Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early Sunday that the ceasefire in Gaza will not begin until Hamas provides the names of the three hostages it is set to release later on Sunday.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the terms of a ceasefire deal that was confirmed on Wednesday, a historic agreement expected to pause fighting in the Gaza Strip and allow the phased release of Israeli hostages held in the region.

Officials representing Israel and Hamas said today that the two sides had agreed to a 42-day cease-fire that would coincide with the release of Israeli hostages who have been held captive in Gaza. The final details are still being worked out, but the tentative agreement raised hopes that there could soon be an end to the war.
