Hamas: Ceasefire Obstacles with Israel Resolved

Hamas will soon release a list of prisoners to be freed by Israel as part of a ceasefire agreement.

According to a Hamas statement, impediments to the comprehensive ceasefire agreement reached earlier this week have been resolved. The statement, released Friday, attributes the breakthrough to the successful resolution of obstacles caused by Israel’s initial failure to meet the terms of the agreement. Although specifics regarding these obstacles weren’t detailed, Hamas emphasized its pursuit of a prisoner exchange involving all factions and members of the Palestinian population.

The statement credits unnamed mediators—likely including Qatar and Egypt, given their prominent roles in the peace process—for their substantial contributions in overcoming these hurdles. The group added that it will soon publicize the list of Palestinian prisoners slated for release in the initial phase of the prisoner exchange.
