Current proposal, if approved, would mean release of many hostages who are alive, official says

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

The US proposal under discussion in Cairo would see the release of many hostages who are alive, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 13.

However, Israel would have to show “significant flexibility” on the return of Gazans to the north, including allowing many to return without passing thorough any inspection sites.

The official says the US is leading the talks, and that they are applying significant pressure on Qatar and Egypt.
