  • Who is going to be released and what to expect - Hostages and Palestinian prisoners are expected to start being released from 4pm local time Sunday

The article from MSN discusses a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which includes the release of hostages and prisoners. Under the agreement, Hamas is set to release 50 hostages, primarily women and children, in exchange for Israel freeing 150 Palestinian prisoners, also focusing on women and minors. This deal also stipulates a four-day pause in fighting, with the possibility of extending this pause by one day for every additional 10 hostages released. The ceasefire aims to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, where conditions have deteriorated significantly due to the ongoing conflict. The release of hostages and prisoners is expected to occur in stages, with the first group of hostages being freed on the first day of the ceasefire. This deal marks a significant, albeit temporary, de-escalation in the conflict, offering a brief respite to civilians caught in the violence.
