Relatives of hostages set to be freed in Sunday’s ceasefire say they do not know whether to prepare for “a festival or a funeral” as tensions between both sides soared just hours before the deal was slated to begin.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a fresh warning on Saturday evening, saying his government was “unable to move forward with the framework” of the deal, sparking further concerns about the fragile agreement. He said Israel had yet to receive the list of the hostages who will be released, as was agreed.
