Israeli media reporting no truce until captive deal is finalised
23 November 2023 00:00 GMT
Israeli media outlets are reporting that the truce will not begin on Thursday morning and would be delayed until details of the captive deal are finalised.
The news, which Middle East Eye cannot independently verify, would delay the temporary ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that was mediated by Qatar.
A source in the Israeli government told the Times of Israel that it was not clear whether the head of Mossad has received the names of the captives that are to be released first.
Barak Ravid, a reporter with Axios and Israel's Channel 13 News, said on X that "Israeli national security adviser says the hostages won't be release[d] before Friday".
Israeli public broadcaster Kan stated there would be "war tomorrow".
