Hamas hands over four hostages' bodies, Israel frees 600 Palestinian prisoners in final truce swap
Hamas has called on Israel to enter negotiations for the next stage of the ceasefire, after both sides completed their final exchange of hostages for prisoners under phase one. The bodies of four hostages handed over by Hamas this morning have been identified, paving the way for more than 600 Palestinian prisoners to be freed from Israeli jails. This wraps up the swap of 33 captives and some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners under a first phase of the truce that's set to end on Saturday. Giles Gibson reports from Tel Aviv.
