Israel has received a list of names of hostages from Hamas, which meets the criteria of an agreement between the two parties. The first release of three Israeli female hostages is expected to occur today, though the exact time remains undisclosed. In exchange, Israel is set to release 90 Palestinian prisoners, including women and juveniles, on the same day. The exchange is part of a broader ceasefire and hostage release agreement, which includes the release of nearly two thousand Palestinian prisoners during its first phase.
