British hostage Emily Damari will be released as part of the deal between Israel and Hamas, Israeli media report.
The 28-year-old has been detained in Gaza since she was shot in the hand and leg when she was taken from her home in southern Israel during the Hamas attack on October 7.
According to an agreement finally reached this week, the release of 33 hostages is expected, including women, “children, the elderly, as well as sick and injured civilians.”
A list of names circulating in Israeli media includes men, women and children. Hamas has not indicated his status.
Israel’s security cabinet will meet today to vote on a ceasefire in Gaza and a hostage release deal, with the expectation that a truce could take effect on Sunday.
The deal is expected to be approved despite backlash from far-right members of the coalition, who say Hamas must be completely defeated before a deal can be reached.
The hostages are expected to be released on Sunday starting at 4:00 p.m. if the deal is approved.

Emily was in her own apartment on the kibbutz when Hamas led an incursion into southern Israel, killing some 1,170 people and taking 251 hostages.
The hostages freed in the November 2023 truce told their mother, Mandy, how her daughter showed “bravery and courage,” singing “It’s a Great Morning” every morning “despite the darkness.”
Ms Damari spoke at the official anniversary event for the October 7 massacre in Hyde Park, London, a year after the deadly Hamas raid, addressing a large crowd who had come to support her.
Speaking publicly for the first time about her daughter, she said she felt her daughter had been “forgotten” in captivity.
For more than a year, protesters have gathered in Israel and around the world to demand favorable conditions for a deal that would allow the release of hostages held in Gaza.
Some 94 are believed to still be in the besieged Palestinian enclave, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.
The agreement being reviewed by the Israeli security cabinet is the closest the hostages have come to an agreement for their collective release since the November 2023 truce.
If passed, it could set the tone for moving toward terms for a permanent end to the war after 15 months of conflict.

The list of hostages to be released on Sunday includes Oded Lifschitz, an 84-year-old Israeli with family in Britain.
His daughter Sharone Lifschitz told the BBC from her home in east London this week that she hoped her father was still alive.
“Miracles happen,” he said.
Eli Sharabi is also on the list. Stephen Brisley, his brother-in-law, said he hoped to be freed under the agreement.
“I’ve thought a lot about how I would feel right now, but now that it’s happening I don’t know what to feel,” she told the station.
Under the terms of the agreement, Israeli forces are expected to withdraw from densely populated areas of Gaza and begin an initial 42-day ceasefire.
In exchange, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be able to return to what remains of their homes.
US President Joe Biden said the deal would “increase much-needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians and reunite hostages with their families.”
The United Nations estimates that the deadly war has left more than 50 million tons of rubble in Gaza, about 12 times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
According to local health officials, more than 46,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict.

The Israeli prime minister’s office said this morning, after hours of uncertainty over the timing of the cabinet’s final approval of the deal, that the deal is expected to go ahead as planned on Sunday.
“Pending the approval of the Security Cabinet and the Government, and the agreement coming into force, the release of the hostages will be carried out according to the planned framework in which the hostages are expected to be released on Sunday” he said in a statement.
The ceasefire, which will begin on Sunday after more than a year of war, would come into effect on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration as president of the United States.
