let’s hope it’s a permanent ceasefire and that hostages and those arrested without any reason are soon returned to their families.

I read that Trumps middle east envoy was quite stern with Netanyahu in their last meeting that he needs to agree to the deal.

Yes if they succeed in this it will be a big win

I havent seen a list so I don't know how many slated for release were 'arrested without reason' - do you? In the past prisoner/hostage exchanges have included the release of Palestinians arrested and convicted for very good reasons. Sinwar, most notably was part of the release of 1000 Palestinians for 1 Israeli. The article says it includes people with quite hefty sentences.

More than 50 Palestinians killed by Israel in the past 24 hours. The ceasefire couldn't come any sooner.

Let's hope so.
