The news came amid deep uncertainty over the future of the ceasefire deal, two days before the first six-week phase of the agreement ends and with no clear commitment from Israel to even start negotiating a second phase.<\/p>\n<p>The bodies handed over by Hamas on Thursday were the last of the 33 hostages to be returned to Israel during phase-one of the ceasefire deal. Israel released about 600 more Palestinian prisoners Thursday in exchange. The freed detainees, some of whom had been serving long sentences and others who were detained during the Gaza war and never formally charged, poured out of buses in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to emotional reunions with loved ones. <\/p>\n<p>There were still 59 Israeli hostages being held in Gaza as of Thursday, only 24 of whom are still believed to be alive, according to the Israeli government. Their fate hinges on the future of the ceasefire deal that was negotiated by the U.S., Egypt and Qatar.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"Palestinian prisoners released in swap agreement arrive Gaza \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/27\/75220e86-fb3f-4af5-9b12-60e12a454256\/thumbnail\/620x413\/2fe1bb82eb96f4ea377d09686192b446\/israel-palestinian-prisoners-2201569156.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/27\/75220e86-fb3f-4af5-9b12-60e12a454256\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/094f382fd2c67fb5f61b4f329d1d1634\/israel-palestinian-prisoners-2201569156.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Released Palestinian prisoners accompanied by teams from the International Red Cross arrive at the European hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, Feb. 27, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Ashraf Amra\/Anadolu\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The plan was for the second phase of the deal to see all remaining hostages returned in exchange for a permanent ceasefire and Israel pulling its forces out of Gaza. But Netanyahu has been under intense pressure from hardline members of his Cabinet to walk away from the truce and resume Israel&#8217;s war in Gaza against Hamas, which has long been designated a terrorist group by the U.S., Israel and the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu has said for more than a year that the objective of the war in Gaza \u2013 which the Palestinian territory&#8217;s Hamas-run Health Ministry says has killed well over 48,000 people, most of them civilians \u2013 is to destroy or at least disarm Hamas. That&#8217;s a goal Israel&#8217;s devastating military assault has not yet achieved.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli prime minister is also under intense pressure, however, from the families of the hostages to keep the ceasefire alive so their loved ones can be brought back home. President Trump has made it clear that he will back Israel, whatever Netanyahu decides to do, but his special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff is expected back in the region soon to push for a second phase.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img alt=\"Funeral Held For Former Israeli Hostage Members Of The Bibas Family \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/27\/baa39cc9-a8d3-4579-b987-c2c0208572c0\/thumbnail\/620x413\/41ac7dda841d99f01f35a00e136dcc3e\/israel-hostages-2202067247.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/27\/baa39cc9-a8d3-4579-b987-c2c0208572c0\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/571ee109c4ac0f150131c399179136c4\/israel-hostages-2202067247.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">A crowd watches a live feed from a funeral for three members of the Bibas family who were killed in Hamas captivity, on a screen in what&#8217;s known as Hostages Square, Feb. 26, 2025, in Tel Aviv, Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                ALEXI ROSENFELD\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;We will get to stage two, or phase two, and I&#8217;m very focused on that, and I think it&#8217;s going to happen,&#8221; Witkoff <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/steve-witkoff-face-the-nation-transcript-02-23-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said Sunday<\/a><\/span> on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Witkoff said securing the release of the last U.S. national believed to be among the surviving hostages, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/israeli-hostages-hamas-van-brothers-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Edan Alexander<\/a><\/span>, who was serving with the Israel Defense Forces when he was abducted during the October 7 terrorist attack, was &#8220;front and center for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know his parents.
