One of the main issues dragging out talks over the release of the fourth batch of Israeli hostages later today is that the list of names Hamas said it plans to release would separate several children from their mothers, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
Israel says the truce with Hamas bars the terror group from separating mothers from their children — something that it has already done once earlier in the temporary ceasefire.
