Hamas has reportedly begun to gather the living hostages in preparation for their handover to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

US brought all sides into one room during Sharm el-Sheikh talks, forcing Hamas to engage directly and shifting mediation dynamics.

Seven others were also arrested over incitement to terror. 

“Hamas will not be involved in the signing process. Only mediators and American and Israeli officials will be present,” said Hussam Badran, a senior member of Hamas's political bureau.

An Egyptian source revealed that though these were ministry employees, they were not participating in the ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas, Maariv noted.
