Hamas is set to release six Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners. The release comes after a dispute over the identification of one of the bodies, with Hamas suggesting that Israeli bombing may have caused a mix-up of remains. The release of the hostages marks the end of the first phase of the ceasefire, with negotiations for a second phase likely to be more difficult. The release of the hostages is accompanied by the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
