Israel will continue adhering to the hostage release and ceasefire deal with Hamas if the terror group releases the sixth group of hostages on Saturday in accordance with the terms of the deal, according to Channel 12.

Three hostages are scheduled to be freed on Saturday if Hamas withdraws its threat to suspend further releases.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman Omer Dostri asks cabinet ministers not to conduct any interviews on Gaza, according to multiple media reports.
