Gaza Strip
Hamas clarifies that ceasefire must be implemented to release American-Israeli
Hamas has announced that it will only release an American-Israeli citizen, Edan Alexander, and the bodies of four other hostages if Israel implements the existing ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

Additionally, long-delayed talks over the ceasefire's second phase would need to begin within 50 days. Hamas made this offer as part of closed-door talks, but Israel has yet to comment on the proposal. This event took place on 03/15/2025.
