Hey everyone! 📢 There’s some important news from the Middle East. Hamas, a group in Gaza, has announced that they will release six people they’re holding on Saturday, February 22. 🗓️
Why is this happening? 🤔 Well, there’s a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. A ceasefire means both sides agree to stop fighting for a while. This release is part of efforts to make the first phase of the ceasefire a success! 🎉
Hazem Qassem, a spokesperson for Hamas, said this decision also helps prepare for the second phase of the agreement. 🕊️ It’s in response to help from mediators—people who try to make peace between groups. 🌍
Even bigger news: Hamas has offered to release all captives if Israel ends its war on Gaza in the second phase! That’s a huge step toward peace. ✌️
Let’s hope for a peaceful future for everyone there! 🤗
