The Wall Street Journal reports that Israel in recent days offered Hamas leaders safe passage to another country if they disarmed and released the hostages they were holding.

The US newspaper notes that Mossad chief David Barnea (pictured) conveyed the offer during meetings in Egypt last week.

The newspaper, citing Arab mediators, said Hamas rejected the proposal.

Regarding Hezbollah’s front in Lebanon, the head of US diplomacy, Anthony Blinken, considers it “really urgent” to find a “diplomatic solution” to the conflict between Israel and the pro-Iranian organization, while calling for the “protection of civilians”, without to call for a ceasefire.

“We feel that it is really urgent to reach a diplomatic solution and fully implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701 so that there can be real security conditions on the border between Israel and Lebanon,” Anthony Blinken said after his meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Najim Mikati in London referring to calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah.

Anthony Blinken’s tour of the Middle East was preceded by Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Shinuwar, an event which Washington insists could be a turning point in the conflict and an end to the war in Gaza. .
