the names of three hostages it plans to release on sunday. 24 year old rami gonin, 27 year old emily demari and 31 year old lauren steinbrecher. the ceasefire was delayed from starting because hamas failed to publish that list of hostages before the 1:30 a.m. eastern deadline for the ceasefire to begin. hamas claims the delay was due to, quote, technical reasons, and says it remains committed to the terms of the ceasefire. benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, had warned the deal could not move forward without the list. and now that that list has been published, the cease fire deal could go into effect at any time. if and when it begins, it will mark the first pause in fighting in months in the war that was sparked by the horrific hamas attacks of october 7th, 2023. as part of the agreement, hamas is scheduled to release those three female hostages in about five hours time, with an additional 30 hostages expected to be freed over the next few weeks. in exchange, israel would release 95 palestinian prisoners on sunday, including ten believed to be under the age of 18. in total, isr

here's a look at who they announced they are. 24 year old ramy gonin, 27 year old emily demari and 31 year old doron steinbrecher will soon be home. also, the israeli prime minister's office is saying four other living hostages are set to be released in the next seven days. the israeli defense forces saying it's been, quote, preparing to receive the hostages after their release from hamas captivity and is operating to provide suitable physical and psychological support with careful attention to every detail. israeli hospitals are also preparing one tel aviv medical center, appointing a specialized team of professionals after clearing out and redesigning an entire ward of the hospital to receive the released hostages. the world health organization, warning that hostages could face complex health challenges for years to come. after suffering more than 450 days in unspeakable conditions while being held captive by hamas. and we are also learning that the families of the american hostages have been in communication with officials from the biden and incoming trump administrations, seeking

in fact, i believe we have a picture of it is to emily is to emily demari, who we learned lost two fingers on her hand during her time in captivity. now, we had known based on what her mother had told us prior, that she had been shot in the hand and injured by shrapnel during the october 7th attacks. there's that picture there now with those two missing fingers, which is, of course, a shock. i'm sure it's a shock for some people to see this image now, but i'm touched not only by the wound, but by the smile and the strength and the resiliency on her face. >> no doubt in all of israel is as well. i was at hostage square prior to coming to sheba hospital, and again, i think this was the first time that a crowd, it was a massive crowd. at that point. there was a jumbo screen there showing the israeli news, and they actually saw the images that were released by hamas, essentially of their transfer to the red cross. and just even seeing those images for the first time, this crowd, it changed jim. they allowed themselves, even for just a moment, to smile. happy tears, cry happy tears and hug each

i'll also just say, alex, those three women you're seeing on your screen there, romi gannon, emily demarind lauren steinbrecher, they are now inside the sheba hospital behind me. they are getting medical care, and this is day one of what is expected to be a long journey to recovery, both physically and mentally. >> absolutely. well, godspeed to all three of them. ralph sanchez, thank you so much. joining me now for more on the return of these hostages is new jersey democratic congressman josh gottheimer, member of the house intelligence and financial services committees. congressman, i see a slight smile on your face because certainly it is a day of relief for these three women. hostages released and the start of the cease fire in gaza. but however, you still have one of your constituents being held by hamas. edan alexander will not be part of this entire first phase of hostages that are being released over the next six weeks. do you, sir, have any sense of when he could be coming home and what his current condition or whereabouts are? >> well, as you pointed out, alex, it's a significant

of caring for the three young women you see on your screen, romy gonin, doron steinbrecher and emily demariafter their 471 days in captivity. as you can imagine, a lot of thought has been given to the medical protocols how to care for these hostages as they emerge from gaza. first stage, they go from the captivity of hamas to the red cross. red cross transfers them over to the israeli military, and there they will be given an initial round of medical checks. now, if any of these three women are found to need emergency treatment, they are going to be taken to two hospitals in the south of israel. but assuming that none of them are in any kind of crisis condition, we are expecting ali that they will be loaded onto israeli military helicopters and they will be flown here. and that is something that could potentially happen quite quickly. you know, one of the great, great mental disconnects of this war, tel aviv and gaza, are just a few dozen miles apart from each other, war raging there. here, a normal ish city. a helicopter flight would be a matter of minutes, so it may not be long now before

these three young women, romy gonin, emily demari and lauren steinbrecher, who just literally a few minutesgo drove past us here into the sheba medical hospital behind me. they have been in captivity for 471 days, and now they have been free for about five hours. we've been talking to medical professionals throughout the day about the unbelievably complex and protracted recovery that they have ahead of them. i'll give you just a couple of examples of specifics that these doctors are thinking about when they are treating people who have been hostages for so long. like many people in gaza, these hostages may not have had much to eat for a long time. and when you have malnourished people, if you give them heavy meals, sugary meals, it can send their bodies into shock. it can potentially be lethal. it's known as refeeding syndrome. so they're thinking very carefully about what kind of nutrition to give these hostages. it's obviously night now, but it's possible that these women have been in tunnels for protracted periods. their eyes may not be used to daylight. they are thinking carefully about

