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

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Hamas-led militants released three gaunt, frail-looking Israeli captives and Israel freed almost 200 Palestinian detainees Saturday in the most current exchange of a ceasefire that has actually stopped briefly 16 months of war in Gaza.

The hostages ´ condition and scenes of Hamas forcing them to speak in a handover ceremony triggered outrage in Israel and could increase pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to extend the ceasefire beyond its present six-week phase.

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