Hamas is committed to continuing the hostage deal and intends to carry out the sixth hostage release on Shabbos and release another three hostages, according to a message on an official Hamas channel on Thursday morning. According to a report in the Saudi news outlet Al Asharq  Saudi news outlet, Hamas confirmed its commitment to the agreement to Egyptian officials. The report added that Hamas conditioned the step on Israel allowing the entry of trailers, tents, heavy equipment, fuel, medications and hospital construction materials into the Gaza Strip.
