Hamas named the next three Israeli hostages it plans to release this weekend as part of the ceasefire deal, showing the agreement was moving forward Friday even as the U.S. and Israel discuss plans to relocate all of Gaza’s population. An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity pending an official announcement, confirmed the names. They are three Israeli men ranging in age from 34 to 56.
The announcement comes after Hamas accused Israel of overly restricting humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip during the ongoing ceasefire — items like tents, fuel and equipment to clear debris. There was no immediate response from Israel on Hamas’ allegation that it had broken the terms of the truce deal.
