World holds its breath before Gaza ceasefire and hostage releases

With less than six hours to go before the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas comes into effect, Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel reserves the right to continue fighting in Gaza if necessary. The ceasefire will go into effect Sunday at 8:30am local time. Netanyahu said the country was treating the ceasefire as temporary and claimed to have the support of President-elect Donald Trump. Israel had expected to receive the names of hostages to be released from mediator Qatar. The overnight approval of the ceasefire deal by Israel's Cabinet set off a flurry of activity and emotions as relatives wondered whether hostages would be returned alive or dead.
