Hamas Offl: Open To Hostage Exchange Initiative That Would Stop War

SECURITY

Wires carrying comments from a Hamas official in Beirut stating that, "again, negotiations on hostage exchange are off the table until Israel stops its war on Gaza."

  • Official states: "We are open to Qatari, Egyptian initiatives on a hostage exchange that would stop the war in Gaza."
  • The comments come in the wake of a meeting today in Warsaw, Poland, between CIA Director Bill Burns, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Mossad Director, David Barnea, to discuss a potential new deal to secure the release of Israeli hostages.
  • Axios reported earlier today: "Israeli officials say they expect it will be more difficult to agree on the terms of a potential new deal this time around. Israel's military operation in Gaza is now centered on putting pressure on Hamas' leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar and Hamas is seeking a ceasefire, leaving little room for negotiations."
