More news of a possible breakthrough in hostage negotiations. Ynet News reports:
Negotiations over a potential hostage exchange deal received a significant boost Wednesday with the expected arrival of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in the region. Witkoff is expected to meet in Europe with Israeli Minister Ron Dermer and a Qatari representative in an effort to finalize key details of a new agreement.
All sides are now awaiting a response from Hamas to Israel’s latest concessions. Israeli officials anticipate the group will issue a conditional acceptance, seeking to maximize terms as has been customary.
“The Lord sets prisoners free” (Psalm 146:7). Let us pray that all hostages are returned swiftly and safely, and that God will bless Israel with His most precious gift of shalom, peace.
