Sources say questions remain over which hostages are being released and how.

A tentative agreement could see the conflict paused for five days as batches of around 50 hostages are released at a time.

Hamas demands five-day ceasefire to release hostages.

Vigil-keepers also pleaded for the UK government to use its influence in the Middle East to get the hostages released.

Giving in to Hamas’ blackmail would only lead to more violence, Israel argues, but ramps up diplomatic efforts to free the two hundred hostages trapped in Gaza and largely forgotten by the West.
