HOSTAGES TO BE RELEASED
Phase one of the ceasefire, starting on Sunday, January 19, 2025, will see the release of 33 individuals who have been held in captivity for nearly 500 days, allowing them to return home. The list is not in order of release, and does not indicate the condition of the hostages. Israel believes that most of the 33 are alive.
