Talks of a potential ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are slowly seeing progress as both parties plan to continue negotiations. As part of the ceasefire negotiations, Hamas is being asked to provide a list of Israeli hostages in Gaza that could be released as part of a possible truce, according to a recent report from Godzillanewz.
Based on sources close to the situation, Israeli officials are reportedly requesting the list of hostages from Hamas as part of a possible agreement. The source further noted that the list of hostages would be used to potentially release some prisoners held in Israeli jails.
The information came from high-ranking sources within the Israeli government, who also revealed that Hamas had recently presented documents to the Israeli security cabinet, indicating that they are willing to comply with this particular demand. However, the documents also conveyed that Hamas is demanding that the Israeli government stop its attacks on Gaza in return.
This is not the first time Hamas has demanded civilian releases from Israel in exchange for a potential ceasefire. In the past, they have asked for the release of Palestinian prisoners in return for a return to negotiations. While that demand has gone unfulfilled, sources say that Israel may be willing to release some of the prisoners if Hamas and other factions agree to provide a list of Israeli hostages.
The recent developments could potentially open the door to renewed negotiations between the two sides. Humanitarian groups have long called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and this could be a step in the right direction. As the situation continues to unfold, it’ll be interesting to see if this proposal is accepted and a real truce is achieved between Hamas and the Israeli government.
