Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump are engaged in advanced negotiations on a new comprehensive hostage and ceasefire proposal, issuing a clear ultimatum to Hamas over the release of hostages and the future of the Gaza Strip, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing N12 on Saturday night.
According to the report, the proposal includes a demand for Hamas to disarm and release all hostages immediately. Once these conditions are met, the United States would lead an international administration to be established in the Gaza Strip, The Jerusalem Post said.
"We know from testimonies of freed hostages and from the information we have today that the hostages' captors do not appear this way," a senior Israeli official was cited as saying by The Jerusalem Post. "This is deliberate starvation not only to abuse the hostages themselves but to torment their families and the public," the official added. (ANI)
