Israel, Hamas in disagreement over hostage release list for final day of cease-fire: Report

Israel and Hamas are in disagreement over the list of hostages set to be released from Gaza on Monday.

Israel has insisted that family groups be kept together and released together, but Hamas says it does not have certain related hostages together in one location, according to the Wall Street Journal. It is unclear how many hostages are expected to be released Monday, but Hamas provided a list to Israel late Sunday.

Hamas has also objected to Israel's release of Palestinian criminals, saying the prisoners with the longest sentences were supposed to be released first. Israel says it never agreed to such a deal.

The disagreement comes as both Hamas and outside negotiators are pushing for Israel to extend the cease-fire agreement in exchange for more hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office had indicated last week that Israel would extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 hostages Hamas frees.
