Hamas says it will release a US-Israeli hostage and 4 bodies, but Israel expresses immediate doubt

Associated Press  

JERUSALEM — Palestinian militant group Hamas said Friday that it has accepted a proposal from mediators to release one living American-Israeli hostage and the bodies of four dual nationals who had died in captivity. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that Israel had “accepted the Witkoff outline and showed flexibility,” but that Hamas was refusing to do so. The U.S. said Friday that under its proposal, Hamas would release Alexander and other living hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Hostages’ families press for ‘comprehensive deal’ The Hostage Families Forum, which represents most captives’ families, said Friday it welcomed plans for any releases, but “without a comprehensive deal, we risk sealing the fate of all remaining hostages.” Israel has been urging Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for an extension of the first phase, and a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.
