Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a ceasefire in Gaza has been delayed until Hamas releases a list of hostages.
A statement from his office says he instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) not to begin the ceasefire, which was scheduled to take effect at 8:30 local time (06:30 GMT), reports the BBC.
Hamas says the delay is due to "technical field reasons".
The Israeli leader warned last night that the first phase of the deal to stop fighting in Gaza was “a temporary ceasefire”, and that Israel reserved the right to resume the war, with US backing, if it was to break down.
