Hamas fighters and other armed Gazans poured into southern Israel on Oct. 7 and killed some 1,200 people, while taking 251 hostages. 48 hostages currently remain in Hamas captivity, including 25 of whom are believed to be dead."
"Hamas, designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., posted a statement on Friday night saying it will release hostages according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump's proposal, and as the field conditions for the exchange are met. In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss these details, Hamas added, signalling a return to negotiations which stalled after Israel attacked Hamas leadership in Qatar in September."
