Hamas has named three Israeli hostages— Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel Chen, and Alexandre Troufanov— to be released this Saturday, after 498 days in captivity. They were taken during the 7 October attack that started the Gaza war. The release is part of a ceasefire deal, where Israel is expected to free 369 Palestinian prisoners in exchange. The ceasefire, which began on January 19, has faced challenges, with both sides accusing each other of violating terms. However, mediation by Egypt and Qatar has kept the agreement in place.
