The Donald Trump administration made a new offer to Hamas in an effort to break the stalemate in the war in Gaza: an American hostage in exchange for a statement calling for calm and the resumption of negotiations, Axios reported.
The offer comes as negotiations have stalled further after Israel renewed attacks on the enclave following the ending of the first phase of the ceasefire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that if Hamas continues to refuse to release hostages the country will occupy parts of Gaza.
