Safe passage in exchange for hostages: Hamas rejects Israeli ceasefire offer
Hamas rejected an Israeli offer of safe passage out of the Gaza Strip in exchange for the group laying down its arms and releasing the hostages, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
According to the report, Mossad chief David Barnea, Israels top negotiator in the hostage-deal and ceasefire talks, made the offer.
Citing Arab mediators involved in the discussions, the WSJ reported that Hamas quickly turned the proposal down after it was initially pitched during a meeting between Barnea and Egyptian officials.
