Hamas has affirmed in an official statement that the next release of hostages will proceed as originally planned this Shabbos, January 25.

This comes after a representative from the terror group’s prisoners’ office suggested that the release would occur on Sunday, one day later than previously agreed.

The release set for this Shabbos will involve four hostages. In the subsequent weeks, three hostages will be freed each Shabbos, culminating in the release of a final group of 14 hostages on the 42nd day of the ceasefire.
