Fox News contributor Dan Hoffman reacts to the Israel-Hamas cease-fire and hostage deal on ‘Fox News Live.’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday in a televised address that his government is treating the ceasefire with Hamas as temporary and retains the 'right to return to combat.'

Envoy Steve Witkoff, carrying a message from Donald Trump, broke through the impasse in long-futile cease-fire talks.

The deal is expected to begin Sunday, with the exchange of several hostages held in Gaza for a number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

The first three hostages held by Hamas and some in captive by Israel are scheduled to be exchanged following the cessation of hostilities Sunday.

Hamas remains the dominant Palestinian power in Gaza even after 15 months of Israeli bombardment, holding sway in displacement camps and refusing to surrender.

Netanyahu's office said Hamas had "reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions."
