Hamas has released a list of 34 hostages it says it is ready to free as part of a potential ceasefire with Israel. The group captured most of them during its 2023 attack on Israel. The list includes children as young as one and elderly people up to 86 years old. Israel denied receiving the list directly from Hamas, saying intermediaries shared it earlier. Families of hostages urged a swift agreement to release all captives. Ceasefire talks in Qatar are ongoing, but no major progress has been reported. Tensions remain high, with continued violence in Gaza.
