The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and the military have announced that a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza is set to take effect at 8:30am on Sunday. This confirmation aligns with an earlier statement made by key mediator Qatar. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that they are prepared to receive the hostages upon their release from Hamas captivity. They are working to provide suitable physical and psychological support, paying careful attention to every detail.
In addition to the agreement to bring home all the hostages, the IDF has emphasized its commitment to ensuring the security of all Israeli citizens, especially those residing in communities near the Gaza Strip. The IDF will continue its operations to safeguard the well-being of the Israeli population.
