"Hamas Demands End to Israeli Drone Flights in Gaza Hostage Talks"

Hamas has demanded that Israel stop flying surveillance drones over Gaza as part of the negotiations to pause military operations and free hostages. Israel is unlikely to accept the request as it would hinder their ability to track Hamas operatives and movements. The demand has not been formally rejected or accepted, and negotiations are ongoing. The Pentagon has also been flying American surveillance drones to support hostage rescue efforts. Other sticking points in the negotiations include the duration of the ceasefire and the number of hostages to be released.
