The Prime Minister’s Office says “all the families of the hostages were informed” of Hamas’s announcement that it is postponing the hostage-prisoner exchange slated for Saturday, over alleged Israeli violation of the ceasefire deal.

The families were “made aware that the State of Israel is committed to respecting the agreement,” the PMO says.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding security consultations following the Hamas statement and will convene the security cabinet tomorrow morning.
