A Hamas leader said that the militant group is “close to reaching a truce agreement” with Israel, supporting similar assertions from the White House.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Monday that negotiators are “getting close to the end” on the release of hostages held by Hamas — but he declined to elaborate on the details of a potential deal.
An estimated 239 hostages are being held in Gaza, abducted during Hamas’ October 7 attacks on Israel that killed around 1,200 people, according to the Israeli military.
Also, in a rare glimmer of hope for Gaza, 28 premature babies arrived in Egypt today as Palestinian authorities ramp up efforts to transport injured patients through the Rafah crossing for life-saving treatment.
