The Al-Quds Brigades and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have reported suicide attempts among Israeli hostages in Gaza, allegedly due to mistreatment and neglect by their government. The groups stated they would treat Israeli captives similarly to how Palestinian prisoners are treated by Israel, with some hostages released recently. Efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza have been unsuccessful, with Hamas insisting on a full Israeli withdrawal and Israel seeking to eradicate Hamas. The situation may involve a potential exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
