Fifth Hostage-Prisoner Swap Expected Today

February 08, 2025

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.
