President Isaac Herzog revealed on Sunday that contacts are ongoing between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire and hostage release deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a conversation with Yael Alexander, the mother of the abductee Edan Alexander who has been held captive for 422 days by Hamas, Herzog said that \u201cthere are negotiations behind the scenes \u2013 and it is possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI reiterate the call \u2013 now, after the agreement in Lebanon, it\u2019s time to make a deal and bring the captives home,\u201d Herzog said.<\/span><\/p>\n

His meeting comes after Hamas released a video over the weekend showing Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli who was captured on October 7, 2023, while serving in the IDF. The video showed him pleading for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President-Elect Donald Trump to secure a deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are negotiations with a bitter and cruel enemy whose entire purpose in the video was to demoralize us all,\u201d he said. \u201cOn the contrary \u2013 I think this video gave us a lot of strength.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a sleepless night,\u201d Yael Alexander said \u2013 \u201cEdan, his voice. and the video which plays continuously. You can see from the\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0that Edan is going through hell, he is screaming and his eyes look sad, but this gave me a lot of strength \u2013 Edan strengthened us with his call to us. We released this video, so everyone can see \u2013 Edan is alive, and many other captives are alive and the time has come to do something and release them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of the\u00a0101 hostages<\/a>\u00a0held in Gaza, estimates range as to the number still living, with some going as low as two dozen.<\/span><\/p>\n
