The long-standing prisoner and ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have finally begun to gain momentum. According to news in the British press yesterday, Hamas has accepted the US’s offer to meet with Israeli prisoners. Following these developments, Israeli President Isaac Herzog made important statements on the subject.
Herzog stated in a post on his social media account that one of the country’s top priorities is to bring back the captives. Emphasizing that the return of the captives is the expectation of the entire nation and that the majority supports the prisoner agreement, Herzog said that this issue is the focus of the negotiations.
Stating that their determination to return the captives to their homes is at the highest level, Herzog said that these steps will also be an important step in international relations.
