Biden, Harris to huddle with negotiators and discuss efforts for hostage deal

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a meeting Monday in the Situation Room with the administration’s top hostage negotiators against the backdrop of Hamas’s murder of American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose body was recovered by the IDF over the weekend, along with those of five other captives, the White House says.

Participants in the Situation Room meeting will “discuss efforts to drive towards a deal that secures the release of the remaining hostages,” the White House says.
