Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Office stated on Sunday night, "After tough and determined negotiations led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, Hamas has backed down and will carry out another phase of hostage release this coming Thursday."

"As part of this phase, civilian Arbel Yehud, soldier Agam Berger, and another hostage will be released. Additionally, three more hostages will be released next Saturday in accordance with the agreement."

"Simultaneously, Israel received from Hamas a list detailing the condition of all hostages scheduled for release in phase A. As part of these agreements, Israel will allow, starting tomorrow morning, the movement of Gazans to the northern part of the Strip," the Prime Minister's Office stated.

"The Prime Minister reiterates that Israel will not tolerate any violation of the agreement. We will continue to work for the return home of all our hostages - both the living and the deceased."
