Families of British hostages in Gaza are waiting to learn if their relatives will be among the first people released as part of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli cabinet has given final approval to the ceasefire and hostage deal, which will pause the 15-month war with Hamas. The truce will begin on Sunday with three hostages to be released on the first day, followed by 30 more during the six-week opening phase of the truce. The Jewish Chronicle reported that British hostage Emily Damari is understood to be among the 33 captives set for release, although there has been no official word on the status of British-linked hostages.
