Hamas has published the names of three hostages which should be released on Saturday in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel, after days of fears about the future of the ceasefire.
They are Alexander Russian-Israeli Troufanov, the Argentinian-Israeli horn and the United States Sagui Dekel-Chen.
Israel said he would resume the bombing if the three are not released in time. The warning came after Hamas said that he was postponing the versions in response to the alleged Israeli violations of the ceasefire.
President Trump said the ceasefire should be rebuilt if Hamas had not disclosed all the hostages held in Gaza before noon on Saturday.
Since the start of the ceasefire on January 19, 16 Israeli hostages and five Thai hostages have been released in exchange for 566 prisoners.
During the first phase of six weeks of the ceasefire, a total of 33 hostages should be released in exchange for around 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detained in Israel.
The war was triggered by the attack on Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023, when armed men killed around 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
Since then, more than 48,230 people have been killed by the Israel offensive in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health of the Territory.
There are 73 hostages taken on October 7 which are still detained in Gaza. There are also three other Israeli hostages – one of whom died – which has been detained in Gaza for a decade or more.
Alexander Troufanov, 29, Yair Horn, 46, and Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36, were all seized with Kibbutz Nir Oz on the edge of Gaza.
The ceasefire has been under pressure since its beginning, each party taking reciprocal measures on alleged violations. Intense mediators, Egypt and Qatar have managed to prevent it from collapsing.
Israel was particularly furious by the way in which hostages were published-publicly displayed on platforms alongside armed men and in front of crowds of spectators, before being put back to the Red Cross in chaotic scenes.
For its part, Hamas accused Israel of warning what the group says it is the amount of tents and aid trucks necessary to be left in Gaza under the ceasefire.
