Israelis received "signals" from prisoners in Gaza that they were alive. Israel, through intermediaries, asked Hamas to obtain a list of the names of prisoners still alive in Gaza.
Qatar and Egypt, with the help of the United States, are mediating between Israel and Hamas, in order to reach an agreement.
