Israel delays Gaza ceasefire over hostage list

Jerusalem | Cairo | A ceasefire between Israel and militant group Hamas in Gaza has been delayed after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas failed to provide the names of hostages set to be freed.

Mr Netanyahu’s announcement came one hour before the ceasefire was set to commence on Sunday. Hostages were expected to be released within hours of the start of the ceasefire, opening the way to a possible end to a 15-month war that has upended the Middle East.
