British-Israeli woman among first three hostages Hamas plans to release today | World Newsnews24

Emily Damari, a 28-year-old British-Israeli woman, is among the first three hostages Hamas plans to release today as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

The other two hostages are Romi Gonen, 24, and 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher.

Hamas said on Sunday it had handed the names of the three women hostages over to mediators of the agreement.

It comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the ceasefire, which had been due to start at 8.30am local time, would not begin until Israel received the names.

The deadline was missed and the ceasefire delayed after Hamas failed to issue the list of the hostages up for release today on time.

They blamed technical issues for the delay.
