As part of ongoing ceasefire negotiations mediated by Qatar and the U.S., Hamas has agreed to release 10 Israeli hostages. However, the group stated that talks remain difficult due to Israel’s rigid stance. Hamas emphasized its willingness to cooperate in exchange for an end to hostilities and the establishment of secure and dignified humanitarian aid flows. Meanwhile, the Israeli military confirmed that a potential deal may include the return of 10 live hostages and the bodies of 9 others. Despite talks, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza continued, killing 74 people on Wednesday.
