Netanyahu says Hamas could release Israeli-American hostage as a gesture to Trump

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander could possibly be released by Hamas as a gesture to President Trump when he visits the region later this week, two sources said. Why it matters: Two different sources said the White House is making immense efforts to lead to a breakthrough in the negotiations for a new Gaza deal ahead of Trump's trip. Israel has set the end of the president's trip as the deadline for a new hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza and is threatening a massive operation to flatten and occupy the enclave and displace its entire population if no deal is reached. Driving the news: White House envoy Steve Witkoff is currently in Oman, where he held talks with Iran on Sunday.Witkoff is holding negotiations with Israel, Qatar, Egypt and Hamas on a possible Gaza deal "and wider peace discussions," two sources with knowledge of the talks said. "These are very crucial days," Netanyahu said Sunday during a closed-door hearing of the Knesset Foreign Relations and Security Committee, according to the sources.
