Middle East, Dermer to mediators: ‘Partial agreement on hostages not ruled out’

Milan, Sept. 2 (LaPresse) – Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, has informed U.S., Egyptian, and Qatari mediators that Israel does not overlook the possibility of a partial agreement with Hamas for the release of hostages. He urged them not to interpret public Israeli statements—favoring only a full deal—as definitive. According to Channel 12, this message, relayed to both Egypt and Qatar, has instilled cautious optimism among the mediators that talks might resume soon.
