The release of Palestinian prisoners as part of a hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas is set to proceed later today, according to an Egyptian official. The operation is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET).
Egypt played a crucial role as a mediator in the ceasefire-hostage deal that was brokered between Israel and Hamas. The agreement involves the release of over 100 Palestinian prisoners, a process that was initially delayed by the Israeli government.
