Families of those held in enclave urge Isaac Herzog to keep issue in focus for incoming Trump administration
Israel’s President Isaac Herzog spoke to Elon Musk this week in a bid to enlist the world’s richest man to keep the stalled negotiations for the release of Israeli hostages on the incoming Trump administration’s agenda. The conversation, which took place at the urging of some of the families of hostages still being held by Hamas, was part of Herzog’s “wide and fairly extensive efforts to apply pressure on all parties”, a person familiar with the conversation said.
While dozens were released in a brief Israeli hostage-for-Palestinian prisoner swap in November that year, the rest have remained captive despite many failed rounds of indirect negotiations between the US and Israel with mediators Egypt and Qatar. Seven of the remaining hostages also hold American nationality, although five of them are believed to be dead.
