The Prime Minister's Office announced that a statement will be issued after the end of the holiday and Shabbat. Israel Hayom has learned that the statement is expected to address the issue of the hostages.

Defeatist propagandists among us are trying to convince the Israeli public to stop the war and sign a deal. As a public service, we present Hamas' demands in the latest negotiations. The Seventh Day of Passover marks the splitting of the sea and the ultimate defeat of the enemy. We learn from our ancestors.

The Saudi crown prince and the US president are expected to reach agreements on issues critical to Israel – including nuclear cooperation. According to American and Saudi sources, Jerusalem will not be a party to the agreements.

Senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya says Israel’s offer "does not bring about an end to the war or a withdrawal from the Gaza Strip". Hamas is demanding a "comprehensive package" that would include the release of hostages in exchange for prisoners and "a complete cessation of hostilities".
