The list of the 33 hostages set to be released in the first stage of the deal hostage deal was published on Friday.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas is expected to release the first hostages under a Gaza ceasefire deal on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Friday, after 15 months of war that demolished the enclave.

Netanyahu’s office accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt “to extort last minute concessions.”
