Netanyahu warns about Gaza truce delay – media

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is scheduled to start at 8:30am local time

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated early Sunday that the ceasefire in Gaza will not start until Israel has a list of hostages that Hamas plans to release, media outlets have reported, citing a statement from his office. The comments were made just one hour before the ceasefire was scheduled to begin at 8:30am local time (06:30 GMT).

Hamas attributed the delay in providing the names to “technical field reasons” and affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire agreement announced the previous week.
