Hebrew media: Hamas demands a week-long truce before confirming the status of prisoners on the list

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Hamas is seeking a one-week truce before confirming the status of the prisoners on the published list, whether they are alive or dead.


In contrast, the newspaper pointed out that the Israeli occupation stipulates the release of some prisoners first before Hamas is allowed to verify the conditions of the other prisoners.


In a related context, the office of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday evening that the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" has not yet provided a list of the names of those detained during the ongoing negotiations.


"Tel Aviv has not received any names of the detainees so far," said Dmitry Gendelman, an adviser to Netanyahu's office.


Earlier, a Hamas official said that the movement had agreed to a list of 34 detainees presented by the Israeli occupation to complete an exchange process with Palestinian prisoners, as part of a possible ceasefire agreement, according to the AFP news agency.


The agency quoted the leader, who requested anonymity, as saying, "Hamas agreed to release 34 detainees from a list submitted by the occupation through mediators as part of the first phase of the exchange deal within the framework of a ceasefire agreement, and to inform the mediators of the approval."


The official stressed that any final agreement would depend on the Israeli occupation's approval to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and a comprehensive ceasefire.


The official pointed out that the movement does not see a real response from the occupation regarding the demands for withdrawal or reaching a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, which hinders the efforts made to achieve calm.


Palestinian media, activists and sources circulated a list of names of detainees in the Gaza Strip, which is said to be a list agreed upon as part of the first prisoner exchange deal, while the list showed a number of names of those who were previously announced killed in raids by the occupation air force.
