US President Donald Trump ’s hostage envoy Adam Boehler has been leading the talks with Hamas on behalf of Washington .

Israel was not fully briefed on the talks ahead of time, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is unhappy with their existence, a government official says.

The talks have largely been focused on securing the release of American - Israeli hostage Edan Alexander along with bodies of four American - Israelis .

Trump 's ultimatum came after a series of roller-coaster days for the hostages' families.

Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 59 hostages, including 58 of the 251 abducted by Hamas -led terrorists on October 7, 2023 .

Hamas has so far released 30 living hostages, 20 Israeli civilians, five soldiers, and five Thai nationals.
