Israel says Gaza ceasefire delayed until Hamas provides list of hostages | BBC News

Hamas says the delay is due to "technical field reasons". The Israeli leader warned last night that the first phase of the deal to stop fighting in Gaza was “a temporary ceasefire”, and that Israel reserved the right to resume the war, with US backing, if it was to break down.
