Israeli hostage negotiating team to remain in Doha as talks continue

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Israel’s hostage negotiating team will remain in Doha tonight, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

There was a possibility that they would return this evening.

Citing a Palestinian source, the Kan public broadcaster reports that the US is pushing a 60-day ceasefire in return for the release of 10 hostages.

If that does not work, the US could work to free only the US hostages. One — Edan Alexander — is alive, and another four have been killed.

An Israeli official pushes back on the reports on the US ceasefire proposal, saying that the negotiating team “has not received at all any proposal for the return of 10 hostages in exchange for 60 days of ceasefire.”
