Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hostage envoy has informed families that a temporary deal is under discussion, followed by additional phases of hostage releases. The families are concerned about the government's plan to resume fighting after the first phase, which may affect the release of the remaining hostages. The government has not confirmed if they are willing to permanently end the war, which is Hamas's condition for releasing the hostages.
