A partial photo of a leaked document published by Hebrew newspaper Yediot Acharonot appears to show that hostages Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, and Eden Yerushalmi were listed for release in the first phase of a potential ceasefire-hostage deal with Hamas.
The seven-page document, finalized on July 27, was conveyed to US, Qatari, and Egyptian mediators and includes a list of “humanitarian hostages” held in Gaza, with the three murdered hostages’ names listed under “Annex 2.”
The document reveals changes to Israel’s original hostage-ceasefire proposal from May, demanded by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Hamas agreed to most terms. Unnamed Israeli sources claim these changes sabotaged the deal’s prospects.

Propaganda. There was no deal on the table.
Actually, both Yerushalmi and Gat were supposed to be released with the other non-combat women in November of last year when Hamas promised that women and children who were not fighters will be released. But Hamas reneged on the deal. So Hamas cannot be trusted about anything they say and any deal they make is completely worthless.
Why do you need to publish this? It’s insensitive to the family.
