Hamas has announced that they will be releasing three Israeli hostages on Sunday, as confirmed by a statement from Hamas armed wing spokesman Abu Obaida. The names of the hostages have been disclosed by Hamas, but the Israeli government has not yet officially confirmed receiving this information.
Earlier, the Israeli military had stated that the planned ceasefire would not be implemented until Hamas provides the names of the hostages set to be released on Sunday.
This development comes amidst ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas, with efforts being made to secure the release of hostages as part of a potential ceasefire agreement.
Details regarding the condition of the hostages and the circumstances of their capture have not been disclosed at this time. The release of the hostages is expected to be a significant step towards de-escalating the conflict between the two parties.
Both Israel and Hamas have been engaged in intense negotiations mediated by international parties to reach a ceasefire agreement and address the humanitarian crisis in the region.
It remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the overall situation in the region and whether it will pave the way for further progress towards peace and stability.
