ISRAEL and Hamas are due to exchange more hostages and prisoners on Saturday, but the backlash over President Donald Trump's proposal for a US Gaza takeover casts doubt over the fragile truce's future.

An Israeli campaign group on Friday urged the government to stick with the Gaza truce ahead of a fifth hostage-prisoner swap, even as Trump's comments sparked uproar across the Middle East and beyond.

Since his declaration during a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has ordered its military to prepare for the "voluntary" relocation of Gazans, while Hamas has rejected Trump's plans as "absolutely unacceptable".

Hamas and Israel are due to carry out a fifth swap of hostages and prisoners on Saturday under the January 19 ceasefire.

US visa fee hikes not to have material impact on domestic IT cos: Moody’s

NEW US visa fee hikes will not have any material impact on the domestic IT companies as the incremental cost of nearly $250 million is just about 1% of the top four firms’ annual revenue, so they will remain resilient on the back of strong profitability and a structural talent gap in the US, which will help offset the new financial pressure.
