Hamas announced it is willing to release 34 hostages in the first stage of potential ceasefire negotiations with Israel, as the conflict continues to escalate. This list includes sick individuals, young children, and elderly hostages. Israeli authorities have denied that Hamas communicated this information directly, asserting the list was originally shared by Israel with intermediaries. As negotiations resume in Doha, Qatar, both parties remain at an impasse over terms for a ceasefire and hostages. Casualties have climbed on both sides amid ongoing violence.
