Since the ceasefire went into effect on January 19, Hamas and its allies have released 18 hostages held in Gaza – including five Thai citizens released outside the parameters of the agreement.
Hamas has named the next three Israeli hostages it plans to release as part of the ceasefire deal, showing the agreement is moving forward even as the US and Israel discuss plans to relocate all of Gaza’s population.
Israeli citizens Or Levy, 34, Eli Sharabi, 52, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, will return home as part of the fifth wave of hostages released during the first phase of the ceasefire.
