"Israel's" Public Broadcasting Corporation reported that 112 Israeli settlers, including individuals who were previously taken captive and relatives of those currently held captive, have filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court.

They are accusing the government of failing to safeguard their fundamental rights, neglecting the issue of captives in Gaza, and violating fundamental laws.

The Broadcasting Authority stated that among the plaintiffs is Rana Guma, the mother of settlers Or and Yigal Yaakov, who were taken captive from Nir Oz. Also mentioned in the lawsuit is their father, Yair, who was killed during the capture, and whose body remains held in Gaza.

In a radio interview, Goma voiced her frustration, stating, "For 15 months, the state has neglected its responsibility toward us, which is a clear violation of fundamental laws," also criticizing the priorities in "Israel", noting that the issue of the kidnapped should be at the forefront of media and political attention. 

"In any normal country, this issue would be the first priority." 

Goma emphasized that turning to the court is not a last resort, but rather an additional effort to pressure the government into adopting a policy that upholds the rights of the abductees and fulfills its legal obligations toward them.

According to the authorities, the plaintiffs are represented by attorney Professor Barak Medina, who clarified that while the Supreme Court cannot impose policies on the government, it does have the power to compel the government to provide clear justifications for its decisions and ensure they are properly regulated.

Medina pointed out that the absence of a clear policy for more than a year reflects a state of chaos, accusing the prime minister of making decisions on his own, without consulting security officials or holding organized discussions. 

Dozens of captives' families gathered outside the home of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Tel Aviv, urging him to exert pressure on the government and Prime Minister to finalize the exchange deal.

The Israeli Prisoners' Families Authority accused Netanyahu of being indifferent to their fate, stressing that "he does not want the war to end, and is running a campaign to continue it."

Hamas says handed list of 34 captives to 'Israel' for exchange

Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas has reportedly approved a list of 34 captives for a potential exchange deal as part of ongoing discussions about a ceasefire, a Hamas official told Reuters on Sunday.

The official, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the negotiations, emphasized that any agreement remains conditional upon an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire. 

Despite this development, progress on these issues appears limited. The official stated, "There has been no progress from Israel on the matters of withdrawal from Gaza or a permanent ceasefire." 

However, the office of Netanyahu disputed Hamas' statement, claiming that the group has not provided any names for the proposed exchange. In a statement issued Sunday evening, the office declared, "Up to this moment, Hamas has not delivered a list of hostage names."
