Hamas offers to release all Israeli hostages if war ends and prisoners are swapped
Hamas has proposed releasing all Israeli hostages in exchange for a comprehensive prisoner swap, the end of the Gaza war, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces. A senior Hamas official blamed Israel for obstructing ceasefire progress. Efforts to establish a new truce have stalled due to disagreements over the number of hostages to be released, while Hamas refuses to disarm.
