Herzog: Despite media reports, there’s currently no ‘real proposal’ for hostage deal
President Isaac Herzog says that despite rampant media reports about an impending deal about Hamas releasing some hostages in exchange for a pause in the war, no such serious proposal is on the table.
“There is no real proposal that is viable from Hamas’s side on this issue,” Herzog tells NBC News.
“Whilst there are many, many people who are third parties who are sending optimistic messages to the news reels, I’m saying outright: According to my knowledge, up to now, there is no real substantial information that is showing any real offer of any process on the table.”
