Israel resumed the release of Palestinian prisoners following a delay Netanyahu ordered, citing concerns over the treatment of hostages during their release.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office confirms receipt of a second hostages list from Hamas amidst potential ceasefire violations, with female civilians as a priority. The initial phase of the ceasefire-hostage deal commenced with three hostages freed.

The Israeli leader pointed to the last-minute treatment of the seven hostages as ‘yet another proof of the unimaginable cruelty’ of Hamas.
