Biden tells Bibi 3-day fighting pause could help secure release of some hostages

Netanyahu told Biden he doesn’t believe they are ready to agree to a deal regarding the hostages, sources say.

Some details about who holds whom:

According to the Israeli assessment, Hamas is holding about 180 hostages, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is holding 40 and people loosely affiliated with the militant factions are holding about 20, two Israeli officials said.

And the rejection:

The two U.S. and Israeli officials said Netanyahu told Biden he doesn’t trust Hamas’ intentions and doesn’t believe they are ready to agree to a deal regarding the hostages.

  • He also said that Israel could lose the current international support it has for the operation if the fighting stops for three days, the officials said.

  • The Israeli official told Axios that part of Netanyahu’s reservation is because Hamas attacked a group of Israeli soldiers, kidnapped one of them, and killed several others during a humanitarian pause during the 2014 war.
