CNN —Hamas has approved an Israeli list of 34 hostages to be exchanged in a possible ceasefire deal, Reuters reported, citing a Hamas official.
The Israeli government denied receiving a list of hostages from Hamas, but did not directly respond to the substance of the Reuters report.
However, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office appeared to cast doubt on the report.
“Contrary to what was claimed, Hamas has yet to provide a list of hostages,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
At least 36 are believed to be dead, according to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.
