Hamas provides list of 3 hostages after ‘technical delay’, ceasefire starts

Hamas has named three hostages it plans to release on Sunday to seal the ceasefire deal with Israel. The Gaza ceasefire was supposed to begin at 8:30 am local time but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his military would keep fighting until it received the names.

The ceasefire has taken effect. The three hostages are Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari, who’s also a British national, according to Hamas. Netanyahu said earlier that Hamas had not lived up to its commitment to provide the names of the three hostages it was set to release in exchange for scores of Palestinian prisoners.
