile ceasefire deal.
