The official explained that Hamas has already provided a partial list but is facing difficulties in contacting other terrorist groups responsible for holding the captives.

(ABC 6 News) — In the war between Israel and Hamas, there is a renewed push for a ceasefire in the Middle East. A video taken Friday morning shows the loved ones of those being held hostage by Hamas parking their cars in a ribbon, symbolizing their call for a deal to release the hostages after more than 400 days in captivity.

Recent optimism surrounding the hostage negotiations between Israel and Hamas has given way to mounting frustration as Israeli officials reveal significant obstacles in their dealings with Hamas.
