Israeli leaders approve ceasefire deal after day of delays

The first group of Israeli hostages is expected to be released on Sunday.

These are the hostages being released (and left behind) under the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal

33 hostages are set to be released, including two Americans.

For many Israelis, prospect of hostage release is tempered by concerns about freeing terrorists

In exchange for the hostages, Israel is due to again release more than 1,000 Palestinians imprisoned for terrorism who could one day commit another attack.
