Palestinian terrorist group\u00a0Hamas\u00a0<\/span>announced the\u00a0names\u00a0<\/span>on Friday of\u00a0four\u00a0<\/span>Israeli\u00a0<\/span>women soldier\u00a0hostage<\/span>s to be\u00a0released\u00a0<\/span>in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in the second swap under the ceasefire\u00a0deal\u00a0<\/span>in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag would be\u00a0released\u00a0<\/span>on Saturday, the group said<\/span><\/p>\n

The exchange, expected to begin on Saturday afternoon, follows the release on the ceasefire\u2019s first day last Sunday of three\u00a0Israeli\u00a0<\/span>women and 90 Palestinian prisoners, the first such exchange for more than a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office confirmed that the list had been received from the mediators. Israel\u2019s response would be presented later, it said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israeli\u00a0<\/span>media reported that the list of\u00a0hostage<\/span>s slated for release was not in line with the original agreement, but it was not immediately clear whether this would have any impact on the planned exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later on Friday, a Hamas official told Reuters\u00a0Israel\u00a0<\/span>had asked through the mediators that the group replaces one of the soldiers, Albag, with a female civilian, Arbel Yehoud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked why the switch had been requested, he replied: \u201cIt is technical and has to do with the situation in the field,\u201d without elaborating.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the six-week first phase of the Gaza ceasefire, Israel has agreed to release 50 Palestinian prisoners for every\u00a0female\u00a0<\/span>soldier\u00a0released<\/span>, officials have said. That suggests that 200 Palestinian prisoners would be\u00a0released\u00a0<\/span>in return for the\u00a0four<\/span>. The Palestinians slated to be released from Israeli jails were largely detained for involvement in terrorist activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hamas\u00a0<\/span>prisoners media office said it expected to get the\u00a0names\u00a0<\/span>of 200 Palestinians to be freed on Saturday in the coming hours. It said the list was expected to include 120 prisoners serving life sentences and 80 prisoners with other lengthy sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the release of the first three women on Sunday and the recovery of the body of an\u00a0Israeli\u00a0<\/span>soldier missing for a decade, Israel says 94\u00a0Israeli<\/span>s and foreigners remain held in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ceasefire agreement, worked out after months of on-off negotiations brokered by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the United States, halted the fighting for the first time since a truce that lasted just a week in November 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first phase,\u00a0Hamas\u00a0<\/span>has agreed to release 33\u00a0hostage<\/span>s in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in\u00a0Israeli\u00a0<\/span>jails.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a subsequent phase, the two sides would negotiate the exchange of the remaining\u00a0hostage<\/span>s and the withdrawal of\u00a0Israeli\u00a0<\/span>forces from Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamas started the war when it led an invasion of and massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. During the onslaught, Palestinian terrorists murdered 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 hostages. Israel responded with a military campaign aimed at freeing the hostages and dismantling Hamas\u2019s military and governing capabilities in neighboring Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

The release of the first three\u00a0hostage<\/span>s last week brought an emotional response from\u00a0Israeli<\/span>s. But the phased release has drawn protests from some\u00a0Israeli<\/span>s who fear the\u00a0deal\u00a0<\/span>will break down after women, children, elderly, and ill\u00a0hostage<\/span>s are freed in the first phase, condemning male\u00a0hostage<\/span>s of military age whose fate is not to be resolved until later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Others, including some in the government, feel the\u00a0deal\u00a0<\/span>hands a victory to\u00a0Hamas<\/span>, which has reasserted its presence in Gaza despite vows of\u00a0Israeli\u00a0<\/span>leaders to destroy it. Hardliners, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, have demanded that Israel resume fighting at the end of the first phase.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of\u00a0Hamas<\/span>\u2018s top leadership and thousands of its fighters have been killed but the group\u2019s police have returned to the streets since the ceasefire.<\/span><\/p>\n
