As of February 8, 2025, 21 Israeli hostages have been freed by Hamas, including 18 released in exchange for over 550 Palestinian prisoners in the first phase of the ceasefire. The next phase involves releasing 33 more Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Ongoing negotiations are working to finalize the details of this exchange.
Almighty GOD, we pray for continued progress in the hostage exchange and the safe return of all captives. We pray for Your divine intervention in the ongoing negotiations to grant a peaceful solution to end the war (The Holy Bible, Psalm 122:6).
LORD, we pray for divine healing for all the war victims. May Your Peace prevail in the region (The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 33:6).
