Hamas spokesman says terror group will free next hostages on Sunday, not Saturday

A Hamas spokesman announces the terror group will not release the next batch of hostages until next Sunday, and will provide the names of the captives to be freed then a day earlier.

The deal states that Hamas will release the second group of hostages on the seventh day of the ceasefire-hostage agreement. As the deal entered into force yesterday, the seventh day of the agreement would be Saturday.
