Israel-Gaza War

Big surprise...nothing new in hostage negotiations

An Israeli diplomatic source told Israel Hayom today (Wednesday) that "there is nothing new when it comes to the hostage deal and that nothing new is on the agenda."

After staying in hiding for weeks, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar reemerged to continue to demand that the IDF withdraw from the Gaza Strip and end the war as a condition for a hostage deal, terms Israel considers unacceptable.

Meanwhile, after a full year of fighting, shelling the north and killing IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians, Hezbollah has suddenly decided that it no longer demands a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as a condition for a ceasefire in the north, and as Nasrallah's deputy Naim Qassem said on Tuesday, Hezbollah wants a ceasefire – now.

Hamas, on the other hand, still wants to believe that Hezbollah is on their side. Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior member of the Gaza terror group still alive, told Reuters that Hamas was convinced Hezbollah would continue to tie up any agreement in the north to demand an end to the war in Gaza.
