Notably, at least 4 U.S. nationals are said to be among the people on the list. The list was handed over to Egyptian officials yesterday in Egypt’s capital city, Cairo. While it’s unclear how many hostages they say they can release, 100 hostages are still being held by Hamas.  It’s important to remember that Hamas has misrepresented and/or outright lied about the number of hostages they actually had access to and has played a part in the breakdown of past rounds of talks.

The Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) has announced new sanctions on Fawaz al-Akhras “for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Bashar al-Assad.” Akhras, who is Bashar al-Assad’s father in law, helped the former president evade sanctions and skirt normal international diplomatic channels by acting as a liaison between the regime and other countries at times. More specifically, as the founder of the British Syrian Society, Akhras was in an ideal position to act as a liaison between the regime and the UK.
