Hostage exchange is a crucial component of a series of negotiations that have shown promising results. To date, these negotiations have guaranteed the release of 13 Israeli hostages and five Thai workers, as well as 583 Palestinian prisoners. This progress was possible thanks to a ceasefire that already lasts 42 days, mediated with the support of the United States, Egypt and Qatar. The deal has been kept for almost three weeks, providing a more stable environment for negotiations.
Discussions for a second phase of the negotiations began recently, with the aim of ensuring the release of the remaining hostages. In addition, there are plans for the total removal of the Israeli troops from Gaza, which could signal a possible definitive end of the conflict.
