In a tense moment during the ongoing ceasefire agreement, Israel has announced plans to take measures in response to the critical state of three Israeli hostages recently released by Hamas, as they reported that Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi, and Or Levy appeared frail and visibly weakened after being held captive for 491 days in Gaza.
Their release comes after a new exchange between the two sides, with Israel freeing 183 Palestinian prisoners in return. Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has condemned Hamas for what it describes as repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement, with President Isaac Herzog calling the hostage display a "crime against humanity."
The situation highlights the growing urgency for the next phase of negotiations, which are still stalled despite mounting pressure from both the international community and the families involved. For now, it remains to be seen how the ceasefire will evolve in the coming days.
