Israel Offers Safe Passage to Hamas Leader for Hostage Release
Israeli officials propose deal to free remaining hostages in Gaza, demanding demilitarization and deradicalization as part of the agreement.
- Israel's coordinator for hostages, Gal Hirsch, announced the offer to provide safe passage for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in exchange for the release of hostages.
- The proposal includes demands for Gaza's demilitarization and deradicalization.
- Ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel have stalled, with both sides holding firm on their conditions.
- Hamas has not yet responded to the offer, and it remains unclear if Sinwar is willing to leave Gaza.
- The discovery of six dead hostages, including a U.S. citizen, has intensified pressure on both sides to reach an agreement.
