    Three Israeli hostages are set to be released today. They are:

    Arbel Yehud, a 29-year-old civilian from Kibbutz Nir Oz. Her partner and his brother are still being held captive, while Arbel’s own brother was found dead in June. She was scheduled for release last Saturday, leading Israel to accuse Hamas of breaking the ceasefire deal.

    Agam Berger, a 20-year-old soldier who was captured alongside four others. Those four soldiers were released last Saturday.

    Gadi Moses, an 80-year-old man abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz, where he worked as an agricultural expert. His partner, Efrat Katz, was killed in the 7 October attack.

  • Good morning from London. We are expecting three Israeli and five Thai hostages - all kidnapped on 7 October - to be released in Gaza shortly, after more than 15 months in captivity.

    Hamas says they expect 110 Palestinian prisoners to be released later today in return.

    It's part of phase one of the Gaza ceasefire, which was agreed between Israel and Hamas earlier this month.
