An Israel official said that discussions with the Trump administration over the decision were ongoing. “There is a growing understanding that Hamas is not interested in a deal,” said the official, one of several people familiar with details of sensitive decision-making on Gaza who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The White House did not respond to questions on the Israeli plans, and declined to expand on comments Saturday by Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy on the negotiations. Witkoff told hostage families in Tel Aviv that his proposal for a temporary ceasefire and the return of about half of 20 living Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza “doesn’t work and we’ve tried everything.”
