Hamas plans to hand over to Israel a list of hostages to be released during the first stage of the Gaza ceasefire deal within hours, the Al Arabiya television channel said, Report informs via TASS.

According to its sources, Hamas has notified the mediators that it will hand over the list as soon as all hostages it plans to release are taken to safe places.

The first stage of the deal is expected to come into effect at 8:30 a.m. local time (6:30 a.m. GMT) on Sunday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier in the day that Israel has not yet received a list with the names of hostages who are to be released by Hamas. He warned that this may hold up the ceasefire agreement.

According to the Ynet news portal, the list with the names of the first three hostages to be freed was to be handed over to Israel via Qatar by 4:00 p.m. local time (2:00 p.m. GMT) but this has not been done until now.
