‘Absolutely possible’ Israel will soon receive new US hostage-ceasefire deal proposal — official

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

After CIA Director Bill Burns said a new hostage-ceasefire proposal was being finalized and would likely be presented within days, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel that “it is absolutely possible” that Israel will soon receive a new US proposal.

“We are still waiting to see” what it contains, says the official.

Earlier today, Burns stressed that ending the conflict would require “some hard choices and some political compromises” from both Israel and Hamas.
