Day Four Watchtowers Return

The morning began with Trump discouraging Israeli strikes on Iran while negotiations continued. The Justice Minister-Attorney General confrontation intensified as the Supreme Court ordered the convening of the Judicial Selection Committee, despite Levin's resistance.

By afternoon, Israel announced it would not withdraw from southern Lebanon on Sunday as scheduled, citing Hezbollah's violations of the agreement. This decision emerged alongside Hamas's submission of names for Saturday's hostage release, initially causing concern as the list violated previous understandings.

By evening, Israel accepted the modified terms, confirming the release of four female soldiers - Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Naama Levy, and Daniella Gilboa - captured from the Nahal Oz observation post 477 days ago. The sequence represents a shift from civilian to military hostages, marking a new phase in the exchange process.
