Hostages Return Amid Trump's Controversial Proposal

Three Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas-led militants as a part of a fragile ceasefire, while Israel simultaneously released hundreds of prisoners. Despite the temporary truce, tensions remain high due to US President Trump's controversial proposal to relocate over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza.

In a breakthrough, Hamas-led militants released three Israeli hostages, signaling a potential stabilizing of the fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The hostages — Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel Chen, and Alexander Troufanov — were released in a public display that juxtaposed the simultaneous release of 369 Palestinian prisoners by Israeli forces.

Tensions persist as US President Donald Trump's controversial plan to relocate millions of Palestinians casts uncertainty on the ceasefire's future. While recent negotiations with Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries have led to more potential releases, the underlying issues remain unresolved.
