Israel says it is studying Hamas response to possible deal
The Israeli government has issued its first official remarks on Hamas’s response to a possible truce deal, stating that the group’s comments are being studied by all parties involved in the mediation process, but offering few details.
“Hamas’s reply has been conveyed by the Qatari mediator to the Mossad. Its details are being thoroughly evaluated by the officials involved in the negotiations,” a statement from Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, said on Tuesday, per the office of the prime minister.
Israeli military says 31 additional captives in Gaza have been pronounced dead
“We have informed 31 families that their captured loved ones are no longer among the living and that we have pronounced them dead,” Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters. In recent months, the Netanyahu government has faced criticism from Israeli demonstrators, and family members of those held captive, that he has not prioritised the safe return of the captives taken by armed Palestinian groups on October 7.
The well-being of the captives has become a focus for many in Israeli society, who have pleaded for their release so that they may be reunited with their families.
That they are admitting that now is a good sign the IDF is ready for a pause / change as well. Obviously the hostages are not getting back out alive by continuing the current 'strategy'.
