Israel's war cabinet is scheduled to meet later Sunday to discuss efforts to free the remaining hostages held in Gaza, according to an Israeli official.
The war cabinet consists of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz, who is the chairman of the National Unity Party.
In a video statement released by the Government Press Office to mark Passover on Sunday, Netanyahu accused Hamas of rejecting proposals for a hostage deal and said Israel would soon deliver additional blows and increase military pressure. and political to Hamas to release the hostages.
" This night, 133 of our beloved brothers and sisters do not sit at the Seder table and are still imprisoned in the hell of Hamas ," Netanyahu said.
We recall that talks on a ceasefire and a hostage agreement have been facilitated by international mediators for weeks, but have not yielded any significant progress recently.
The framework set by negotiators, according to sources familiar with the talks, would see a six-week pause in fighting during which Hamas would release 40 of the remaining hostages, including all women, as well as sick and disabled men. elderly In exchange, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners would be released from Israeli prisons.
Hamas has told mediators - which include Qatar and Egypt - that it does not have 40 hostages alive who meet the criteria for release. CNN's data on hostage conditions also suggests there are fewer than 40 hostages alive who meet the proposed criteria.
