Israel’s Netanyahu says ceasefire won’t start at 6:30 GMT unless Hamas gives hostage list

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that a ceasefire in Gaza scheduled to begin at 06:30 GMT would not commence unless Hamas provided a list of hostages to be released, with the militant group saying the delay was due to “technical reasons.”

“The prime minister instructed the IDF (military) that the ceasefire, which is scheduled to take effect at 8:30 am, will not begin until Israel has received the list of released hostages, as Hamas has committed to providing,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
