Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the hostage negotiations team commented on the reports of a single-stage deal that would see the release of all hostages and the safe exile of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, N12 news reported on Thursday.

Earlier reports by Maariv claimed the deal was a work in progress that had been leaked, while KAN News reported that the deal had been presented to US President Joe Biden.

The Jerusalem Post was unable to confirm the status of the alleged deal or its contents.

According to KAN News, the proposed deal includes the release of all hostages, a safe passage for Sinwar and others who choose to leave, the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons, the demilitarization of Gaza through a control mechanism, and an end to the war.
