On Monday, Hamas announced to news agencies that it had approved a list of 34 captives to be released as part of a possible ceasefire agreement. The list, reportedly proposed by Israel, marks a potential step toward easing tensions between the two sides.

However, Hamas has expressed disappointment, telling Reuters that it has seen no tangible progress or response from Israel regarding the request. The impasse highlights the ongoing challenges in reaching a lasting resolution, despite efforts to negotiate the release of hostages and establish a ceasefire.

As the situation continues to unfold, both sides remain at an impasse, raising concerns over the prospects for peace in the region.
