Hamas is calling on the international community to put pressure on Israel as Gaza ceasefire talks resume in Cairo and the first phase of the agreement is set to expire on Saturday.

On Thursday, Israel released — after a delay — the remaining 46 Palestinian prisoners of the latest captives swap. Twenty-four of those were children. This is Nidaa Abu Sahloul, mother of one of the released children.

Nidaa Abu Sahloul: “Mohammed has been detained for 420 days. He has spent the second birthday in prison. Praise be to God that he was released after all this wait.”

In Israel, an internal probe has acknowledged the military’s “complete failure” to prevent Hamas’s October 7 attacks, which killed over 1,000 people and saw another 200 taken hostage.
