An Israeli source confirms a Sky News Arabia report last week that the US is offering Hamas a deal in which 10 living Israeli hostages would be released in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Israel is “barely involved,” and the talks with Hamas are occurring “over Israel’s head,” according to the report.
The White House’s special hostage envoy also held a meeting with Hamas in Doha, a development that reportedly led to a tense phone call with a top aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
