Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene a meeting at 12:00 p.m. eastern on Saturday to discuss the remaining terms of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, as confirmed by his spokesperson. Netanyahu's statement emphasized Israel's thorough preparations for future developments in light of recent events.
Earlier on Saturday, Hamas released three hostages, including American citizen Sagui Dekel-Chen, following potential delays due to alleged ceasefire violations by Israel. President Donald Trump had set a deadline for Hamas to return all remaining hostages by noon, warning that failure to do so could lead to the cancellation of the ceasefire.
