IDF Spokesperson: Ceasefire didn't begin because Hamas didn't give names of hostages
Israel National News - Arutz Sheva ^ | Jan 19, 2025 | Israel National News

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari delivers a statement to the media as the ceasefire was supposed to come into effect and following the recovery of the body of Oron Shaul, a decade after he fell in Operation Protective Edge.

IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari delivered a statement to the media this morning (Sunday) in which he announced that the ceasefire did not go into effect at 8:30 a.m. because Hamas still has not provided the names of the three hostages who are supposed to be released later today.

“As of this morning, Hamas has not fulfilled its obligation, and contrary to the agreement, has not provided the State of Israel with the names of the returning female hostages. The ceasefire will not come into effect so long as Hamas does not fulfill its obligations," Hagari said.

That was the simplest task for the terrorists and they still couldn't (wouldn't) comply. We will see if they will send a list later today, or if the ceasefire deal is off even before it started.

Hamas is trying to keep the negotiations down to the last second.
They are cutting their own throats by doing so.
If they don’t relinquish their hostages in good faith, as Trump has said there will be Hell to pay. and it certainly will be those under Hamas rule that will pay.

It seems that Hamas is playing the shell game. Do we know for sure that the hostage under the walnut shell is the person they say it is?

What happens if Hamas hands over complete strangers on the proverbial bridge at midnight, and the Israelis only find out hours later that they turned over a thousand Hamas terrorists in exchange for imposters?

Israel will only handing over 95 prsioners the first day. Maybe Hamas is playing the shell game, but they will lose.

The news here in Australia told us the names weren’t given due to a “technical difficulty “

They are happy to kill their own people to win the PR war. Cutting their own throats is not a concern for them.

I know. Same here in Sweden. But how “technical” and how “difficult” can it be to hand over a list?

How can we be expected -by the world- to treat these savages with dignity if they cannot be relied upon to perform the simplest end of their agreement?

Mr. Trump, go ahead and rain hell down on them, (which should have happened mid-October 2023).

For the ten-millionth time, we are dealing with Muslim Arabs!

Any sense of decency with them was lost at birth.

Wake up West! These savages will never fail to disappoint.

Quite right. They apparently needed some more bombs relased over their heads before they understood they better follow the deal - so far.

They aren’t going to hand over a list, or any hostages. They’re muslims and don’t keep their word. Why people try to bargain with them is beyond me.

No ceasefire yet. The IDF just blew up something a minute ago. Watching a live stream of northern Gaza at the moment.

I hope they're about to prove me wrong in this instance. This was just posted at X a minute ago.

"In a Statement, Hamas has said that the Hostages they will be releasing today are Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher."

You mean like the visitor list to Epstein Island?

They may have met their match with PDJT 47. Let’s pray that it happens.

You are correct. Hamas has already statred to break the agrrement. First they were very late with the list of the names - was supposed to be handed over 24 hours before the exchange, not when the ceasefire was starting. Then they are already starting to position their terrorists in northern Gaza following the “civilians”.

Don’t attempt to “deal” with a terrorist organization.
