Netanyahu issues warnings on eve of Gaza ceasefire
Palestinians watch the sunset next to a camp for internally displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip, on the eve a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was set to take effect
Palestinians watch the sunset next to a camp for internally displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip, the day before a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is set to take effect
In less than 12 hours, the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel is expected to come into  effect.
But less than a day before it was set to begin, the Israeli prime minister had already begun warning that the first phase of the truce would be "unable to move forward" if Hamas didn't provide a list of the hostages who will be released, "as was  agreed".
Those names, as of now, have yet to be  released.
Those warnings continued late into the evening on Saturday, as Netanyahu later said in a televised address that Israel retains the right to resume the war in Gaza should negotiations for a second phase of the ceasefire deal prove  futile.
"If we need to resume fighting, we will do that in new ways and we will do it with great force," the prime minister  said. The first three Israeli hostages held in  Gaza are set to be released on Sunday. Hamas  will then release 33  more hostages in  exchange for Israel  releasing 1,890 Palestinians from  prison.
We will pause our coverage, but will  return tomorrow morning to bring you all the latest  news on the  ceasefire, which is scheduled to begin at 06:30 local time (08:30 GMT). Thank you for joining us.
