Israel, Hamas complete sixth hostage, prisoner swap

Israel and Hamas successfully completed their sixth exchange of hostages and prisoners amid a fragile ceasefire, with three Israeli captives—Argentinian-Israeli Iair Horn, American-Israeli Sagui Dekel Chen, and Russian-Israeli Alexander Troufanov—being released in better condition than previous hostages. The exchange was accompanied by the release of 369 Palestinian prisoners, highlighting the ongoing complexities of the conflict. Following their release, the Israeli captives urged leaders to ensure the continuation of the ceasefire and the release of all remaining hostages, noting the urgency of the situation. The ongoing war has resulted in substantial casualties, with over 48,000 Palestinians reported killed, predominantly women and children. Amidst the exchanges, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza, a move met with resistance from Arab nations and Palestinians. The situation remains tense, as both sides navigate the fragile peace and potential future negotiations.
