Israeli media report on progress in talks between U.S. administration and the Palestinian group of Hamas regarding the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Israeli public broadcaster Kan claims to progress negotiations leading the American envoy adam boehler and Hamas Khalil Al-Hayya leader.
From Hamas and Washington did not comment on these allegations.
The American newspaper house was published on Wednesday that Donald Trump administration leads direct talks with Hamas about the release of Israeli hostages that have American citizenship.
The progress report occurs when Israel decided to send a delegation to Qatar on Monday to continue interruptions on fire in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the American envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff should visit the region on Tuesday to advocate for the extension of the first phase of the fire break agreement, Kan reported.
Israel estimates that 59 hostages are still in Gaza, of which at least 22 are alive. They are expected to be released in the second phase of the Fire Interruption and the exchange of prisoners in Gaza, which would require Israel to fully withdraw their strengths from Gaza and permanently end the war.
A fire interruption agreement is in force since January, pausing Israeli genocidal war in Gaza in which more than 48,400 people were killed, mostly women and children, and the enclave remained in ruins.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued orders for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister of Yoav Gallanta for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a lawsuit for genocide at the True Justice Court.
