Netanyahu Leads Security Talks as Hostage Negotiation Progresses
Jerusalem, June 10, 2025 – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a high-level security meeting Tuesday evening to assess progress in ongoing negotiations aimed at securing the release of hostages held by Hamas.
The meeting included Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and members of Israel’s negotiating team. Officials discussed recent developments in the talks and evaluated possible next steps.
The Prime Minister’s Office announced that the discussions were prompted by “some progress” in the current negotiations. The latest efforts are part of a broader international push to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza since the outbreak of hostilities.
Israel has been working closely with regional and international partners to secure the return of the hostages, many of whom have been in captivity for several months. The talks have gained momentum amid increasing global pressure for a humanitarian resolution.
The government has not released specific details of the negotiation framework due to security and diplomatic sensitivities.
