Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will begin talks on a second phase to the Gaza ceasefire in Washington on Monday, his office said hours after the completion of the fourth hostage-prisoner exchange of the truce.
Netanyahu spoke with the US President's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff on Sunday and agreed that negotiations would"begin when they meet in Washington".
Hostages Ofer Kalderon and Yarden Bibas were paraded on stage by Hamas fighters before being handed over to the Red Cross in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis. US-Israeli Keith Siegel was freed in a similar ceremony at Gaza City's port in the north.Israeli campaign group the Hostages and Missing Families Forum hailed their release as"a ray of light in the darkness".
Hamas and its ally Islamic Jihad have so far handed over 18 hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Israelis among them in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, many of them women and children.Hamas sources said a fifth hostage-prisoner exchange would take place next Saturday.
Those seized include Bibas's wife Shiri and their two children, whom Hamas has declared dead, although Israeli officials have not confirmed that. "It's amazing, amazing. A year-and-a-half is culminating in this moment," said Navit Hermesh."We missed him so much, we worried about him so much, and we are so happy that he's coming back."
