Hamas approves list of 34 Israeli hostages for ceasefire negotiations: report - Negotiators have made little progress towards an enduring ceasefire over a year into deadly conflict and humanitarian crisis,

Palestinian militant group Hamas has approved a list of 34 hostages presented by Israel to be exchanged in a possible ceasefire deal, a group official told Reuters on Sunday.

A group official confirmed any deal hinges on an Israeli Gaza withdrawal and a permanent ceasefire establishment.

"Hamas has agreed to release 34 Israeli prisoners from a list presented by Israel as part of the first phase of a prisoner exchange deal," the official said. The Israeli prime minister's office, however, stated that Hamas has yet to provide a list of hostages.

Liri Albag, 19, is one of about 100 hostages believed to remain held in the enclave nearly 15 months after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel.

While Hamas has refused to release all the requested 34 living hostages, the terror group has reportedly upped the number of security prisoners it demands released.
