Israel has agreed to release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 190 who have been serving sentences for over a decade and a half. Hamas will release 34 hostages in that specific exchange. A Palestinian official has stated that three hostages will be released on the first day of the deal's implementation, with another four being released the following week. The IDF will begin withdrawing its soldiers from populated areas after the release of the first few hostages, and Israel will allow displaced Palestinians in the south to travel north after the release of the other four hostages. Negotiations for the second and third phases of the deal will begin on the 16th day of the ceasefire.
