We continue to destroy more homes in the Gaza Strip, and they have nowhere to return to. The only expected outcome will be a desire by Gazans to emigrate, but our main problem lies with the receiving countries.

Negotiations have been underway for days, discussing the entry of aid and a ceasefire.

Hamas is holding talks with the US administration to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and allow aid into the territory.

White House envoy Steve Witkoff is holding discussions with Israel, Qatar and Egypt and through them with Hamas on a possible Gaza hostage deal and larger peace discussions, a source with knowledge of the talks told me.

We want the hostages returned, but Israel doesn't want to end the war.

Wittkov presented Hamas, through mediators, with a proposal for a partial deal that would begin with the release of 10 Israeli prisoners according to previously discussed criteria, in exchange for a ceasefire of up to 70 days, during which a final deal would be negotiated.
