Sticking to the Deal Israel Urged to Complete Gaza Truce Ahead of Next Swap

Recent comments by United States President Donald Trump have raised concerns about the future of the Gaza truce, prompting an Israeli campaign group to urge the government to adhere to the agreement ahead of a fifth hostage-prisoner swap.

As negotiations for the second stage of the ceasefire are set to begin on Monday, it is crucial that Israel and Hamas finalize the first stage by securing the release of all hostages. Since January 19, both sides have completed four swaps as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, with Palestinian militants releasing 18 hostages in exchange for approximately 600 Palestinian prisoners released from Israeli jails.

The fragile truce aims to secure the release of 33 additional hostages during its initial 42-day phase, with the fifth swap scheduled for Saturday. However, amidst uncertainty triggered by Trump's remarks, it is essential that Israel and Hamas work together to complete the final details of the agreement and ensure the return of all hostages.
