Three Israeli hostages, Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari, were reunited with their families in Tel Aviv on Sunday, marking the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire. Hamas released the hostages in exchange for 90 Palestinian prisoners, with celebrations witnessed on both sides. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the hostages, emphasizing national solidarity. The ceasefire, beginning after 15 months of war claiming over 47,000 lives, is set to last six weeks, with negotiations underway for further exchanges, including the release of 94 remaining hostages. Final phases aim to repatriate the deceased from both sides.
