Conversation: All 20 living hostages held by Hamas released, Israeli military says NHK

A: Hey there! Heard any interesting news lately?

B: Not really, what's up?

A: So, get this! Israel just announced that they've released 20 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. They think only 20 are still alive though.

B: Whoa, that sounds intense! When did this happen?

A: It happened on Monday, after a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, proposed by President Trump. He's even visiting the region to speak at the Israeli parliament now.

B: Wow, that must be quite the visit. What was the deal about exactly?

A: Well, under the first phase of the deal, Hamas had to release all hostages - living or dead - within 72 hours of the ceasefire, which ended on Monday. But they said it might take time for them to return all remains.

B: Interesting... So, what happens next?

A: The focus now is whether everything will go as planned. Hamas seems to be against some parts of the later phase of the plan, especially about governing Gaza and disarming their group.

B: That sounds tricky... I hope everything works out for the best!
