Israel says it got list of hostages to be freed, is holding ‘discussions’ about it

The Prime Minister’s Office says “discussions” are ongoing regarding a list of Gaza hostages to be released today that was received overnight and is being “evaluated.”

“Additional information will be issued when possible,” the PMO says on behalf of Gal Hirsch, the government coordinator for hostages.

It isn’t immediately clear what the discussions are about and whether Israel has a problem with the list, which reportedly includes 11 abductees. This completes the list of 50 hostages to be released in the four-day truce, which can yet be extended if Hamas releases additional hostages.
