Israeli Ambassador: Hamas stopped negotiations for release of hostages

The radical Hamas movement curtailed negotiations on the release of hostages, and also still did not provide a complete list of them to the Israeli authorities, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Alexander Ben Zvi said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

"Now, as far as I know, there are no negotiations; Hamas stopped it on its own initiative," the diplomat said.

He noted that Israel expects the release of all hostages at once.

"Despite all the requests, Hamas did not even provide a list of those they hold, in what condition, whether they are alive or not, whether they are wounded. We do not know what is happening there," the ambassador added.
