A spokesperson for the Qatari government has said a four-day ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas will begin at 7am on Friday, after Hamas and Israel exchanged lists of people to be released from Israeli prisoners and hostages taken to Gaza. Majed al-Ansari said he could not disclose how many Palestinians would be freed but that 13 people would be released by Hamas from Gaza. 'All the women and children and those hostages from the same families will be put together within the same patch,' Ansari said.
