Washington wants Israel to delay its ground offensive into the Gaza Strip in order to buy time for talks on hostages and to allow more humanitarian aid into the territory, unnamed US sources were quoted as saying by an American newspaper.
The sources claimed that the “fast-moving events” since the Palestinian militant group Hamas freed two American women last week “have spurred the Biden administration to more urgently suggest that the Israelis allow time to negotiate the release of 212 other hostages.”
The Hamas movement may release about 50 dual-nationals held in the Gaza Strip, the New York Times reported, citing a senior Israeli military official.
According to the paper, the official said that "based on conversations the United States has had with Qatar, there is a possibility that Hamas could release the approximately 50 dual-nationals separate from any broader deal."
CNN reported earlier that the US had pressured Israel to postpone its ground operation in Gaza and ensure the release of hostages.
