Israel's hardline National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and two other ministers from his nationalist-religious party have resigned from their posts in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government over the Gaza ceasefire agreement, their party said on Monday, Reuters reported.

The agency reports that the Jewish Power party is no longer part of the ruling coalition, but has said it will not try to topple Netanyahu's government.

The ceasefire in Gaza came into effect at around 10:15 a.m. today.

It was scheduled to take place earlier this morning, but was postponed after Netanyahu asked Hamas to provide a list of hostages who were due to be released during the day, and Hamas said it could not do so for "technical" reasons.
