Hamas has reportedly told negotiators at ceasefire talks in Egypt that it does not have 40 living hostages who meet Israel's criteria to exchange for Palestinian prisoners. That revelation suggests that far more hostages may be dead than were publicly known. Israel has said Hamas was holding 129 hostages taken during the initial attack in October that sparked the war during ceasefire negotiations. Israel has asked Hamas for a list of the hostages and their current condition, but Hamas has argued that it cannot track down and gather the hostages until Israel pauses its ongoing military campaign. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
