PM tells hostage families ‘intensive’ ceasefire talks underway

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spokes this evening with the mothers of hostages Tamir Nimrodi, Avinatan Or, and Eitan Horn about current negotiations for a hostage-ceasefire deal, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Netanyahu described to the parents ongoing efforts to secure the hostages’ return and provided “updates on the existence of intensive negotiations currently underway,” the PMO says in a statement about the conversations.

The premier reiterated his “commitment to the return of all the hostages — both the living and the fallen,” the PMO adds.

During a phone call yesterday evening, Netanyahu told the parents of hostage Eitan Mor that the government is working on a deal that would see 10 of the remaining captives released by Gaza terror groups, the Tikva Forum said today.
