Hamas and Israel clash over ceasefire deal amid Gaza strikes

Talks remain stalled as the militant group claims a hostage list is ready, while the Jewish state denies it has received it

Progress has stalled in negotiations to halt the Gaza conflict and secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, after Palestinian officials reported over 100 deaths from intensified IDF airstrikes over the weekend.

A Hamas official stated that the group had approved a list of 34 captives to be freed as part of a potential ceasefire agreement.
