Hamas is expected to provide the list of hostages to be released on Sunday within hours, sources told Al Arabiya/Al Hadath on Saturday night.

The group reportedly informed mediators it would hand over the names once the hostages are moved to a secure location, with three female soldiers likely included.

A Hamas source cited “technical reasons” for the delay, explaining that communication relies on physical messengers, which takes time amid ongoing IDF air activity. He added the list requires final approval from Hamas leader Muhammad Sinwar.
