People gathered in Paris Saturday evening in support of the hostages held in Gaza, hours before a truce to allow their release was due to take effect. The ceasefire, intended to pave the way to an end of the Israel-Hamas war, was delayed by nearly three hours after Israel said Hamas had failed to hand over the list of Israeli hostages to be released.
Israel on Sunday said a truce with Hamas began in Gaza at 09:15 GMT, nearly three hours after initially scheduled, following a last-minute delay as Israel waited for Hamas to publish the list of hostages to be freed.
