Report: Hamas's new hostage release proposal

Sources within the Hamas terrorist organization say that contrary to American statements, the talks with US President Donald Trump's representative were positive. According to the report on Kann News, the discussions centered mainly around hostages who hold American citizenship.

It was further reported that according to Saudi newspaper 'Asharq Al-Awsat', that Hamas did not provide any information about the remaining Israeli hostages. However, sources in the terrorist organization proposed releasing hostages according to a formula of 200 terrorists in exchange for one hostage.

Meanwhile, after reports last week that the US conducted separate and direct negotiations with Hamas, it appears that the President's envoy for hostages is backing down and effectively closing this communication channel.

The President's envoy for hostage affairs, Adam Boehler, apparently received criticism and tweeted: "I want to be clear as some have misinterpreted. Hamas is a terrorist organization that murdered thousands of innocent people. They are by definition bad people. And as President Trump said, no member of Hamas will be safe if Hamas does not immediately release all hostages."

With this, it seems that the negotiation track bypassing Israel has been closed. We should recall that Israel is sending a delegation to Doha, Qatar's capital, today for additional talks with mediators regarding the return of the remaining hostages in exchange for the release of terrorists and the continuation of the ceasefire.
