The Israeli military’s envoy to negotiations aimed at freeing hostages held in Gaza, Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon, has warned cabinet ministers that “time is short and conditions are deteriorating” for the captives, Channel 13 reports.
According to the network, Alon said “stagnation” could not be accepted on the issue. He noted that Hamas has “taken a beating everywhere” in Gaza, that “winter is arriving and conditions of the hostages are deteriorating.”
The general is quoted saying the IDF’s achievements have created conditions for a deal.
