Israel says Hamas has yet to provide a list of living hostages to be released as part of a potential ceasefire deal. According to reports, Israel has requested the list of 34 hostages for the first phase of the deal, including 11 individuals who are off-limits to Hamas. Despite progress in ceasefire talks, mediators are still pushing for a deal amid ongoing strikes in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian groups have confirmed that a ceasefire deal is “closer than ever,” but the exact terms of the agreement remain unclear. The Israeli government is reportedly seeking to release some of the hostages in exchange for the return of Israeli soldiers and civilians being held by Hamas. The exact details of the proposed deal have not been publicly disclosed, but it is understood that the release of prisoners is a key component.
