Hamas says ready to free all remaining hostages in one swap in phase two of Gaza truce

A senior Hamas official told AFP on Wednesday that the Palestinian militant group was prepared to release all remaining hostages in a single swap during the second phase of the Gaza truce.

"We have informed the mediators that Hamas is ready to release all hostages in one batch during the second phase of the agreement, rather than in stages, as in the current first phase," said Taher al-Nunu.
