Minister Gideon Sa’ar says that the framework agreement reached in Paris last week for a temporary truce and hostage release fits within Israel’s parameters, but they are still waiting for a response from Hamas.
“We still haven’t heard that Hamas has given a positive response to the framework, I suggest we wait patiently,” Sa’ar tells the Kan public radio. “From what I understand, what was presented in Paris fits our red lines, but there must be a partner.”
Israel is sending a delegation to ongoing talks in Qatar which are expected to begin today.
