The Israeli government earlier announced the names of 33 hostages it expects to be released under the truce deal.
The cease-fire agreement, brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S., pauses the 15-month war that began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas militants killed around 1,200 Israelis and took some 250 hostages into Gaza.
The deal has three phases. The first stage will see the staggered release of 33 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and more than 700 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
Following the release of first three hostages, Israel is now expected to free the first Palestinian detainees. According to Hamas, the 90 Palestinians to go free on Sunday include 69 women and 21 teenage boys.
Negotiations for the second phase of the agreement are due to begin on Day 16 of the cease-fire. The talks would include discussion of a permanent end to the fighting, a total withdrawal of Israel’s armed forces and the release of the remaining hostages.
Phase three would involve the return of dead hostages and the start of a major rebuilding effort in Gaza, which has been devastated by the war.
