Israel has received via mediators Egypt and Qatar the names of the three hostages Hamas says it will release on Saturday, says the Prime Minister’s Office, PMO.

The three are Sasha Trufanov (29), Sagui Dekel-Chen (36) and Yair Horn (46).

The PMO says that the list is acceptable and the families of the hostages have approved the release of the names.
