Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he would send mediators to Qatar on Tuesday to discuss the release of hostages held in Gaza after Hamas announced the release of US-Israeli Edan Alexander.
Following a meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff and ambassador Mike Huckabee, "the Prime Minister instructed to send a negotiation delegation to Doha tomorrow," Netanyahu's office said in a statement Monday.
Netanyahu thanked US President Donald Trump on Monday for helping to secure the expected release of the US-Israeli hostage from Gaza, which Hamas has said was part of direct contact with the Americans.
A statement from Netanyahu's office said that in a phone call, he "thanked President Trump for his assistance in the release of (Israeli military) soldier Edan Alexander."
