Title: U.S. Officials Urge Ceasefire in Gaza for Hostage Release Talks<\/strong><\/p>\n Washington:<\/strong> U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the need for Israel to halt its airstrikes in Gaza to facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas. Speaking on CBS News\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d Rubio stated, \u201cEveryone knows that hostages can\u2019t be released while the bombing continues. The attacks must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n In a conversation with a CNN reporter, President Donald Trump confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports pausing the military operations in Gaza. <\/p>\n Negotiations between Israel and Hamas are expected to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, with Netanyahu expressing hope that hostages could be freed soon.<\/p>\n Hamas Pushes for Quick Release of Prisoners<\/strong><\/p>\n Discussions follow Hamas’s positive response to Trump\u2019s proposal aimed at ending the conflict and exchanging hostages in Gaza for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel. <\/p>\n Rubio, appearing on multiple Sunday talk shows, acknowledged the \u201clogistical challenges\u201d that need to be addressed for a successful hostage release. He also pointed out that the longer-term goals, such as figuring out how Gaza will be governed and disarming Hamas, will be even tougher to achieve. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not possible to set up a new government in Gaza that isn\u2019t controlled by Hamas in just a few days. It will take time,\u201d Rubio explained during his NBC interview.<\/p>\n President Trump later told CNN that clarity on Hamas’s commitment to peace should be expected \u201csoon.\u201d He warned that if Hamas refuses to step down, they would face “Complete Obliteration!”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Title: U.S. Officials Urge Ceasefire in Gaza for Hostage Release Talks Washington: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the need for Israel to halt its airstrikes in Gaza to facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas.
