Israel proposed giving Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar secure passage out of Gaza in trade for the group releasing the hostages it holds and giving up management of the strip, a senior official mentioned, whilst doubts deepen concerning the two sides’ means to succeed in any cease-fire accord.
“I’m prepared to offer secure passage to Sinwar, his household, whoever needs to affix him,” Israel hostage envoy Gal Hirsch mentioned in an interview Tuesday within the Bloomberg Information Washington bureau. “We wish the hostages again. We wish demilitarization, deradicalization, after all — a brand new system that can handle Gaza.”
Hirsch mentioned he put the provide of secure passage on the desk a day and a half in the past and declined to characterize the response to this point.
