Hamas has named the three Israeli hostages who are set to be released on Saturday as part of the ceasefire deal with Israel. The hostages, Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel Chen, and Alexandre Troufanov, have been in captivity for 498 days. There were concerns that the ceasefire deal could collapse, but after mediation efforts by Egypt and Qatar, Hamas confirmed that the release will proceed. In exchange, Israel is expected to release 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
