Israeli official says ‘there will be no ceasefire’ for Gaza amid hostage talks

A senior Israeli official told CNN that there will be “no ceasefire” in Gaza amid US and Qatari efforts to free more than 200 hostages held there by Hamas.

The official had “no knowledge” of US calls for a delay in the ground operation in Gaza and said that both Israel and the US want all hostages to be released “as quickly as possible”, they told Matthew Chance of CNN .

But, the official added, “humanitarian efforts cannot be allowed to impact the mission of dismantling Hamas.”

Israel agreed to a US request to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, “although this was not popular in Israel,” the official said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that US President Joe Biden’s administration was speaking “regularly” with the Israeli government about the situation in Gaza.

“We both want to make sure that the many hostages that were taken come home, and that’s why we’re working on this, as I said, practically every minute of the day,” Blinken told NBC’s Meet the Press.
