Hamas has called on Israel to enter negotiations for the next stage of the ceasefire, after both sides completed their final exchange of hostages for prisoners under phase one. The bodies of four hostages handed over by Hamas this morning have been identified, paving the way for more than 600 Palestinian prisoners to be freed from Israeli jails.
