- According to a senior official who spoke with Axios, the remaining hostages being held by Hamas, alive first and then deceased, will be released 72 hours after the Israeli Political & Security Cabinet approves the ceasefire agreement decided today in Egypt. The assessment is that the release will happen on Saturday or Sunday, at the latest Monday.
Meanwhile Israel PM Netanyahu says will convene his government Thursday to approve the agreement.
