Israel is anticipating the potential release of additional hostages from the Gaza Strip today, on top of the 13 Israelis that have been agreed upon by Hamas.

There are ongoing talks for the release of at least one dual Russian-Israeli citizen, which has been reported as a gesture by Hamas to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Israeli officials have warned that nothing relating to the hostage deal is final until it is carried out. Yesterday, Hamas delayed the release of the hostages for several hours.
