Israel, US say no Gaza hostage release before Friday
The release of hostages under a four-day truce between Israel and Hamas will not happen before Friday, Israel’s national security adviser and the US said.
Israel and Hamas agreed early on Wednesday to a truce in Gaza for at least four days, to let in humanitarian aid and free at least 50 hostages held by Hamas in the enclave in exchange for at least 150 Palestinians jailed in Israel.
