The Hostages Families Forum expressed joy as three male hostages are set to be released on Saturday as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. The hostages, Yarden Bibas, 35, Keith Siegel, 65, and Ofer Kalderon, 54, will be part of the fourth round of exchanges under the ceasefire deal.
Israeli officials have confirmed that around 80 hostages remain in Gaza, with 33 set to be released in the initial phase of the agreement. The recent release of eight hostages by Hamas in exchange for 110 Palestinian prisoners highlighted the delicate nature of the truce.
