According to ON broadcaster on Thursday, Egypt has received a list of persons who would be freed during the ceasefire between "Israel" and Hamas, quoting Egyptian State Information Service Chairman Diaa Rashwan.

The agreement reached through Qatari and Egyptian mediation efforts was scheduled to go into effect on Thursday.

Earlier in the day, the Qatari Foreign Ministry announced that the truce in Gaza would begin on Friday at 7 a.m. local time, for a period of 4 days. It will include the cessation of all military actions by all Palestinian resistance factions and Israeli occupation forces (IOF).

A 4-day truce deal was announced, entailing the release of 50 Israeli women and minors (under 19) held captive in Gaza, in exchange for the liberation of 150 Palestinian women and minors (under 19) imprisoned in Israeli prisons.

Aircraft activity will also end in southern Gaza, and no aircraft activity will take place for 6 hours a day in Gaza and the north.

Two hundred trucks containing medical aid will be allowed to enter Gaza, and 4 trucks containing fuel and cooking gas will be allowed into Gaza per day.

Rashwan explained that "Egypt has already received from the Palestinian and Israeli sides the lists of the detained persons and hostages, whom it was decided to release afternoon on the first day of the truce — on Friday."

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also confirmed receiving a list of captives to be released.

According to a statement from his office, "authorized officials are verifying the details of the list" and contacting the families of those involved.

Prisoner exchange, truce agreement delayed implementation to Friday

The previously announced date for the temporary pause on Gaza has been delayed from Thursday to Friday "at least," Israeli Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi said on Wednesday evening.

In an interview with Channel 13, Hanegbi said that some last-minute technicalities disrupted the agreement's timeline, but added that they are minor issues that are being resolved.

This news comes amid severe uncertainty among the captives' families, who, as per Israeli media, were not notified of the changes and only found out through news outlets.

However, according to Channel 12, a critical factor in finalizing a prisoner exchange deal is the lack of agreement on the mechanics of the exchange, such as the permissible and prohibited actions during the truce.
