Israel-Gaza War, Hostage Deal

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu approved the sending of the Israeli negotiation team back to discuss a hostage deal with mediators today (Thursday), according to Channel 12 reporter Amit Segal.

The decision comes after Hamas reportedly sent a response to the Biden proposal which Israeli security sources said was not a "non-starter" compared to other responses.

In particular, the Hamas response does not insist on the IDF completely withdrawing from the Gaza Strip in "Phase 1" of the proposed three phase Biden deal.
