Israel wants to resume negotiations for the release of the hostages, but Hamas insists on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.

After the death of Hamas leader Sinwar, Israel plans to resume negotiations. The head of the Mossad will fly to Doha to examine the possibility of resuming dialogue. In Egypt, Barnea met with the new intelligence chief and discussed ideas for freeing the hostages.

The head of the CIA will soon arrive in the region and hold meetings with the intelligence services of Israel and Egypt. Negotiations are also planned with Hamas representatives about the possibility of progress. The newspaper Israel Hayom reports a proposal for a temporary ceasefire to begin broader negotiations.

According to a Hamas spokesman, they insist on the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops and the return of all residents to their territories. These conditions are “red lines” for terrorists. Israel's proposal for free travel of Hamas leaders does not find understanding.
