The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will not be enforced until Hamas fulfills its obligations and the list of hostages to be released on January 19 is provided to the Israeli side, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson Daniel Hagari told a briefing.
"As of this morning, Hamas has not fulfilled its obligation, and contrary to the agreement, has not provided the State of Israel with the names of the returning female hostages. The ceasefire will not come into effect so long as Hamas does not fulfill its obligations," he said.
