Israel, Hamas raise concerns over lists of people due to be freed: Reuters

Israel and Palestinian group Hamas have raised concerns over the lists of Israelis and Palestinians due to be released on Monday, the final day of an agreed four-day truce, an official briefed on the matter told Reuters. 

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Qatari mediators were working with Israel and Hamas to resolve the issues and avoid delays.

Hamas said it wanted to extend the truce. Israel has previously offered to agree to an additional day for each additional 10 people freed, and to release three times the number of Palestinian prisoners each time.

"There is a slight issue with today’s lists. The Qataris are working with both sides to resolve it and avoid delays," the official briefed on the matter said.
