Hamas and Israeli officials have reached an agreement to resolve the issue of delayed release of Palestinian prisoners. The bodies of the Israeli hostages will be handed over by Hamas, along with Palestinian women and children. The families of the hostages have been notified, and the bodies are expected to be handed over at the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Gaza. The release of the prisoners was a condition for further talks about the ceasefire deal. The first phase of the ceasefire deal is set to end on Saturday, with the second phase including the release of the remaining hostages and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
