The ceasefire in Gaza saw its smoothest exchange yet of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, as militants handed over three hostages to Red Cross officials. The release of the hostages marks progress in the ceasefire's second phase, which calls for the release of remaining hostages and an indefinite extension of the truce. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with US President Donald Trump to discuss the next steps after 15 months of war. The ceasefire has brought respite to Gaza, allowing aid to flow into the territory and for Palestinians to return to their homes. The second phase of the ceasefire negotiations will begin soon, with the possibility of the fighting resuming in early March if an agreement isn't reached.
