Hamas calls for talks on next phase of ceasefire after hostage-prisoner exchange

New Indian Express  

French President Emmanuel Macron said he shared the "immense pain" of the family and loved ones of Yahalomi, who had French citizenship. The released prisoners, some of whom had been serving life sentences over deadly attacks against Israelis, wore shirts issued by the Israeli prison service bearing a message in Arabic about pursuing one's enemies. The prisoners released Thursday included 445 men, 21 teenagers and one woman, according to lists shared by Palestinian officials that did not specify their ages. Hamas has returned 33 hostages, including eight bodies, in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. But it's unclear how Israel would destroy Hamas without resuming the war, and Hamas is unlikely to release the remaining hostages—its main bargaining chips—without a lasting ceasefire.
