Hamas launches 3 frail-looking Israeli captives for Palestinian detainees under Gaza ceasefire

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Hamas-led militants released 3 gaunt, it-viking.ch frail-looking Israeli hostages and Israel freed nearly 200 Palestinian detainees Saturday in the most recent exchange of a ceasefire that has stopped briefly 16 months of war in Gaza.

The captives ´ condition and scenes of Hamas requiring them to speak in a handover event stimulated outrage in Israel and could increase pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to extend the ceasefire beyond its existing six-week stage.

Netanyahu has actually signified he would resume the war, even if that suggests leaving dozens of captives in captivity. “President Trump totally concurred with me: We will do whatever to return all the hostages, but Hamas will not be there,” Netanyahu said after the exchange.
