Rifle-toting militants affiliated with Hamas and another group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, stood nearby. Some carried Israeli weapons, part of the carefully choreographed theatrics that have also been on display in past releases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">On the stage, militants had put up pictures of Matan Zangauker, an Israeli hostage who has not yet been released, and his mother, Einav Zangauker, who has been campaigning for his freedom. They were displayed alongside an hourglass and the words \u201cTime is running out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The gunmen did not, however, prod the men into thanking their captors, as happened last week. Those scenes shocked Israelis, who saw the show of gratitude as a form of psychological torture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/14\/world\/middleeast\/israel-hamas-gaza-hostages.html\" title=\"\">three male civilians<\/a> released Saturday were captured from a rural Israeli village at the start of the war in October 2023. They are Sasha Troufanov, 29; Iair Horn, 46; and Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36, one of the few American citizens still held in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">In exchange, Israel is expected to free more than 360 Palestinians from its prisons, including 36 serving life sentences for attacks on Israelis, according to the official Palestinian prisoners\u2019 commission. It would be the sixth in a series of handovers laid out by the truce, and is likely to extend <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/14\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-ceasefire-what-we-know.html\" title=\"\">the cease-fire<\/a> for at least a few more days. The arrangement, which began in late January, is set to expire in early March unless Israel and Hamas can agree to an extension. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The truce wobbled earlier this week after Hamas threatened to delay the hostage release because it said Israel had violated the deal, including by not sending sufficient tents and other gear into Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Israel then said it would resume the war if Hamas did not relent, while President Trump raised the stakes by promising to unleash \u201call hell\u201d if Hamas did not release all of the scores of hostages still held in Gaza. By Friday, both sides signaled that the dispute had been resolved, and Mr. Trump did not seem set to make good on his threat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Here\u2019s what else to know:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1ie9vib ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Public opinion:<\/strong> The condition of the three hostages could shape Israeli discourse about whether to extend the cease-fire. The three men released last week <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/02\/08\/world\/israel-hamas-gaza-hostages\" title=\"\">appeared gaunt and malnourished<\/a> after nearly 500 days in captivity, prompting horror in Israel and calls to prolong the cease-fire to save all the other hostages still in captivity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Held in Gaza:<\/strong> The sides have agreed to release 33 Israelis who were taken hostage at the beginning of the war before the deal needs to be extended. Some of those slated for release are believed to be dead. If the deal collapses at that point, roughly 60 of those still unaccounted for \u2014 many of them presumed dead \u2014 would remain in Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><button
