#3 Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir resigns in opposition to cease-fire
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir resigned from his role in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet in opposition to the cease-fire on Sunday.

"With us, a word is a word, we will not agree to a reckless deal," Ben-Gvir said on X.

He also said that far-right Otzma Yehudit political party members submitted their resignations.

Ben-Gvir oversaw the Israel’s police force. He used his influence to encourage Netanyahu to press ahead with the war in Gaza and recently boasted that he had blocked past efforts to reach a ceasefire.

#7 The Israel Times is liveblogging the handover. The latest is that Hamas has has turned the girls over to representatives of the International Red Cross, whose only use in this part of the world is this passive transfer. They never bothered to demand access to the prisoners like they do to Israel.

#12 I think a few hostages will be released each week for 6-7 weeks, unclear. I wonder how the Israeli public react when the hostages released are not all alive?
