JERUSALEM/SEOUL: "As yet, Israel has not received any confirmation or comment by Hamas regarding the status of the hostages appearing on the list," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement after a Hamas official gave a list of captives the group was willing to free.

Mediators Qatar, Egypt and the United States have tried for months to strike a deal to end the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

In recent days negotiators from both sides have been holding indirect talks in Doha.
