Hamas, Israel set for fourth Gaza ceasefire swap

Hamas and Israel are set to conduct their fourth swap of the Gaza ceasefire, with militants releasing three Israelis in exchange for 183 Palestinians held in Israeli jails. The Israeli hostages to be freed are Yarden Bibas, Keith Siegel, and Ofer Kalderon. In return, Israel will release 183 prisoners, more than double the initially reported figure. Since the ceasefire began, Israel has freed hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. The hostage handovers have sometimes been chaotic, prompting calls for safer conditions for future exchanges. Negotiations for a second phase of the deal are set to begin on Monday.
