Israel-Hamas Truce Holds After Hostage Swap

Israel-Hamas ceasefire holds after hostage swap, allowing aid to flow into Gaza.

A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is holding, following the release of three hostages in exchange for 90 Palestinian prisoners. The swap is seen as a step towards ending over 15 months of war in Gaza. The hostages, all women, were reunited with their families and are reported to be in stable condition. In return, jubilant crowds welcomed the released Palestinian prisoners as they arrived in the West Bank. The truce, brokered by Qatar, the U.S., and Egypt, promises to allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza while both sides continue negotiations for a permanent ceasefire.
