Tel Aviv/Gaza, 14 March 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Hamas said on Friday it intends to release a US-Israeli dual national taken hostage in Gaza.

Four dead hostages, who are said to be dual nationals, will be handed over at the same time. The Palestinian Islamist group did not specify the other nationalities of the four dead Israelis.

The plan came after a proposal by mediators, the group said.

It is so far not clear when the handover will take place.

According to the Israeli side, Islamist militants in the Gaza Strip are still holding 24 hostages, as well as 35 bodies of abductees.

Previous hostage releases have taken place as part of an exchange for the release of many Palestinians in Israeli jails.
