Hamas to Release 8 Russian-Israeli Hostages at Moscow's Request

Hamas is reportedly working to locate and free eight Russian-Israeli dual citizens who were among the nearly 230 people taken hostage during its attack on Israel. Russia, which has good relations with Hamas, has requested their release and launched a diplomatic effort to secure their freedom. Hamas has promised to find and release the Russian-Israeli hostages, considering Russia a close friend. The Kremlin has admitted that it has not been successful in freeing Russian hostages and does not know the exact number of its citizens who have been taken.
