Hamdan states that prisoners will be released in the morning, before the US President Donald Trump joins the planned summit on Gaza in Egypt, according to AFP.
According to the signed agreement, the prisoner exchange will begin on Monday morning as agreed, says Osama Hamdan.
Hamas is expected to release the Israeli hostages, where 20 people are still considered to be alive, in exchange for approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
The release is part of the first phase of the US peace plan for the war between Israel and Hamas. Gal Hirsh, who coordinates the Israeli work to get the hostages back, states that Hamas's 72-hour deadline for the release began at 12.00 on Friday.
Within that framework, the living hostages will be handed over to us. We also expect the remains of the hostages to be returned to us, he says to Haaretz.
Monday's summit in Egypt gathers a number of world leaders for talks on the situation in Gaza and future steps in a peace agreement.
Donald Trump has previously stated that he will also visit Israel on Monday to, among other things, speak in the country's parliament, the Knesset. According to information from Times of Israel the US President is expected to carry out the visit in the morning and leave the country around lunchtime.
