The planned ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect at 11:15 a.m. local time after a delay of almost three hours, due to Hamas's late presentation of the hostage list.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Hamas named three Israeli hostages to be released Sunday, allowing the ceasefire to begin in the Gaza Strip.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli minister of national security, resigned from government along with two other ministers, opposing the ceasefire deal for Gaza, reflecting internal conflicts in the government.
This three-stage truce involves the exchange of hostages held by Hamas for Palestinians in Israeli prisons, highlighting the complex dynamics and negotiations involving the parties.
