Hamas has backtracked on several agreements in the negotiations on a ceasefire and the release of hostages, raising new demands including the release of 150 prisoners serving life sentences and an additional 2,000 detainees arrested after October 7. These new demands contradict the mediators' proposal regarding the key issues of prisoner release, which mentioned releasing 125 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,200 detainees arrested after October 7. Israel said the new demand is unacceptable, as are demands to remove the GHF humanitarian aid fund, reopen the Rafah crossing and more.
