Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has confirmed that authorities have received the list of hostages to be released on Saturday and that their families have been informed.

So far, 18 hostages have been released from the start of the truce On January 19, with Israel in return having released 383 inmates.

About 33 hostages and 1,900 prisoners are expected to be released by the end of the first phase of the truce in three weeks. Israel says that eight of 33 are dead.

According to the ceasefire agreement, Israel is going to release the 183 Palestinian prisoners – more than 70 serving life -long or long -term penalties – others are residents of Gaza held during the war.

It is noted that Hamas took 251 hostages and killed about 1,200 people when he attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, sparking the war in the Gaza Strip.

At least 47,500 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli attack, according to the Hamas health ministry in Gaza. About two -thirds of Gaza buildings have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s attacks, according to the UN.

The head of the Hamas media office in Gaza, Salama Marouf, said in a press conference in the city of Gaza: “The humanitarian situation remains devastating due to Israeli obstruction.” He said that only 8,500 of the expected 12,000 humanitarian trucks have entered Gaza since the truce came into force, and according to media reports, supplies of medical equipment and shelters have deliberately delayed.

This claim contradicts UN Humanitarian Aid Chief Tom Fletcher, who said on Thursday that 10,000 trucks with food, medicines and scenes passed to Gaza since the start of the truce.

The details of the exchange of hostages and prisoners were released as US President Donald Trump continues to promote his widely criticized proposal to move all Palestinians from Gaza and to rebuild it as an international travel destination.

Its announcement – about the “occupation” of the Gaza Strip by the US, the re -installation of its Palestinian population and the conversion of the area into a “Middle Eastern Riviera” – has compiled talks on the scheduled step of the ceasefire.

However, Israeli negotiators are expected to meet with Ombudsmen in Qatar later on Saturday.

Trump’s idea was strongly condemned by the Arab countries and the UN.
