Israel is not letting more than 600 Palestinian prisoners go free right now. They want to wait until Hamas gives back more Israeli hostages. Israel's leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, says Hamas is not following the rules. He wants to make sure the hostages come back safely.

Six Israeli hostages came home on Saturday. They were taken by Hamas in October 2023. Some of them were at a music festival when they were captured. Their families are very happy to see them again. But many other hostages are still waiting to come home.

People are worried about the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. They want the fighting to stop. Mediators are trying to help both sides agree. Families of the hostages hope everyone can come home soon.
