Appeals to High Court regarding release of Palestinian prisoners
This is due to the timing of appeals to the High Court of Justice regarding the Palestinian terrorists who are set to be released in the framework of the deal, which can only occur on weekdays.
However, attempts are being made to limit the time given to appeal for the release to be able to begin in the late hours of Sunday.
In each phase, only after the hostages are received by the IDF and their families are notified will the Prime Minister’s Office issue an official announcement with the names of the hostages expected to be released that day.
In the early hours of Friday, Hamas and Israel signed the hostage deal in Doha.
