Israel has requested the Trump administration to intervene in the situation involving the release of a female hostage, Arbel Yehud, who was abducted from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. The Israeli officials are urging Hamas to adhere to the terms of the deal and release Yehud, emphasizing that she is a civilian and should have been freed by now.
The message was conveyed to Steve Witkoff, the Middle East envoy for the Trump administration. The US, Qatar, and Egypt have been playing crucial roles as mediators in the negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages between Israel and Hamas.
