Hamas says it has “lost contact” with the group of fighters holding an Israeli-American hostage captive in Gaza following an Israeli strike on their location.
The 21-year-old soldier, Edan Alexander, has appeared in videos released by the group in recent days.
Israel had asked for him to be released on day one of a new 45-day ceasefire proposal put forward last week which has been rejected by Hamas.
I think you misunderstood. Hamas disarming isn’t the sticking point here; the fact that it’s a temporary ceasefire is. Israel wanted Hamas to disarm for a month and a half ceasefire.
