**Hamas to Return Hostages and Bodies**
Hamas will return the bodies of two children and four hostages, including a woman named Shiri. The release is expected to happen within 25 minutes.
The hostages include Shiri’s two young children, who were nine months and four years old when they were taken by Hamas during an attack in October 2023. Their father had been released earlier this month.
**Israel Concerned**
Israeli officials are worried about the safety of the remaining hostages. The Israeli military has not confirmed the report, but says it is gravely concerned for their lives.
**Previous Releases**
Under a previous ceasefire agreement, Hamas released 33 hostages in exchange for the release of 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. However, talks on a second phase have not yet started.
**Future Talks**
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has stated that talks will start this week. He said that Israel will not accept the continued presence of Hamas or other terrorist organizations in Gaza. However, he also suggested that Israel may extend the ceasefire if productive discussions are had.
