US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy told the Palestinian militant group Hamas hostage families on Saturday that they were working with the Israeli government on a plan that would effectively end the war in Gaza.
Trump has made the dispute a major priority for its administration, though talks have decreased. Stevetkov is visiting Israel because his government is under pressure from the situation of humanitarian raids.
In a recording of a Reuters review meeting, Viettov has heard saying: “We have a very good project that we are working with the Israeli government collectively, with Prime Minister Netanyahu … for the reconstruction of Gaza. This means ending the war.”
The White House did not immediately respond to the request to comment on their remarks.
Vaticov also said that Hamas was ready to disarm the war, though the group has repeatedly said that it will not save its weapons.
In response, Hamas, which has dominated Gaza since 2007, but Israel has been militarily attacked in the war, saying it will not abandon the “armed resistance” unless the “independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state” was established with Jerusalem.
The indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel were intended to take a 60 -day ceasefire in the Gaza War and to release half the hostages that ended last week in Dead Lock.
On Saturday, Hamas released its second video in two days of Israeli hostage Avatar David. In it, David, skeleton to skeleton, is shown digging a hole, which says in this video, for his grave.
“They are on the absolute side of death,” David’s brother Ala said at a rally in support of the hostages in Tel Aviv, where thousands of people were holding posters of prisoners and shouted for their immediate release.
“In the current irreversible state, only the days left to stay with them.”
“The world cannot remain silent in front of difficult images that are the result of deliberate abuse of the hostages, including the misconduct,” said Jadon Sarar, Israeli Foreign Minister for Foreign Affairs.
On Thursday, the Prime Minister met with the Prime Minister, who arrived in Israel, who arrived in Israel, arrived in Israel, who suffered a global scream with the devastation in Gaza and the growing hunger for 2.2 million people.
Subsequently, a senior Israeli official said there was an understanding between Israel and Washington that a plan to issue some hostages needs to be issued on all hostages, disrupting Hamas and ending the Gaza Strip, and calling for an end to Israel’s war.

On Tuesday, Qatar and Egypt, which are mediocre in the ceasefire efforts, endorsed a statement from France and Saudi Arabia, while measures were taken to resolve the two states of Israel and Palestine conflict. As part of this, he said that Hamas would have to hand over his arms to the Western -backed Palestinian Authority.
The crisis in Gaza has also indicated the Western powers to declare a series of powers that they can recognize the Palestinian state.
On Friday, Vaticov visited the US -backed relief operation in southern Gaza, which the United Nations has partially accused of deadly conditions in the enclave, saying it has tried to get food and other aid to people there.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, Israel has died in recent weeks due to malnutrition shortages in recent weeks after the enclave has been disconnected for about three months from March to May. He said Saturday that he had recorded seven more deaths, including a child, from Friday.
Israel has accused Hamas of suffering in Gaza, saying it is taking steps to get further assistance to reach its population, including fighting for some parts of the day, declaring air drops and safeguards for relief convoys.
UN agencies have said that food planes are inadequate and that Israel should provide more assistance through the land and reduce its access quickly.
According to Israeli figures, the Gaza war began when Hamas killed more than 1,200 people and took 251 hostages in the attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. According to Gaza health officials, Israeli aggression has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians after that.
According to Israeli officials, there are now 50 hostages in Gaza, of which only 20 are believed to be alive.
