By Bassam Masoud and James Mackenzie GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel has received a list of hostages set to be freed from Gaza on Saturday by Palestinian militant group Hamas, officials said,
Israel & Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza for at least 4 days to let in humanitarian aid & free 50 hostages by Hamas. Starting time of truce yet to be officially announced.
Israel govt says for every additional 10 hostages released, the pause in fighting would be extended by another day. Hamas is believed to be holding more than 200 Israeli hostages.
The statement named two women as Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz & said they were kidnapped along with their husbands near Gaza border. Husbands still being held, it added.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