. >> romi gonin, doron steinbrecher and emily demari. >> after they were freed from gaza. >> this wasan epic journey. >> it began in hamas captivity. they were handed over to the red cross, surrounded first by hamas gunmen, but then also just an enormous crowd inside of gaza. the red cross drove them to an israeli military position. >> they were handed over to idf forces flown by helicopter here. >> and then they drove straight past us into this hospital, where they are beginning what is going to be a long road to recovery. >> but doctors say the early indications are that they are in pretty good condition, given just the unimaginable trauma that they lived through during 471 days of captivity. >> all three were able to walk unaided. doctors saying they are healthy enough to be reunited with their families. >> we are learning that emily damari lost two fingers during the october 7th attack and everyone here is clear these women have a long way to go. >> one doctor telling us that hamas dehumanized them, and the goal is to give them their humanity back. >> now, this ceasefire went into

british, hostage emily demari with a big smile after being freed, even though she lost two fingers when she was shot on october 7th, crowds gathered in hostage square in tel aviv and in gaza as the cease fire took hold, and as part of this deal, hundreds of trucks loaded with aid are now rolling in to gaza, and israel is also expected to release 90 palestinian prisoners. cnn's jim sciutto is in tel aviv. so, jim, this is the first phase of this phase. this is just the beginning of that, a historic moment that got off to a shaky start. >> it did. it wasn't clear that this deal was going to happen even in the last hours. there was a delay from hamas releasing, finalizing the names of those three hostages that would be released today. as you said, daron, rami and emily. but they got through and they are now out and they're free. and i have to tell you, having covered this from the beginning, going back to october 7th and what has been a long string of almost uniformly sad and devastating news in gaza here in israel, relentless bombing of gaza, the plight of the hostages, families waiting f

it was the final destination for those three female hostages romi gonin, doron steinbrecher and emily demariter they were freed from gaza. this was really an epic journey. it began in hamas captivity. they were handed over to the red cross, surrounded first by hamas gunmen, but then also just an enormous crowd inside of gaza. the red cross drove them to an israeli military position. they were handed over to idf forces flown by helicopter here. and then they drove straight past us into this hospital, where they are beginning what is going to be a long road to recovery. but doctors say the early indications are that they are in pretty good condition, given just the unimaginable trauma that they lived through during 471 days of captivity. all three were able to walk unaided. doctors saying they are healthy enough to be reunited with their families. we are learning that emily damari lost two fingers during the october 7th attack, and everyone here is clear these women have a long way to go. one doctor telling us that hamas dehumanized them, and the goal is to give them their humanity back. now t

three hostages set to be released in the next hour, one of them is 28 year old british israeli emily demarithe other two named hostages are reportedly romi gonin and doron steinbrecher, with the israeli pm's office saying four other living hostages will be released in seven days time. earlier on gb news, defence editor for the evening standard, robert fox, reacted to the news of emily de mari's release. >> what i would say is that is very cunning for hamas because thatis very cunning for hamas because that is to reach out to britain, the uk and remember the international criminal court and so on. and you know that that's an appeal to lawfare. starmer. it's a very interesting subset to the whole story. >> meanwhile, in response to the ceasefire being enacted earlier today, hamas fighters gathered in gaza in order to celebrate videos released from the region show members of the hamas armed wing chanting and celebrating as the delayed truce came into effect earlier this morning. meanwhile, one israeli citizen has expressed concerns about how long the ceasefire will last until. >> the ceasefire

its second day with three hostages reunited with their families, including the british israeli emily demariher mother, mandy says her daughter is the happiest girl in the world. after 15 months in captivity, came to an end and described their reunion as the hug she'd dreamed of. she says emily is recovering better than expected, but needs time to heal with her family. and in an emotional plea, mandy urged the world not to forget the hostages. 94 of them that are still waiting to come home. earlier, the foreign secretary, david lammy, said the ceasefire in gaza is a crucial geopolitical moment. but he warned the focus must now shift to creating a political horizon for palestinians. >> i'm thinking of the 95 hostages that are still held. this is a fragile deal. it's important that we get to the second and third phase. we need a political process. we've got to roll up our sleeves. israel's got to have security if it's going to step back and out of gaza. of course. and if we are to reconstruct gaza, along with arab partners and others, we've got to be sure that in 20 years time, this isn't happ

we think that emily demari, who is one of the british hostages, will be released this afternoon.trikes me that this ceasefire has seemed as if it's in on a bit of a knife edge. we've had the resignation of ben gvir, a very hard right minister in netanyahu's government. how do you think the coming hours are going to play out? >> well, look, camilla, first of all, thank you for having me on the programme this morning. this is an incredibly fragile and delicate time. there's no question about that. and, you know, as we're speaking in the last hour, we heard that there were some challenges around the ceasefire. but importantly, we now know that three names, three hostages will be released today. and none of us can imagine the level of anxiety that those families of the hostages will be feeling right now. so i think, you know, we've got to really think of them. and as ever, we urge everyone to really work together. this is a really, really pivotal time. the ceasefire, the negotiation, the talks that have taken place, everything that's led us to this particular moment is, you know, is

british time later today, one of them is 28 year old british israeli emily demari. the other two named hostages are reportedly romy gonin and doron steinbrecher, with the israeli pm's office saying four other living hostages will be released in seven days time. in response to the ceasefire being enacted earlier this morning, hamas fighters have gathered in gaza in order to celebrate. videos released from the region show members of the hamas armed wing chanting and celebrating as the delayed truce came into effect this morning. over to america now and tomorrow will mark the inauguration of president elect donald trump as he makes his return to the white house. the soon to be 47th president arrived in the washington area on saturday evening, where he then took in a fireworks display with his wife, melania. it's expected he will also host a rally with his supporters later today in downtown washington, although a counter rally also took place yesterday, with thousands attending to protest the incoming president. earlier, shadow foreign secretary priti patel told gb news
