We begin with the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Hamas, the Palestinian armed faction, has appeared to express willingness to release hostages in line with Israel’s demands.
According to Reuters, a Hamas official stated on Sunday, local time, that the group had “approved the list of 34 hostages proposed by Israel.” However, the official said that the agreement’s success hinges on whether Israel agrees to withdraw its military forces from the Gaza Strip and commit to a permanent ceasefire.
In response, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement saying “Hamas has yet to provide a list of hostages.”
On December 31st,.. Israel had requested the release of 34 hostages as a first step if a ceasefire was established. Hamas countered by proposing to return 22 surviving hostages and the remains of 12 deceased individuals. Israel rejected this offer at the time.
