Hamas released the names of four female hostages it plans to release on Sunday as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement — but Israel says the list does not comply with the deal.
20-year-old Karina Ariev, 20-year-old Daniella Gilboa, 20-year-old Naama Levy, and 19-year-old Liri Albag are set to be released. All four of the women are Israeli Defense Force soldiers who were abducted from the Nahal-Oz base on October 7.
The women were seen in a video from their abduction that sparked outrage in May, showing the terrorists calling the bloodied women “so beautiful” and “sabaya,” which can be translated to “sex slave” or “young woman,” depending on the pronunciation.
Each woman will be exchanged for as many as 50 Palestinian prisoners, according to the agreement. The prisoners will include terrorists serving life sentences. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office said Hamas’s list with Ariev, Gilboa, Levy, and Albag does not comply with the agreement, citing the deal stating that one of the hostages should be a civilian.
Under the first phase of the deal, an additional 26 hostages will be released, in addition to Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari, the women who were released last week in exchange for 90 Palestinian prisoners. Hamas is also expected to release a list with the status of the remaining 26 hostages. The list will contain two Americans: Keith Siegel, 65, and Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36.
The fate of the remaining 64 hostages in Gaza will be addressed in the later phases of the agreement.
Levy was seen in a viral video from the attack that showed her in bloodied sweatpants being shoved into a vehicle. The footage raised concerns she had been sexually assaulted, though her brother said that in the 50 days of her captivity, she was not a victim of sexual violence, The Jerusalem Post reported. Levy previously volunteered for the United Nations, Red Cross, and Hands of Peace—a group that promised coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Jerusalamite Ariev, known for her love of cooking, singing, dancing, and writing, was able to speak to her parents twice in the moments before she was abducted. Her sister told the Daily Mail that she was instructed to “keep our parents safe and to be strong and not to wallow in sorrow but to continue living.”

Gilboa, who was seen in a July Hamas propaganda video, is deeply missed by her boyfriend who reportedly asked her parents for a blessing to propose to her.
“My son asked her parents for her hand in marriage, to which they answered yes, even though they are only 19-20 years old. Right after that, he shouted to the sky – ‘I’m going to propose to you!’” the boyfriend’s father reportedly said. “He prays that she will come back soon and be reunited with him and her family.”
Albag, who was abducted only a day after she started her work as an observer at Nahal-Oz base, was seen in a Hamas propaganda video in January where she said she and the others are “living in a nightmare.” Albag was held as a domestic slave together with rescued hostage Noa Argamani.
