A humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza will begin on Friday morning, followed by the release of an initial batch of civilian hostages held by Hamas after hours, as announced by the spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Majid Al-Ansari. "The humanitarian ceasefire will begin at exactly 7 AM on Friday (05:00 GMT), and the first batch of civilian hostages from the Gaza Strip will be delivered at 4 PM (14:00 GMT) on Friday," he stated. He noted that 13 individuals, consisting of women and children, would be released.
Al-Ansari added, "It is clear that each day will feature a number of released civilians, as agreed, totaling 50 over four days." He continued by saying, "During these four days, information will be gathered about the remaining hostages to consider the potential for releasing a larger number of hostages, which would lead to an extension of this ceasefire." He clarified that "lists of civilians to be released from Gaza have been provided to the Israeli intelligence service."
