Negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza have made some progress, but several issues still remain unresolved.

According to the latest news from Jinshi Data on January 8th, Hamas and Israel have made progress on some issues, but there are still major differences on the specific list of detainees to be exchanged and whether to achieve a permanent ceasefire. According to information disclosed by relevant parties, Hamas has agreed to release 34 detainees in the first phase of the protocol, which is one of Israel's key demands in the previous round of negotiations. Previously, Hamas refused to release 11 male individuals among the 34, but now their position has softened and they agreed to release these 11 individuals as 'people in poor health'. At the same time, there are still sharp conflicts between Israel and Hamas on key issues such as achieving a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip. Currently, the mediators are working hard to push the relevant parties to first reach the first phase of the ceasefire protocol, leaving some thorny issues to be resolved in the second and third phases.
