France says hostage deal must go ahead ‘without further delay’

France says an agreement between Israel and Hamas on the release of 50 hostages in exchange for a security prisoners and a humanitarian truce should go ahead “without further delay.”

Paris is also urging “the immediate release of all hostages,” says Anne-Claire Legendre, spokeswoman for the French foreign ministry. “We call for the terms of this agreement to be fully respected,” she adds.

Israel has made a truce deal with the Palestinian terror group but it says no hostages are expected to be released until at least tomorrow.
