PMO denies claim that Israel, Hamas working on ‘limited’ hostage deal as gesture for Trump
The Prime Minister’s Office denies a report published by Channel 12 in which it claims that Israel and Hamas may agree to a “limited” hostage deal as a gesture of goodwill ahead of the start of US President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in office.
The report claims both sides are interested in reaching a smaller deal in time for Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The report does not provide further details of the supposed deal, claiming they were not cleared for publication.
In a short statement, the PMO calls the report “a complete lie.”
A senior Arab diplomat also denies the report to The Times of Israel.
