Hamas recently released a hostage video. Although it is not dated, it gives hope to the families of the hostages held.
In Israel, hope is returning. On site, journalist Bethsabee Salem claims to have been in contact with the father of a 23-year-old hostage, held in Gaza. “It gives us hope, especially since he is in good health, it allows us to breathe a little”he indicated.
The death of a third of the 97 hostages kidnapped on October 7 has been confirmed. Very little information was communicated for around sixty others,
Eight days ago, Hamas also released photos of a supposed hostage allegedly murdered by Hamas. This information has, to date, not been confirmed by the Israeli army.
What about a ceasefire?
As for the negotiations for a ceasefire, there is no concrete progress. Jacques Sullivan, the White House National Security Advisor, confirmed this in an interview: “We’re not there yet.”
Many Israeli media believe many media here insist, as well as the families of the hostages, Benjamin Netanyahu, for purely political reasons, has no desire to stop the war in Gaza. And thank you Betsa Bessalem for this latest information.
