Part 2/9:
Recently, Hamas released three Israeli hostages, including the last living Israeli-American, after initially threatening to postpone further releases. This shift in stance came following President Trump's strong ultimatum to Hamas, warning that "all hell is going to break out" if all remaining hostages were not freed by a specified deadline. The ceasefire, currently in its first phase, is set to conclude soon, leaving the future negotiations uncertain and complicated.
While the U.S. strives for a better understanding and mediation in this process, the complexity of the situation escalates, especially with the anticipated second phase that includes deeper negotiation terms such as the release of Palestinian prisoners and proposed solutions for a lasting peace.
