Israeli officials are being kept in the dark about the details of a potential Gaza hostage deal, according to The Jerusalem Post. The proposed deal includes the release of women, ailing individuals, and hostages over 50 years old. Negotiations are ongoing, but details remain vague. The deal would require the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. A key sticking point is Hamas's demand that Israel halt its military operations in Gaza entirely, a demand that Jerusalem has firmly opposed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly insisted that Hamas increase the number of hostages released in the deal.
