Hamas Demands End to Gaza War under Hostage Deal
(Reuters) James Mackenzie - Hamas said Tuesday that it will free its remaining hostages only if Israel agrees to end the war and withdraw all its troops from Gaza. Officials from Hamas and Israel have been holding talks with Qatari and Egyptian mediators. Israel says it will not end the war until Hamas is dismantled and all hostages are free. "Hamas is the only obstacle to the release of the hostages," said director general of Israel's Foreign Ministry Eden Bar Tal.
