THE fragile ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas appears to be teetering on the edge of collapse.
The terror group still haven’t released the agreed hostage list, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The truce, if agreed, would begin on tomorrow at 6.30am.
But Netanyahu has warned the ceasefire deal is at risk as Israel will not go ahead until Hamas releases the list of the 33 hostages to be freed.
In a statement released today, Netanyahu’s office emphasised Israel’s stance.
It read: “We will not move forward with the outline until we receive the list of hostages to be released, as agreed.
“Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement. The sole responsibility lies with Hamas.”
US President-Elect Donald Trump earlier this week said Israel and Hamas had finally agreed to release the hostages trapped in Gaza after the brutal 15-month war.
The world had been waiting with bated breath as negotiators hammered out a peace deal.
