Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

In short:

Mohammad al-Halabi, the former head of a World Vision Australian aid program in Gaza, was released from an Israeli prison on Saturday.

Mr al-Halabi was convicted in 2022 of funnelling money from the program to Hamas, though he maintained his innocence and investigations by both World Vision and the Australian government found no money was missing.

What's next?

Israel and Hamas continue to exchange hostages and prisoners as the ceasefire deal remains in place, but the second stage of negotiations is yet to take place.
