Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has stated that a ceasefire in Gaza, scheduled to begin this morning, will not take place unless Hamas provides a list of hostages to be released.
A long-anticipated ceasefire for Gaza, which has been the target of a significant military campaign by Israel for the past 15 months, was set to take effect at 8:30am local time today. This ceasefire comes after prolonged efforts to reach an agreement amid ongoing conflict in the region.
