The Prime Minister's Office issued a sharp denial Wednesday of reports claiming Israel would agree to a 6-8 week ceasefire in exchange for lists of living and deceased hostages, dismissing the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar's story as "absolutely false and another part of Hamas' psychological warfare against hostage families and Israeli citizens."
The denial followed National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's concerned response on X: "If the report about Israel paying with six weeks of ceasefire for a 'list' is true, this would be bankruptcy. I strongly hope this is false information!"
