The planned ceasefire in the Gaza Strip at 08:30 will not begin until Hamas provides Israel with a list of released hostages. This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the agreements reached, on the first day of the ceasefire, Gaza Strip terrorists are supposed to release three female soldiers, whose names Hamas was supposed to provide yesterday afternoon, 24 hours before their release.
According to the head of government, Israel has not yet received the list of hostages that Hamas is supposed to release today, which in turn will lead to a delay in the start of the ceasefire.
The Prime Minister's office reports that Netanyahu conducted a situation assessment with security forces "in connection with the delay in receiving the names of the hostages to be released," writes The Times of Israel.
The Prime Minister's office added that Netanyahu "instructed the IDF not to implement the ceasefire until Israel receives a list of hostages to be released from Hamas."
Hamas explains the delay with the list as "technical reasons," writes AFP.
