Israel Defense Forces will receive hostages Sunday with equipped camper trailers and comforting supplies

It's a mix of hope and fear,

said Jean-David Ichay, president of the "Tous 7 Octobre" association

Now, at last, we have hope. Please support us until the last hostage is home,

Efrat Yahalomi, sister of French-Israeli hostage Ohad Yahalomi, said from a stage

We rejoice for those who will be reunited. But for us and for so many others, our fight continues,

he said

There's already the fact that only 33 hostages have been announced so far... The rest will either happen later or not at all,

he said

We ask everyone to respect the privacy of the hostages and their families,

the IDF said

Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement,

he said

Pending approval by the Security Cabinet and the government, and the agreement taking effect, the release of the hostages will be implemented according to the planned framework in which the hostages are expected to be released on Sunday,

it said in a statement

People are longing for an end to this war. To go back to their homes to see what's left of it. Children I speak to tell me that they long to sleep in their beds. They want their bedrooms, they want to see what's left of it. So everyone is very desperate and hopeful,

Bollen said

Here in southern Gaza and Al-Mawasi, it doesn't really feel or sound like a ceasefire yet,

said Rosalia Bollen

It's important for me to make it clear — we are not moving away from the goals of the war, no matter how long it takes — the return of all our hostages home, the collapse of the Hamas regime and the assurance that Gaza will not pose a threat to the State of Israel,

he wrote

We call on all parties ... to take all steps to ensure that this agreement can now be implemented,

a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said

A complex decision — the price of the deal is very high, but we have a supreme moral obligation to bring our brothers and sisters home,

he wrote

With all my heart, I embrace the families of the hostages, especially those who know that their loved ones will not return in the first stage. We must bring everyone back. Everyone! We will not rest or relent until this happens,

he wrote

I harbor no illusions — the deal will bring with it great challenges and painful, agonizing moments that we will need to overcome and face together."

Herzog also pointed to the challenges, writing

We will hunt you down, we will find you and lock you up,

New South Wales state police minister Yasmin Catley said

Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister

The government has approved the hostage return plan,

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement,

The commissioner of the Israel Prison Service, Major General Kobi Yakobi, instructed that... to prevent public displays of joy in Ashkelon and other areas of Israel, the escort from 'Shikma' Prison will not be handled by civilian buses of the [International Committee of the] Red Cross,

the statement said

It is important that the first steps are taken successfully and that all those who bear responsibility then remain on this path,

she added

What we are seeing on our streets is totally un-Australian,

she said

This moment of the releases is an emotional and psychological trigger for something they were supposed to experience, and they never will experience, because this deal took too long,
