Israel received the list of hostages Hamas has said it will release on Saturday and has notified the families of the captives, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stated on Friday.
“We request to refrain from disseminating rumors and unofficial information,” the prime minister’s office said.
His office said that Netanyahu, who has been in Washington, D.C., since Sunday, will be monitoring the situation from “the control center of the delegation in the United States and will receive continuous updates.”
The prime minister, who has met with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle over the past two days, was slated on Friday to meet with House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), with Jeremy Pelter, acting U.S. secretary of commerce, and with Jewish students.
